Alphascaping is landscaping purely for health, wellness and wealth outcomes.
Back when I was on campus, landscaping was taught purely as a design aesthetic and drainage or line of sight related privacy management course; fast forward to today,15 years later, with a project installation work experience portfolio of over ZAR 2 Billion all over South Africa and Sub Saharan Africa – in a range of contexts ranging from peri urban squalor to prestige private executive wealth manors – we have gained invaluable and in depth insights that we leverage to create long term sustainable and world class landscaping project solutions that are notably thought through and resplendently laid out – without costing you an arm and a leg.
Traditionally, landscaping has been all about ‘my sty is better than your sty’ primal motives such as neighbor envy with any considerations such as sustainability thrown in as scant afterthoughts if at all they come into play. From a commercial and public access point of view, the routine cost escalations of preceding project portions and the funder fatigue of project developers by the time they get to the landscaping phase, often dictate that landscaping, as a last contractor on site activity, is typically hastily planned and an approach to install ‘whatever looks the nicest and costs the least’ is taken. This represents a world of missed opportunity in terms of your construction project’s ongoing dynamic performance metrics and cost containment parameters.
In today’s demanding world, your landscape should be more than a pretty face to make the neighbors envy you, or a slapdash solution implemented as an afterthought with leftover project budget. Your landscaping, when appropriately configured – is a major part of the brains forming the thrust to keep you healthy, wealthy and well. You deserve a landscaping solution that does not demand an inordinate amount of your time, saves you money in the immediate and long term, improves your health and wellbeing, ensures long term design integrity and minimizes maintenance costs as much as it progressively enhances the intrinsic commercial and utility value of your property. Alphascaping ensures that your immediate surrounding is configured to bring about and support the ongoing flourishing of the best you, the Alpha you!
Your Alphascape is also the physical touchpoint for you and your family’s practical contribution to environmental sustainability, a reduced carbon footprint, greater energy efficiency, enhanced water usage proficiency, optimum biodiversity, upcycling and all round aesthetic and functional excellence. We understand that private property comes at a premium cost and our passion is to assist you to optimise every last square inch of your property for your maximum benefit. Our seasoned team of Alphascaping professionals also understands the need to design and install landscapes that are not only totally functional and aesthetically pleasant but also reflect the values, cultures and artistic or self – expression aspirations of their owners and or primary investors. This approach underpins Alphascaping and forms the basis of our organisational activities.
Our vast project experience has also taught us that as a last contractor – on – site activity, landscaping usually bears the brunt of preceding project activity budget overruns, resulting in budget shortfalls for landscaping and sub optimum landscape project solutions in a lot of cases.
It is for this reason that we have teamed up with one of the largest home loan service providers in the country, outside of the four big banks; to provide a landscaping project finance facility for residential landscaping projects ranging from R 8000.00 to R 150 000.00 including V.A.T with easy, affordable repayments stretched over 12 to 48 months depending on your credit profile: https://home-fin.co.za/directory/listing/caiman-bateleurs-group
Alphascaping excels in all these categories –and then some more. When Alphascaping, we veer away from the traditional top –down approach of external expert imposed design solutions. Our approach is collaborative and consultative; the central feature of our landscape architectural interventions is you! We design bespoke and elegant landscape layouts around you, specifically, for your primary benefit and convenience. Our Alphascaping endeavours fall within three broad form tranches, namely the Afropolitana, Florapolitana and Hygge design series and each consist of 5 function pillars:
Healthscaping: Our passionate team of solution engineers pulls out all the stops to create your very own sustainable, water efficient and strategically stratified private forest of vitamin, fibre, plant mineral and essential oil wealth – literally at your fingertips. In addition to supplementary nutrition, your healthscaping solution also consists of a bespoke plant selection to eliminate specific allergens where required, eliminate unwanted vermin and create signature garden scents. We also include heart and skin health plants in your healthscape for your ultimate peace of mind. We understand too, that your health goes hand in hand with that of the environment, that is why we do not use any toxic garden chemicals in your landscape, we are a family owned concern and the total health and safety of your family at all times matters to us, just as our own family’s does to us. We also leverage your landscape project to make a positive impact on nationwide environmental health issues; for instance, we only use pure organic certified, laboratory tested hyacinth compost in a custom organic mix for the soil health portion of your Alphascaping intervention – this provides you with a nutrient rich, biodiverse soil medium for your garden’s growth while also cleaning up South Africa’s hyacinth clogged national waterways.
