MORE ABOUT OUR LANDSCAPING SERVICES IN GAUTENG

Are you looking for garden design or a landscaper? Perhaps you don’t know where to start? Above all, you require a garden designer in Johannesburg or Pretoria. They should offer landscaping and garden design that will most importantly provide a professional service?
Firstly, please have a look at our photo galleries to see examples of our previous work. This will give you an indication of what we can do for you. On the other hand, perhaps the best place to start is our before and after section. For example, you may have a garden that requires some attention and re-design. Perhaps you require a more specific outdoor space with a fire pit – we have examples of all of these spaces!
Everyone is different and so are their needs when it comes to what they expect from their outdoor areas. In other words, different people have different priorities and differing tastes.
Established in 2006, The Friendly Plant (Pty) Ltd is today, an internationally recognised, award-winning garden design and landscaping company based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.

THE LASTING FIRST IMPRESSION

Your garden is the first thing that any visitor will see when approaching your house and the last thing that they will see when leaving… to clarify, first and last impressions always last!

There is no such thing as the ‘best’ landscaper. However, there is ‘the best landscaper for you’!
Your garden is a place where you can enjoy spending time outdoors, enjoying your property to the fullest. It follows that selecting the right garden designer will help to attain this goal while making your garden stand out from the crowd! Live in your garden!

OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH TO OUR WORK

Typically, a pool company will focus only on the swimming pool. Similarly, a decking company will only give attention to the placement of the deck. Lastly, many landscape service providers look chiefly at the planting of the garden.

WE ARE DIFFERENT

We take a holistic design approach, designing landscapes and outdoor spaces (fire pit, boma area, outdoor kitchen, water feature) tailored to suit a specific space and the requirements, taste and lifestyle of a specific client.

BEYOND SOUTH AFRICA?

Are you a client looking for garden designers in Johannesburg, Pretoria or perhaps landscaping services in international territories beyond the borders of South Africa?

We can help!
With well over a decade of experience in exporting plants (by road, sea and air) as well as servicing international clients, we can certainly assist.
We service clients in numerous countries, including (to date): Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
