In the pictures that follow, one can see visually the being of ProGreen Designs and some of the designs that Hilton James MacLarty has created for clients.

Many of these landscape designs are for Eco Estate on the eastern sea board of South Africa. These designs are a combination of contempery, formal landscape design and habitat rehabilitation of the natural indigenous vegetation.

However, this is not the only styles which feature. Hilton MacLarty enjoys projects which offer the opportunity to use different styles and has created landscape designs for rural, domestic, commercial and exhibition.
