Heart & Soil

Getting a garden right in George means working with what the Garden Route climate actually throws at you—summer heat, winter rain, and soil that shifts between sandy and clay depending on where you're planted. When your garden isn't thriving or you're looking at a yard that needs reshaping, you need someone who understands fynbos principles alongside conventional landscaping. A well-designed garden here isn't just about aesthetics; it's about choosing plants and systems that survive without constant fussing, managing water sensibly through dry spells, and building hardscaping that doesn't wash away in winter deluges. Heart & Soil approaches gardens as living systems, not as ornamental afterthoughts. Whether you're thinking about indigenous planting, irrigation setup, stone paving, or clearing and replanting a tired section, this is the kind of work where local knowledge—which plants actually belong here, how drainage flows on your specific plot, what survives neglect—matters more than templates.