Wellscaping: This pillar of the Alphascaping intervention turns your garden into a resplendent haven for exercise and wellbeing. The feel good aura of physical wellness or the satiating surge of feel good chemicals inside you isn’t something you should only experience after guiltily gulping down copious amounts of your particularly favourite chocolate delight, after imbibing one too many glasses of your favourite sweet red or after an inconveniently scheduled exertion thanks to an exorbitantly priced gym membership. You are perfectly free to work on your physical fitness and muscle tone while enjoying an abundance of wellness in the privacy and comfort of your happy home. Wellscaping innovations enable you to turn leisure, reflective and idle time into life affirming, relationship enriching and wellness fortifying feel good routines.
Spiritscaping: Our clients are increasingly working with us to include carefully considered elements of their spirituality in their landscapes. Our experience in that regard includes and is not limited to Biblically referenced plants, Zen, Feng shui, Chi, Chakra, Halaal, Kosher and Setso or Isintu afroethnobotany or afroentheogenic considerations. In today’s South Africa we are all perfectly free to believe or not believe in absolutely whatsoever we choose to. After all, if you cannot revel in the affectionate company of your loved ones, over Sondag kos or savour the solitude of a quiet corner with a deeply personally meaningful or spiritual text deserving of your richest reflections – in your resplendent personal paradise replete with poignant and personally enriching symbolism, what can you really say you’re here for? Spiritscaping is whatever you say it is to you, a cool breeze, the titillating scent of rain on your bit of our majestic African plains, the dappled warmth of sunshine filtered through bright new spring leaves, it is showy choruses of floral splendour, it’s birdsong, it’s the commanding presence of nature. Peace of mind, anyone?
Moneyscaping: This pillar of the Alphascaping intervention consists of two distinct layers of focus – a belief system layer where plants believed by some, to have money attracting properties such as the money tree in Feng shui gardens, are used within the landscape. The second layer, based on behavioural sciences, applies pop psychology and retail science strategies in the practical design of layouts that enable predetermined financial or enterprise outcomes by heightening pre-existing human behaviours. For instance, specific commercial environment landscape layouts enable increased per client-per visit- expenditure by amplifying perceived or actual inter social strata competitive purchasing phenomena (“keeping up with the Joneses”). In some cases, our in-project design variables spectrum, encompassing a harmonized continuum of indoor and outdoor living & client expenditure enabling physical interfaces and or intangible experiences, is scientifically configured in accordance with client specified commercial outcomes supporting methodologies such as the incorporation of the 6 components of truly addictive experiences in the landscape traversal route design.
Wealthscaping: For those who already have it all, aspire to do so or are meticulously working on creating a veritable store of wealth for posterity; our industry awing design studio and dynamic solution engineering team offers a world first: the Wealthscaping portfolio. Wealthscaping: the essence of disruptive industry innovation is founded on two words that are sweet music to every long term investor’s ears: consistency and continuation. What could be more continuous and consistent than positive returns based on an ultra-high commercial value hardy plant that grows for thousands of years? Working with the relevant authorities to ensure regulatory compliance at all times, we assist clients to curate on and off site portfolios of high commercial value plant specimens such as indigenous cycads and global superfood craze fuelling baobab lots. Our extensive network of industry contacts also ensures access to invaluable third parties such as in –venture insurers and verified horticultural maintenance specialists.
