greencube garden and landscape design, UK

This newly renovated property in Sevenoaks now has this wonderful garden combining materials that textually contrast. http://greencubelandscapes.co.uk/portfolio/greencube-sevenoaks-detail.html We have included quartz paddlestones for dry stone wall effect, hardwood ipe decking that is used both vertically and horizontally with a detailed wrapped effect around 2 built in benches, porcelain paving and large focal point statement pots. I visited last week and celebrated the garden success with our clients, taking lots of images. A huge thank you goes to our landscapers - Langdale Landscapes and electrician Pete Smitherman PS Electrics, great team effort to create this wonderful space. Myself and Gemma planted the garden and Gemma and her team (our aftercare greencube gardeners) looks after it on a monthly visit. We planted this garden last year and it is already knitting together nicely. garden designed by green...

We are very pleased with our new garden in Sevenoaks, here are a few images of the main terrace and feature statement pots on the quartz paddlestone wall.

But here's a preview, as we are very pleased with it..... quartz paddlestones, statement pots, hardwood decking and cladding.

greencube are loving the quartz paddlestones from CED (stone suppliers) , we have used them as a cobbled paving at Hampton Court Flower show back in July 2010, we have seen them in gabions at RHS Hyde Hall and greencube have now specified them to create a retaining wall on two interlocking large curves, very exciting, very organic and a new use of material! It looks like a modern dry stone wall, very linear in pattern, its tied into a concrete block wall. I'm looking forward to seeing this project completed. It's also great micro habitat, lots of little holes and cracks for beetles, solitary bees and hibernating insects.
