Transforming Landscapes, Building Trust
Transforming Landscapes, Building Trust
In May 2024, Le Jardin Lilongwe was once again called upon to demonstrate its expertise in landscaping, this time by Old Mutual Malawi. Tasked with revamping the outdoor and indoor green spaces of the newly constructed Mthunzi Funeral Service Center in Lilongwe, Le Jardin’s reputation as a leading professional landscaping firm was put to the test.
The challenge was clear. Old Mutual was dissatisfied with the initial landscaping work and required a complete overhaul, including new flowerbeds and carefully placed potted plants to enhance both the interior and exterior spaces. With the inauguration date fast approaching, Le Jardin was initially asked to complete the transformation within a week—an ambitious deadline given the scope of the work and ongoing construction at the site.
The funeral service center spans approximately one acre, and after thoroughly studying the site plan, it became evident that meeting the one-week deadline would compromise the quality of the project. A revised timeline of one month was agreed upon, allowing for the meticulous attention to detail that Le Jardin Lilongwe is known for.
The project required extensive land clearing, excavation to remove unwanted rocks and soil, and the delivery of over 21 tons of topsoil. A substantial amount of greenery was introduced, including 15 sacks of grass and nearly 2,000 different plant species, all carefully chosen to bring the landscape to life. The result was a serene and beautifully manicured environment, perfectly suited to the dignity of the Mthunzi Funeral Service Center.
Impressed with the high standard of professionalism and the quality of work, Old Mutual Malawi decided to retain Le Jardin Lilongwe for the ongoing routine garden maintenance of the center, ensuring that the landscape remains pristine and welcoming to all who visit.
Le Jardin Lilongwe is proud to have partnered with Old Mutual Malawi on this project and continues to build a legacy of trust and excellence through its commitment to transforming spaces into works of art.
