At last spring has sprung

Workload at greencube is busy as always.

We are project monitoring one of our designs in Offham, Kent working alongside landscapers - Creative Landscapes and contractor Pondscapes  on a wonderful garden for an Oast house. Ragstone walls are currently being built including a ragstone cascading water feature. 



This week we are finally planting the Wildernesse Golf Club's courtyard garden. I'm really looking forward to seeing the clubs final transformation turning what was a post war 1950's ugly building and tarmac area into a contemporary, appealing and smart clubhouse.



We are also working with new landscaping company SJB landscaping in North Norfolk on a small courtyard garden, we are very excited about this scheme. Garden construction starts in May for this very unusual bold garden....... watch this space

Meanwhile a small design for landscaping company Langdale Landscapes is coming to fruition.Using tier cladding and porcelain external tiles.




Two further projects are almost complete a garden with knapped flint panels in Seal, an arts and craft house -  designed by greencube and landscaping works by Langdale Landscapes, this garden will have corten pots placed throughout.





Greencube Deliver garden designs for all budgets, here's a low budget garden just about to be constructed for a new build garden in Dunton Green.Quest Landscapes are building this garden and start very soon.

Here's our proposals and how the garden looks currently:

Sculpture in the garden, greencube designs a sculptural ball garden

I'm still out taking photos of all the gardens that have been constructed in the last year and last night I visited our clients in Borough Green, Kent to photograph this garden. We designed the terracing around this very beautiful home and picked up on the existing buff coloured stone detailing that formed the sills and frames around the doors and windows. A complimentary colour  of yellow granite was finally chosen (Yellow Granite paving from CED) and a sculptural border of yellow granite balls (from Rock Unique) underplanted with Ilex crenata balls and Libertia grandiflora. Oak benches and oak arches have also been included and some division of zones created by deck laid flush with granite. This scheme fuses well with the house and setting. I will return in August to take further photos when the garden furniture is in place and hopefully get some night shots, lighting not yet fully completed at time of visit. Greencube planted this garden in two phases, the trees, ro

But my favourite is most definitely the Telegraph Garden

Designed by Cleve West, a magical space with walls retaining at seat level, so wherever you walk you can pause, sit and enjoy, I managed to gain access to Cleve's garden and even had a brief chat with him. I loved it even more once in the space. The star plant at the show for me is most certainly Dianthus cruentus, with its crimson flowers which looked wonderful in amongst the cotswold stone, with its elegant stems and deep red flower. The statuesque columns, the wonderful dry stone walls and planting that had space, looked natural and certainly did not look like it was only planted a week ago!!!! The play with water with the water pipes and channel through the garden with stone stepping stones, all beautifully executed and inspirational.

greencube's garden in Langton Green, near Tunbridge Wells features in Dutch Magazine this month

Our large garden in Langton Green  designed back in 2010 features in a Dutch magazine for April - Groei & Bloei , I had to use google translator to work out what they said: dutch "door efficient gebruik te maken van niveauverschillen ontstaan op een klein oppervlak twee terrassen, gescheiden door een prachtige plantenbak, die tevens dienst doet als regleuning van de zitbank." literally translates to: "through efficient use of level differences arising on a small surface two terraces, separated by a beautiful planter, who also serves as backrest of the sofa." my dutch is not too good! Here are some more photos of this garden:
