About GroundWork
15 years growing spaces people never want to leave.
Founded by horticulturist Thabo Mokoena in 2011, GroundWork was built on the belief that an outdoor space should feel like a natural extension of how you live. Today our crews design, build and care for gardens across Cape Town and the Winelands.

GroundWork took a completely overgrown corner of our property and turned it into the best part of our home. The team was professional, on time and genuinely passionate about plants.
