Landscape Guru is one the top choices for landscape maintenance in and around Johannesburg. Their business is favoured for their strong credibility, having been established over 30 years ago.

The team is led by David Trope, a distinguished landscaper known for his works in zen, contemporary, formal, and other types of unique garden designs. 

We’re impressed to hear Mr. Trope personally trained his assistants, who are all talented and accredited contractors. Their landscape technicians are also highly commended for their meticulous workmanship and professionalism.

Take note, though, that their team is quite small and is often fully booked. We suggest calling in advance and setting an appointment to secure a slot.

Another thing we like about Landscape Guru is they offer a wide range of gardening and landscaping services, including design and installation, maintenance, and provision of plants, water features, and even fire pits for landscapes.

Another feature clients appreciate is Landscape Guru’s dedication to sticking to the agreed timeline. Their pricing also depends on the client’s budget and what the two parties agreed upon, which we think is awesome.

There are several minor complaints about Landscape Guru, though. Previous clients shared with us that they found it difficult to reach out to the business representatives for enquiries, which is a tad discouraging. 

Gazzy Landscaping is a high-performing business located at the suburbs of Glenhazel. Their work is focused on landscaping, especially in overall garden design and maintenance.

Their services include irrigation planning and installation, tree felling, stone cladding, court repair, and general gardening. Additionally, Gazzy Landscaping also provides painting and carpentry services.

Gazzy Landscaping’s team is also in demand for their brilliant advice and consultation services for garden and landscape layouts, space transformations, and plant planning.

We love how the business takes great care of its name and reputation, ensuring that they’re represented by only the best. 

Gazzy Landscaping is well-staffed with highly-trained technicians who are often complimented by their clients for their superb workmanship and apparent know-how. On top of that, clients appreciate the team’s chemistry and efficiency in completing the job.

We also like that the company is partnered with renowned brands for lawn care and only uses products and tools that are updated, proven safe, and effective.

Gazzy Landscaping is quite responsive to service calls too, which we commend. They’re usually prompt in arriving at the site, however, there are a few reports on delayed servicing.

There are also a handful of grievances regarding the attitude of some of Gazzy Landscaping’s personnel. Past clients shared with us their unpleasant experiences dealing with dismissive staff, which is disappointing.

Next on our list is a small but up-and-rising tree feller, gardening, and landscaping expert, Jamgreen works. The company was started by one individual and then expanded to a lean team of 11 freelance contractors.

Jamgreen works has been providing its gardening and landscaping services in and around the city for over 20 years already. Considering that they’re a small company, we’re impressed with their solid track record and a long list of satisfied clients.

Their technicians are preferred for their meticulous craftsmanship and professionalism. Past clients also appreciate how the team always cleans up right after the job is complete. 

In fact, Jamgreen works also offers complimentary loading and dumping for all their clients. Unlike other companies, the first consultation is free as well, which we think is awesome.

Our favourite feature of this company is their budget-friendly rates for their landscape maintenance services. We love that clients are provided with excellent workmanship at an affordable price.

We also appreciate Jamgreen works’ efficiency and quick turnaround time. Their team usually finishes their job orders within the day, which is convenient for clients.

Unfortunately for some, the company is quite in-demand – and with their small team, slots book up pretty quickly. 

Country Life Gardens is one of the most sought-after and highly regarded landscape maintenance service providers in Gauteng province.

They have been providing their services for over 20 years already and the company has been able to grow the business over the years. Country Life Gardens are experts in landscaping, garden cleanups, tree felling, water features and irrigation installation.

One of the company’s strongest assets is its team of creative and professional landscapers. Clients appreciate how they’re well-versed in different landscaping styles for both formal and informal gardens.

Some of their most popular designs are Tuscan gardens, tropical gardens, French Provence setting, and English country style. 

Country Life Gardens’ team is also highly-regarded for its clean craftsmanship. Clients tell us that the company always provides value for their money, which they appreciate.

Another feature we love about this company is they’re very committed to sticking to deadlines. Country Life Gardens covers a big market, though, and is actually situated outside of the city, in Sandton.

Because of their far location, unlike other landscapers who can respond to service calls immediately, it can take their team about an hour to arrive at your site. 

Thus, we suggest you go through your desired timeline during the consultation to ensure projects are completed on time.

Also, make sure that your appointment is set in stone as there are few complaints about Country Life Gardens abruptly cancelling confirmed bookings.

Green Kite Instant Lawns is another popular choice when it comes to landscape maintenance needs. If you’re looking to transform your space into a spacious lawn and are in a rush, they’re a great choice.

They cater to both residential and commercial clients, which is awesome. Their team is an expert when it comes to soil preparation, excavations, assessment, cultivation, lawn installation, and maintenance.

Too bad that they’re limited exclusively to lawn care and do not offer other necessary services like landscape design and irrigation installation. 

Nevertheless, we think Green Kite Instant Lawns can be really helpful for those just starting to build their dream landscape.

Green Kite Instant Lawns is also quite known for its efficiency. Past clients appreciate how quickly their team finishes jobs, only taking less than a week to prepare the entire lawn.

We also selected Green Kite Instant Lawns for their impressive installation and maintenance services. We love how each member of the Green Kite Instant Lawns is competent, diligent, and very steadfast in providing top-notch workmanship.

However, we are a bit iffy after hearing a complaint about the company’s inconsistency when it comes to communicating with clients. While consultation with them usually goes well, there seems to be a problem when it comes to keeping clients in the loop.

We’re told there are cases where Green Kite Instant Lawns’ representatives fail to let clients know when there are unforeseen changes in the project, which can lead to inconvenience on the client’s part.

Men In Green, operating since 2009, boasts a solid reputation and over a decade of experience in landscape design and maintenance.

We’re impressed with how much the company has grown into a business with a loyal clientele, reflecting a track record of successful projects.

Men In Green offers a comprehensive range of services, including garden and landscape design, as well as maintenance of gardens, pools, and ponds.

We like that this allows clients to access a one-stop solution for their outdoor spaces.

The company takes pride in its talented and professional team of garden experts. With 20 staff organized into 4 teams, each led by a team leader and supported by 2 Fully Qualified Experienced Landscapers, Men In Green ensures a skilled workforce for effective project execution.

We like that Men In Green is committed to continuous improvement, regularly upgrading products, techniques, and abilities to incorporate technological advancements in design and irrigation systems.

We find that this commitment reflects a proactive approach to staying at the forefront of industry standards.

We’ve heard only the best things about them. We highly recommend!
