Oak seat and slate paving

Here's a finished outdoor seat made in seasoned oak with steel supports and underplanted with Thyme, Erigeron and Hakonechloa. The upright green oak sleepers behind serves as a raised planter as well as a back rest. It offers a really lovely bench that's softened by the planting, designed for my Mum, I visited last week to deliver their bulbs, they are looking after it very well. garden design - greencube planting - greencube hardscapes construction - quest landscapes The shed has been painted the same colour as the arches, the fence has been painted with black ash which in time as the plants establish will fade into the background making the plants look brighter.
