This year has been a journey of growth, discovery, and transformation. What began with new projects across the Cape Metropole soon unfolded into a tapestry of experiences that tested our resilience and showcased our creativity. From building Kolkol baths and saunas to designing gardens from scratch, from transporting towering trees on flatbed trucks to returning to trusted clients at their new homes, each opportunity became part of a larger story of triumph.

Behind every success stood our team, loyal staff whose dedication continues to anchor the business, and interns from near and far who brought fresh energy and perspectives. Their contributions have shaped not only our projects but the culture of BEST Landscaping itself.

Guided by the steady advice of our mentor and business advisor, Colin Priem, we  navigated decisions that led to exponential growth. One of the most significant milestones was the launch of our website in May. More than a digital presence, it became a living platform generating leads, hosting our monthly newsletter, and drawing new audiences into our world.

Our horizons expanded further with international visits to Australia and the Netherlands.  These experiences enriched our understanding of global landscaping trends, enabling us to bring fresh insights home and advise clients with a broader, more informed perspective.

Yet our story this year was not only about business. Through CSI projects with SANCCOB, we supported vulnerable penguins and seabirds, while initiatives in Camps Bay created employment opportunities for the homeless. These efforts remind us that landscaping is ultimately about nurturing life whether in gardens, communities, or ecosystems.

Perhaps the most exciting chapter was the purchase of a smallholding in Atlantis. This farm will evolve into a nursery, allowing us to propagate our own plants and deepen the sustainability of our work. It represents not just growth, but the planting of seeds for the future.

As we conclude 2025, we extend our sincere gratitude to our partners, suppliers, staff, and clients. Together, we have shaped a story worth remembering, and we look forward to continuing the journey in the year ahead. We wish everyone a joyous, restful, and safe Festive Season. For those who celebrate Christmas, may this period be a blessed time of peace, joy, and happiness.
