see greencube in modern gardens magazine this month

See us in this month's Modern Gardens magazine, a new national magazine, they interviewed one of our clients and here's the article. An article about 'HOW TO USE A GARDEN DESIGNER' Clients words: "I went online and Mandy Buckland and Greencube jumped out. Her style was exactly what I was looking for but I wasn't sure I could afford her. I explained what I wanted and that my budget was limited and she came to look round. She was approachable and listened to my ideas. She managed the project, sourced the materials, co-ordinated the hard landscape team and di the planting. My wow factor garden is worth the investment and shows that everyone can aspire to their dream, irrespective of budget."

Here's one of our garden designs enjoying its second summer, a garden designed for a couple in Speldhurst who have had a wonderful baufritz house installed. A german kit home. We worked closely with the clients and created a very modern garden with decking and granite with feature walls and textural gabion retaining walls. A simple pared back planting design to create softness within the strong geometric layout. A stunning house now has a wonderful garden. house designed by baufritz, garden design greencube, garden planted by greencube, hardscapes project managed by robert middleton

greencube works alongside german architects - Baufritz    New Home in Speldhurst, Kent   we were planting last week in our clients garden in Speldhurst, a baufritz house made in Germany. The house was delivered on a few articulated lorries and slotted together with precision. We have really enjoyed working with our clients on this amazing modern project. We worked closely with the baufritz architects and project manager on the submissions to the planning office, gaining planning permission for the hard and soft landscaping. We have been on hand throughout the project offering advice and support to ensure the landscaping project is delivered successfully.  We took delivery of some midi panels of Hornbeam creating an instant hedge and generous green belt around the lower level and rendered wall. We have created a minimalistic planting scheme here with clipped evergreen ilex to form instant cubes, balls of pittosporum, mixed with Panicum and Miscanthus grass...

Garden Design with Swimming Pools

We have recently been designing two gardens that include swimming pools: Our first garden with an existing swimming pool (in Bromley Kent) with two roman ends is having 'a makeover ', here we have created 3 zones, all stone work will be replaced with bullnose capping around pool and retaining walls, this is very bespoke work and we are working closely with Rock Unique - stone suppliers. We are using a lovely creamy granite that is hard wearing and works with the house and context. other gardens we have designed around pools: http://greencubelandscapes.co.uk/portfolio/portfoliogodalming.html  Our second design is for a new build property in Essex with a large garden. My aim here is to take the newness and sterile blank canvas away and soften with division of terraces, careful selection of materials and creating a number of zones and different levels. This garden has a really lovely flow and journey through the spaces with strong division created by a chang...
