I am looking for someone or company to assist with cleaning 3 bed 2 bathrm townhouse in LHP. I have a medium size dog that is inside and out ( loses hair often). I am a teacher that needs to be at work from 06:50 till 15:30, some days 16:00 and off during some holidays. Husband leaves for work at 6:15 till 18:00 mon - sat. Arrangement can be made for cleaning times. I would like a deep clean first round there after standard cleaning if affordable weekly on Mondays. I just want the house to be cleaned ( floors, walls, windows, oven, shower, mirrors etc) We moved in recently and I had knee ligament reconstructive surgery, so difficult to clean properly without feeling pain, exhaustion. Husband works majority of week. He helps with laundry, cooking and here and there. If session done once then will be easier to maintain, then needed on a weekly base if possible. Budget a bit limited but not sure what is going rate. Please help.
Project Overview This landscaping project aims to transform a fully paved -square-meter garden into a vibrant and inviting outdoor space. The design incorporates a lush lawn, large potted plants, a braai area, and various elements to enhance the garden’s overall aesthetic. 1. Lawn Garden Design Preparation: Remove a portion of the existing pavement to create space for the lawn. Ensure proper soil preparation and drainage to support healthy grass growth. Lawn Installation: Select a durable, low-maintenance grass variety suitable for the local climate. Lay sod or plant grass seeds to establish a lush green lawn. Edging: Install garden edging to define the lawn area and separate it from other garden elements. 2. Big Potted Plants Selection: Choose a variety of large, decorative pots that complement the garden's design. Opt for hardy plants that thrive in the local environment and require minimal maintenance. Placement: Arrange the potted plants strategically around the garden to create focal points and add height and dimension. Consider placing them near the lawn's edges, along pathways, or in corners. Plant Choices: Include a mix of flowering plants, shrubs, and small trees to add color, texture, and visual interest. 3. Braai Area Design Location: Identify a suitable location for the braai area that is easily accessible and provides a comfortable setting for social gatherings. Construction: Build a stylish and functional braai structure, ensuring it is safe and compliant with local regulations. Incorporate features such as a built-in grill, prep counters, and storage. Seating and Dining: Create a seating area around the braai with outdoor furniture that is durable and weather-resistant. Include a dining table and chairs for alfresco meals. Lighting: Install outdoor lighting to enhance the ambience and functionality of the braai area during evening use. 4. Beautifying the Garden Pathways: Create pathways using natural stone, gravel, or stepping stones to connect different garden areas. This adds structure and guides visitors through the space. Flower Beds: Design flower beds with a variety of plants that bloom in different seasons, ensuring year-round color and interest. Use mulch to retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth. Water Feature: Consider adding a small water feature, such as a fountain or pond, to create a calming atmosphere and attract wildlife. Decorative Elements: Incorporate garden art, sculptures, or decorative lighting to personalize the space and add unique touches. Conclusion This landscaping project aims to create a cohesive and inviting garden space that blends natural elements with functional design. By incorporating a lush lawn, large potted plants, a well-designed braai area, and various beautifying features, the garden will become a lively and enjoyable outdoor retreat.
