Gardening in winter seems to trouble a lot of people, but it needn’t be so. Here we share some direction to help your cause, and prepare for a beautiful summer garden.
Looking after a garden is an ongoing affair and like any relationship, it really does take regular and ongoing maintenance, especially at this time of the year. With all the rain, weeds grow faster than the plants so generally speaking every plant in your garden needs to be cared for specifically.
The idea was to create a succulent garden that would be water wise and low maintenance, whilst at the same time incorporating the aesthetics of a “Karoo Padstal” in look and feel – the type of vibe that they hoped to bring to the North Coast.
The service of composting can be thrown around in the garden services industry as an optional or unnecessary procedure but we see composting as a vital and essential service in every garden. This blog explains the procedure, benefits, and best timing for composting your garden beds.
At this time of the year, we find ourselves in that “white space” as the seasons change from one to another, after a long, hot summer with unpredictable rains. Around now, we will generally be seeing gardens that are damaged, dying off, ravaged by heat, or washed away by torrents of rain and suffering from a little lack of care. Help is at hand though as we share some tips on breathing new life into your garden during this change of season and preparing it for winter.
Eco Balance Landscaping recently won a SALI (SOUTH AFRICAN LANDSCAPE INSTITUTE) SILVER award in the Garden and Turf Maintenance category for 7 Pigeonwood Close, Simbithi. This garden was installed by Eco Balance Landscapes in August 2015. The residents requested lots of flowering plants and were blessed with a great outcome.
Healthy gardens start from the ground up which means you need to nurture the soil with regular and ongoing feeding for a healthy landscape. One of the best ways to do this is to use compost in your garden.
We are always super-excited to have super-excited customers! One of the lucky-draw winners of our birthday competition held on Life & Style Radio in March, recently enjoyed an extra garden maintenance visit as her prize. She shared her joy with us in the following comments:
“I just wanted to say what an awesome job your team did here today.
What an amazing bunch of people they are, and they hardly drew breath all day! Worked so hard in the heat (and despite our resident green mamba who made an early appearance)! They are an absolute credit to you and could not do enough to make sure I was happy with everything. Thank you.
Thank you too for the Easter basket – we have planted it into one of the empty pots outside and my own new pots look fabulous all planted up.
Thanks again for the great service and please pass on sincere thanks to your fabulous team.”

t EcoBalance, we are committed to helping our clients create sustainable and stunning landscapes to suit their surrounds, their buildings, and their organisations. When it comes to corporate landscaping, we understand that landscapes need to be maintained and refreshed over time and in line with changing trends.
Your business signage, especially near your commercial property, is one of your business’ greatest advertising opportunities. It should be designed to make a great impression, invite visitors in and send a message about your business and its purpose. The best way to boost that signage? With top notch commercial landscaping (it really does count).
Developing a new shopping centre? Reviving an outdated space? Shopping mall landscaping layout and design has changed significantly over time as shoppers demand more of a lifestyle rather than pure shopping experience. This means working with a theme and style that encourages shoppers to stay and linger in shopping spaces – to enjoy their time indoors and, ultimately, spend more.
