Landscaping and garden design in Johannesburg South by Living Green Landscapes

Landscaping  Across  Johannesburg  South

Johannesburg South is a part of the city with serious garden potential — generous stands, established families, and a community that values outdoor living. We design and install bespoke landscapes across the southern suburbs, bringing the same owner-managed quality that has defined our work for over a decade.

Our Service

What's Included

  • Bespoke garden design for Johannesburg South's varied stand sizes and established suburban character
  • Soft landscaping — planting that thrives in Highveld conditions and suits the scale of southern suburb properties
  • Hard landscaping — paving, retaining walls, steps, and pathways in materials that complement each suburb's character
  • Bomas and entertainment areas — outdoor living built for Johannesburg South's family and entertaining lifestyle
  • Water features — ponds, waterfalls, and water elements suited to the scale that southern suburb stands allow
  • Automated irrigation — essential through Johannesburg's dry winters across the larger gardens common in this area
  • Herb and vegetable gardens — productive kitchen garden installations for families who value growing their own food
How We Work

Our Approach in Johannesburg South

Johannesburg South takes in a broad arc of established suburbs stretching from the Klipriviersberg hills through to the outer southern belt — Glenvista, Mulbarton, Bassonia, Meyersdal, Mondeor, and the communities around them. What these areas share is space: stands are often larger than many northern Johannesburg suburbs, there is a settled, family-oriented quality to the communities, and homeowners take genuine pride in their properties.

We travel across Johannesburg South from our Little Falls, Roodepoort base to consult and install. The southern suburbs offer some of the most interesting garden opportunities in Johannesburg — elevated properties with views, generous plots with room for proper outdoor living spaces, and established communities where a beautiful garden is valued as much for what it says about a home as for how it looks from the road.

Johannesburg South's residential character combines older established suburbs with newer security developments, and we work comfortably across both. Established properties often have mature trees and structural planting worth working with; newer estates have strict architectural guidelines that require experience to navigate well. We bring the right approach to each context.

The southern suburbs sit at elevation — much of Johannesburg South occupies the ridge system south of the city, giving many properties excellent views and a garden microclimate shaped by air movement and orientation. We factor this into every design: selecting windbreak planting for exposed positions, making the most of view corridors, and choosing species that thrive in the specific aspect each property offers.
