Centurion · Highveld gardens
Gardens that belong to this climate
MadeleinTuin designs and plants landscapes that can survive a Highveld August — indigenous structure, honest water, and rooms outdoors you will actually use.
Studio
Design for the Highveld, not a catalogue
Based in Centurion. Madelein comes to you. Work is planting-led: trees first, then water, then the small pleasures — a sitting wall, a path that smells of wild garlic after rain.

What we do
All servicesGarden design
Sketches, instructions and plant lists — not heavy drawings people cannot read on a small job.
Planting and indigenous conversion
Beds that earn their water. Indigenous first, with a few well-behaved exotics where they truly earn a place.
Water-wise retrofits
Mulch, zoning, rain capture and plants that do not panic in August.
Courtyards, paths and walls
Stone, brick and timber that hold the planting rather than competing with it.
Water features
Rills, bowls and recycled vessels — moving water without a swimming-pool bill.
Seasonal care plans
What to prune in July, what to leave for the birds, and when to stop watering.

Questions
- Where is MadeleinTuin based?
- Centurion, South Africa. Madelein visits gardens in Centurion and surrounds. Johannesburg north is not currently served.
- Do you only use indigenous plants?
- Indigenous first, especially trees and structural shrubs. A few well-behaved exotics can still earn a place near the house if they do not invade, do not drink the borehole dry, and do not replace a local bird plant.
- Can I get a price online?
- No online price list. Enquire after a visit — soil, access and what the garden actually needs still decide the fee. Travel outside Tshwane is charged at AA rates.
- Do you list other landscapers?
- No. The nursery map is garden centres, indigenous growers and botanic gardens. Competing landscaping firms in Gauteng are not listed.
