Clem Pohl

Clem worked on a large overgrown property in Constantia, South Africa to create a more sophisticated garden. He first focused on creating effective drainage systems. Clem also cut down some trees, improving views and light, despite initial resistance. Clem transformed large lawns into defined beds that softened the garden without losing open space. He oversaw borehole creation and irrigation upgrades. The transformed garden impressed the previous owner so much he wanted to buy the house back immediately. Clem completed most work within 4 months.

At the stage at which Clem took on the project, the garden was established but overgrown, unkempt and desperately waterlogged. His mandate was to create something altogether more sophisticated and elegant, with privacy for the cottage located in the grounds. Clems first approach was to create drainage, the efficacy of which has been proven during the heavy downpours this year. He also went to some trouble to clear neighbouring land, in order to help drain the land for which he was responsible. Clem was firmly in favour of cutting down some trees to which the owner was initially resistant. However, Clem got his way and the garden was dramatically improved as a result in terms of views and light. He was also responsible for the creation of large swathes of beds which had hitherto been lawn. The beds gave the garden a much softer feel, without encroaching on the feeling of space, and created a defined garden space for the cottage without blocking the view from the main house. Clem also oversaw the creation of two boreholes and the upgrading of the irrigation system. He created a garden which, when the old owner visited the house recently, made him exclaim that he wanted to buy the house back immediately. The vast majority of this was achieved in a period of about 4 months. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Clem Pohl. He was a delightful man to work with. Sincerely, Daisy Ions
