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.
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.
Have a lawn that takes a lot of foot traffic? Planning a new commercial development that will see loads of feet across the door and through the grounds? While grass can look lovely, it does require committed maintenance in order to look good all year round and can take quite a beating from too many feet. So it might not be the best choice for high foot traffic areas.
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 Reviving an outdated space?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.
Are you building an office block in a fire-prone area? Developing a property on an urban/wild interface that includes wild indigenous vegetation? If you’re looking at creating a corporate garden or landscaped space, it’s worth considering firescaping – the practice of including fire-safe measure in your garden to reduce the risk of a fire.
Your office garden adds value to your property and brings numerous benefits to your staff’s work experience. But it’s not enough to just have a garden – you need to maintain and care for it to ensure it stays in the best possible shape. An unkempt garden, especially one that is dry and dying, can have a negative impact far worse than not having a garden at all.
More and more, hard-working professionals are keeping late hours or working night shifts on big projects. And, as we already know that a corporate garden has many employee benefits, what could be better than a corporate moon garden?
Interior plantscaping is a style of interior decorating that focuses on the use of indoor plants and containers to decorate and energise interior spaces. As organisations take more notice of the importance of green spaces for workplace happiness and productivity, plantscaping has become more popular in commercial developments.
