where's greencube working?

 in Faversham, Sevenoaks, Leigh, Speldhurst, Brentwood, Erith, Petham and Reigate

We are just about to tender for a lovely garden in Faversham. A mix of slate with stone resin frame and decking with duck egg accent colours added, a vegetable plot and 3 zones to chill out and enjoy the sunshine.

We have just tendered for a garden in Reigate that we designed late last year. A garden that has had a very large extension with open plan kitchen/family room and large windows facing the rear garden. The new terrace will have porcelain tiles running from kitchen out to the garden terrace and will be retained by a wonderful textural sandstone wall. The continuous porcelain floor from the kitchen to the terrace will create a smooth transition and when the glass doors are rolled back it will be hard to define indoors from out.



Work has just started on a garden in Sevenoaks with pond and ragstone wall being built by Creative Landscapes and project monitored by greencube. Looking forward to seeing this completed. I'm just off to check progress today and this is what I photographed. A slate capping will be placed on the rag wall.




I have delivered designs for gardens in Brentwood, Erith and Sevenoaks in the last few weeks and am now working on a large scheme requiring planning permission in Petham, Canterbury.

Quest Landscapes are just finishing up on our design for a difficult sloped garden in Sevenoaks.

We are also working with Langdale Landscapes on a large barn garden in Leigh, Kent, construction to start in the next month.

Planting is now booked in for 2 gardens in Sevenoaks and Reigate. Gemma finished planting this week, a large front garden in Sevenoaks, I'm looking forward to photographing this one, Langdale Landscapes have done a superb job with the hardscapes, very pleased, resin bound drive to go down in the next few weeks.

Planning permission has been applied for, for a small garden, courtyard and drive for an Oast House in a conservation area in Speldhurst, nr Tunbridge Wells.

Exciting news, we have been asked to team up with Offset Architects to enter a RIBA competition for a new public community centre in Sevenoaks.

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:
