A total transformation is in store for these clients. We removed old Rhus Pendulina for a pollarded hedge of Diospyrus Scabrida. We re-built the timber fence and extended the cricket net run up with synthetic turf. The lawn has been levelled and with the help of Rob Mackenzie we installed a slate edge on a concrete ring beam. Enormous slate pavers wind their way through the zen bamboo garden. This garden will have clipped hedges and clipped topiary balls of Wild Rosemary (eriocephalus africanus), Wild Camphor(Tarchonanthus Camphoratus), Searsia Crenata , Buxus and Mphepu (helichrysum petiolare). Cape Chameleons live happily in this garden.
