What We Do On Every Visit
Our standard garden care visit includes:
- Lawn cutting, edging, and a proper finish
- Pruning and shaping of shrubs and plants (not just hacking)
- Weeding and tidying garden beds
- Sweeping and weeding of paved areas and hard surfaces
- Removal of all cuttings and garden waste
Where needed, we also flag issues early, like pest problems, struggling plants, irrigation leaks, or areas that need seasonal attention, so small problems do not become expensive ones.

What sets us apart from the rest...
Garden care is not just lawn cutting.
It is the ongoing craft of keeping a garden healthy, balanced, and looking right through every season.
If you are looking for a team that simply mows and goes, we are probably not the cheapest option.
If you want a garden that feels consistently neat, cared for, and quietly improving over time, this is exactly what we do.
“Ross landscaped two gardens for us, in Umhlanga Rocks and later in La Lucia. He has deep plant knowledge and a real gift for conceptualising and creating gardens that work. He is honest, reliable, and delivers on what he promises, backed by a long-standing team. We would gladly recommend him.”
— CLAUDIA O.

"We have continued to use Earth Landscapes through the years because we have enjoyed Ross’ vision, his patience with us and his attention to detail. We have now added the garden services into the mix. Ross’ team are friendly, and my husband usually enjoys a bit of banter with them. Graciously happy clients... Thank you Ross!
— DEON & MELISSA C
"Thank you Ross & the Earth Landscapes Team for transforming our garden, home and lifestyle."

"Creative and visionary to space opportunities we had not dreamed of for our garden. It is not just a garden now, but an outdoor lounge, kids play area, and sports area."
— HANNAH S.
We’ve used Earth Landscapes for over 10 years, and they still impress us every visit. The garden is always left spotless, hedges and trees are perfectly trimmed, and all refuse is removed without fuss. The team is friendly, professional, and takes real pride in their work. When we forgot to open the gate, they rearranged their schedule and came back - that level of care is rare. Highly recommended.
— DENBEIGH S

— MAHAT M.
“The Earth Landscapes Guys are fast and efficient. When they are finished our space looks immaculate.”

"Best garden service I have ever used. I use them for everything from mowing, fertilization and irrigation."
— JEREMIE B.
How It Works
-
Quick assessment
We do a short walk-around to understand your garden, priorities, and the level of finish you want.
-
Choose a steady rhythm
Most clients are on weekly or fortnightly visits. We keep the interval consistent through the year because gardens don't stop needing attention in winter. The tasks simply change.
-
Refresh if needed
If the garden has drifted, we start with a once-off tidy and reset so ongoing care stays efficient and predictable.
-
Full-service visits
Each visit covers lawns, beds, pruning, weeding, hard surfaces, and a proper clean-up and removal of cuttings.
-
Proactive care
We flag issues early, like pests, struggling plants, or irrigation leaks, so small problems do not become expensive ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often do you visit?
Most clients are on weekly or fortnightly visits. We keep the same interval year-round. The tasks change seasonally, but the standard stays the same.
Do you offer once-off clean-ups?
Yes. If a garden needs a reset, we can do a once-off clean-up and then advise on an ongoing care rhythm.
What’s included in a standard visit?
Lawns, edging, pruning, bed tidying, weeding, sweeping of hard surfaces, and removal of all cuttings.
Do you remove garden waste?
Yes. We remove all cuttings and garden waste generated on the visit.
Why do you recommend a consistent weekly or fortnightly rhythm?
Because gardens change quickly in Durban’s climate. Consistency keeps things under control and prevents the garden from needing periodic “rescue” visits. The tasks vary, but the rhythm protects the result.
Do you handle irrigation repairs?
We can flag issues and advise. For specialist repairs or new installations, we coordinate with trusted irrigation contractors.
