We will take care of every aspect of your garden design from landscaping, irrigation, garden art, garden lights, trellis, water features right through to paving and cladding. We will personally select, deliver and place plants in their correct positions for you to plant at a fee of 10% of the purchase price of the plants. Alternatively, if you want us to do the planting on your behalf we will charge an additional implementation fee. At our first meeting with you we will get an understanding of your needs and requirements. The next step is to look at all the various elements such as water pressure & volume, soil condition, garden design or layout, as well as the lawn and shrub areas. Our team will then present you with a detailed cost estimation. Landscaping is both science and art, and requires good observation and design skills. A good landscaper understands the elements of nature and construction, and blends them accordingly. Landscape design and Landscape Architecture, both take into account soils, drainage, climate and other issues, because the survival of selected plants depends on those. Irrigation is an artificial application of water to the soil. Various types of irrigation techniques differ in how the water obtained from the source is distributed. In surface irrigation systems water moves over and across the land by simple gravity flow. Outdoor Lighting is often overlooked but is an essential component in creating an inviting and welcoming ambience to any home or establishment. Garden Lights can be used to light seating areas in gardens, to light ponds, paths or steps or to provide safe areas in your garden. A Trellis is a structure, usually made from interwoven pieces of wood, bamboo or metal that is often made to support a climbing plant or plants. There are many types of trellis for different places and for different plants, such as sweet peas, grapevines, ivy or other support based growing plants. At Cape Garden Designs our water features includes any of a full range of fountains, pools, ponds, cascades, waterfalls, and streams. Modern water features are often self-contained meaning they do not require to be plumbed in; the water is recycled within the water feature usually from a hidden reservoir (otherwise known as a sump). The trend towards water-wise gardening has led to the development of specialised garden solutions. The choice of a pattern for paving or cladding should take into account the topology and other realities of the terrain. A trellis can also refer to a structure, usually made from interwoven wood pieces, attached to the roof or exterior walls of a house. A pergola is a typical example of a garden feature forming a shaded walk or passageway of pillars that support cross beams and a sturdy open lattice, upon which woody vines are trained. As the sun beats on the metal, it gets very hot, and actually stunts the growth of many vines. For tender plants such as sweet peas, beans, and morning glories, wood or string are the preferred choices.
