How do you build on Kariba's steep stands?

With retaining or terracing sized to the fall, planted banks that hold soil, and drainage that carries storm runoff to a defined outlet. The levels are set out before any surfacing goes down.

What grounds work for a lodge that stands empty between bookings?

Hardy, low-water planting, mulched beds and hard surfaces that stay presentable without weekly attention. Ongoing maintenance can be arranged separately.

Which decking suits this heat and humidity?

One specified for sustained heat and damp, with ventilation beneath and a finish we set out in writing. We will say where composite is the more sensible choice.

Do you have a branch in Kariba?

No. We operate a service area rather than walk-in premises, and travel to your property in Kariba for the site visit. The Zimbabwe team is reachable on +263 77 400 1788.
