It is the first element that greets a visitor and an unkempt sidewalk speaks volumes, even if high walls or fences separate it from the well maintained garden inside.<\/p>\n<p>Strictly speaking, the sidewalk is public space, which means that passers-by should be able to walk on\u00a0 the sidewalk. It\u2019s easy to accommodate that and still make an\u00a0 attractive garden that gives walkers \u00a0a sense of pleasure, while adding to the overall appeal of the street.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21166\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21166 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-30-01-2026-gardening-sidewalk-gardens-photo-2-385x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"385\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mixed sidewalk planting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sidewalk gardens however have their challenges. Out of sight out of mind is very much an issue for gardens on the other side of the wall . Here are some ways to remedy it :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep it simple with plants that generally look after themselves.<\/li>\n<li>Opt for tough, drought hardy plants, especially perennials on sunny sidewalks.<\/li>\n<li>Install an automatic or manual sprinkler system that makes it easy to water, especially if you want to make your sidewalk garden a showpiece.<\/li>\n<li>Plant hard wearing lawns like Kikuyu Whittet, Bermuda (Kweek ) or Dicondra (Wonderlawn).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Resist the impulse to pave the entire area. The runoff is enormous and puts pressure on our rather fragile, ill maintained storm water drainage system. It is far more environmentally friendly to plant grasses or groundcover plants so that rainfall can be absorbed into the ground.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The green, green grass\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21167\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21167\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21167 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-30-01-2026-gardening-sidewalk-gardens-photo-3-400x386.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"386\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21167\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tough: Kikuyu Whittet lawn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A well maintained, healthy lawn is always attractive. Kikuyu Whittet is the most popular, hard wearing lawn for sunny sidewalks. Ideally new lawn is sown in October but in January over-sowing a scraggly lawn with Kikuyu seed can give it a boost.<\/p>\n<p>Advice from Kirchhoffs is to water the existing lawn to moisten the soil. Rake\u00a0 to remove dead or loose grass. Loosen bare areas of soil.<\/p>\n<p>Kikuyu seed is pelleted so it is easy to see where it is sown. Cover with a light layer of soil and gently firm it down so that the seed makes contact with the soil.<\/p>\n<p>Water the area with a sprinkler and keep the lawn moist while the seed germinates, between seven to 14 days. Delay mowing\u00a0 for about a month or until the new grass has grown through and is established.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No mow \u2018lawns\u2019 and groundcovers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kirchhoffs \u2018Wonderlawn\u2019 (Dicondra repens) is not a grass but a low growing ground cover with dark green, small clover like leaves. It is reasonably hard wearing, spreads quickly and forms a dense carpet. It doesn\u2019t need mowing and grows in semi-shade. It also works well in-between pavers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21168\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21168\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21168 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Alice-Coetzee-30-01-2026-gardening-sidewalk-gardens-photo-4-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21168\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">No mow Wonderlawn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Alyssum \u2018Royal Carpet\u2019 (purple), \u2018Snow Carpet\u2019 or \u2018Pastel Shades\u2019 can be planted as a flowering, low\u00a0 maintenance groundcover. Growing it from seed is the best option for larger areas with sun and semi-shade. It germinates quickly and once it is growing needs no more attention, except watering once a week in summer. It lightens areas, adding colour and fragrance.<\/p>\n<p>Portulaca \u2018Daydream\u2019 is a water wise succulent with double flowers in a wide range of bright and pastel shades. It\u00a0 is the ideal flowering groundcover for hot sunny sidewalks.
