How to Control Lawn and Garden Overgrowth During the Rainy Season

The rainy season in the Western Cape is great for growth… but sometimes too much of a good thing can get out of hand! 🌧️ Grass grows faster, weeds pop up everywhere, and trees and palms can start taking over your garden.

5 Smart Ways to Keep Your Western Cape Garden Looking Sharp

Strategic Plant Placement

Plant fast-growing species away from walkways, patios, and power lines. This reduces maintenance headaches and keeps your garden functional.

Layered Landscaping

Use shrubs, small trees, and groundcover in layers. This helps manage growth visually and prevents taller trees from overshadowing smaller plants.

Layered Landscaping

Raised beds, planters, and garden borders help contain roots and slow invasive growth. They also make your garden look neat and structured.

Seasonal Mulching

Mulch is your secret weapon. It keeps weeds down, locks in soil moisture, and prevents erosion, all while giving your garden a polished look.

Install Raised Beds and Borders

Raised beds, planters, and garden borders help contain roots and slow invasive growth. They also make your garden look neat and structured.

Pro Tip: Even small adjustments, like repositioning plants or adding borders, can dramatically reduce overgrowth and maintenance time.
