Bishopscourt sits right alongside Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and shares its high rainfall and forest-like growing conditions. Properties here are among the largest in the Southern Suburbs, with extensive, mature gardens that have grown into something closer to a private forest on many stands.
The scale and age of trees in Bishopscourt calls for careful, experienced assessment, root systems here can be extensive, and access on large properties often needs more planning than a typical suburban garden. We treat every Bishopscourt job individually given how much variation there is between properties, some with formal, curated gardens and others with dense, semi-wild tree cover closer to the mountain.
Given the proximity to Kirstenbosch and the mountain, some Bishopscourt properties border natural forest or fynbos, and we’re careful to distinguish planted garden trees from indigenous vegetation when assessing any boundary work.
Larger, more complex properties benefit most from a proper walk-through assessment, which is exactly what we offer, free and with no obligation to proceed.
