Our Story
Three decades, one family,
countless gardens.
Eden Landscaping was founded in 1988 by Gerrit and Hanli — a partnership built on a shared love of the Cape's landscape and a quiet ambition to do the work properly. Thirty-five years later, the studio remains family-run, hands-on, and unhurried.
We are a small team by intention. Every project is led personally, every plant chosen with care. The result is gardens that feel inevitable — as though they were always meant to be there.
Our Process
Four chapters,
one quiet rhythm.
Consultation
We walk the site with you, listen to how you live, and understand the soul of the place.
Design
Drawings, palettes and visualisations refined until the garden feels resolved on paper.
Build
Our in-house teams execute the design with craftsmanship and respectful site management.
Care
We stay involved — calibrated maintenance so the garden matures into its fullest form.
Selected Work
A portfolio
of place.
From corporate landmarks to private estates, each project is approached as a singular response to its setting.

doing it properly.
