What Our Clients Say

What Cape Town homeowners are saying

★★★★★

"Honestly thought our garden was beyond saving. Cole had it looking sharp within a day — and then quietly pointed out a few things we hadn't even noticed. Didn't make a big deal of it, just sorted it. Really happy."

SM
Sarah M.Constantia
★★★★★

"He showed up when he said he would. Sounds like a low bar, I know — but after a string of no-shows from other guys, it genuinely made our week. Garden looks great too."

PV
Pieter V.Newlands
★★★★★

"My neighbour knocked on our door to ask who'd done the garden. First time that's ever happened. I'd say that's a solid review."

LB
Lauren B.Claremont
★★★★★

"Cole's been keeping our place tidy for a while now and we genuinely don't have to think about it anymore. That peace of mind is worth a lot — more than I expected when we first called."

JH
James H.Hout Bay
★★★★★

"Quoted honestly, arrived on time, did exactly what he said he would. Simple as that — but it's apparently rare enough to be worth mentioning. Will definitely use again."

About Cole

A little obsession goes a long way.

I'm Cole Van Der Schyff, and I started Lawn & Order because I couldn't find a landscaping crew that treated your garden the way I'd treat my own. So I built one — and I've been on every single job since day one.

Most garden services send different people each month, quote one thing and deliver another, and disappear when there's a problem. We built Lawn & Order to be the opposite of that.

I believe a well-kept garden lifts a whole street. We're based in Cape Town's Southern Suburbs and we care about the work we leave behind — because we'll be back to look at it next month.
