Three considered services

Heritage garden care, week after week.

Three core services, designed to be reliable and quietly excellent. Combine them or take them separately.

Garden Maintenance

Weekly or fortnightly visits — mowing, edging, pruning, weeding, leaf clearance and general upkeep, by a small team that knows your garden.

From R1,200 to R2,000 per visit Garden maintenance details

Pool Service

Skimming, chemistry, vacuuming, brushing and equipment care. Often combined with garden service so it's one visit, one invoice.

R250 per visit Pool service details

Vegetable Garden

Seasonal planting, succession sowing, organic-first pest management and harvesting. So your vegetable patch actually produces, all year.

From R1,500 to R2,500 per visit Vegetable garden details

Home Management

Comprehensive oversight for absent owners — vendor coordination, monthly reports with photos, emergency response and a single named contact.

From R4,500 per month Home management details
Why Rock House Gardens

Old-Cape-Town competence, brand-new accountability.

Local Hout Bay specialists

Built around the valley. We know the wind, the soil, the indigenous fynbos and what survives a southeaster.

Same team, same day

Your garden, pool or home is on a written schedule with the same small team each visit. Consistency is the whole game.

Pride in the work

We believe in lifting up our community — and our team. Pride in the people doing the work shows up in the work itself.

Quiet by design

Battery-powered blowers and hedge trimmers. Quieter for you, quieter for your neighbours, no two-stroke fumes drifting across the garden.

Trusted from abroad

International owners get monthly photo reports, vendor coordination and a contact who picks up the phone.

Where we work

Hout Bay and the Atlantic Seaboard.

Based in Hout Bay, with regular routes through Llandudno, Camps Bay and Constantia.

Owners' words

What clients say.

They turned up the second Tuesday of January and it has been every Tuesday since. The lawn looks better than it has in years and the pool genuinely sparkles. What I appreciate most is the small things — they spotted a slow leak in the irrigation before I did and flagged it, instead of just letting it run.
— Sarah Mostert, Scott Estate, Hout Bay
We bought in Llandudno in 2024 and were managing the property remotely from Geneva — badly. Rock House took it on this year. The monthly photo report is the thing that changed everything. We know exactly what state the house is in, every month, and Jed picks up the WhatsApp.
— Hans & Petra Lehmann, Llandudno / Geneva
A Constantia garden of this size needs people who understand it. The oaks, the hedges, the rose beds — none of it is on autopilot. The Rock House team works the way our previous gardener did before he retired, and that is the highest compliment I can give.
— David Williams, Constantia Upper
