Our clients

Work with big and small.

"We have been lucky enough to have Ross landscape two gardens for us. One when we did extensive renovations to our home in Burnham Drive Umhlanga Rocks, and more recently when we moved to a complex in La Lucia. Ross is fabulous to work with. He has extensive knowledge of plants including all indigenous plants, and is talented at conceptualising, planning and then creating a wonderful garden. Included in this Ross designed and built an outdoor fire pit and installed a comprehensive irrigation system with an underground tank. I have always found Ross to be honest and reliable in all his dealings, and someone who keeps his commitments. He has an experienced team working with him, many of whom have been with him for a long time. I have no hesitation in recommending Ross to conceptualise, design, plan and create wonderful outdoor garden spaces."
