This landscaping job was planned,designed and constructed for a lady called Maureen. Maureen was unsure of what type of patio she wanted. We discussed and showed her various examples of our previous work. We decided on a circular two ring patio. Maureen's circular patio was built from buff york stone, the path is also buff yorkstone. The area around the patio was gravelled and a new turf lawn laid. The circular patio has been created using Buff York Stone too.

Buff York Stone is ideal for a patio, it has a great colour and texture.The path leading to the patio has been creatively crafted in an offset manner also from buff york stone. The cobble stone along the edge of the patio, beautifully enhances the curve of the path and leads the eye naturally to the circular patio.

Southern gold gravel has been carefully selected to fill in the gaps between the patio stones both on the path and the circular patio, see how it lifts the path and patio form and shape. The Southern gold gravel lifts and enhances the path and patio stone delicately but perfectly.The gravel in the background of this particular circular patio is dark grey pea gravel, again this enhances the curve of the circular patio.

" Dear Andy, I would like to thank you for the wonderful work you did at my house. I love my new patio and lawn. My friends love coming round and admiring my garden while drinking several glasses of wine. It's so relaxing. I can unwind after work now in my garden, which is great. I was really impressed with how neat and tidy you all were. I would never have known you were here apart from my new patio and lawn of course. Thanks again. Kind Regards, "

Steph and Anth were really excited about having their garden landscaped. They both had some great ideas. It was fun to work with them. They wanted us to create a landscape with a difference, something interesting to look at, different from the usual patios or lawns you might see in peoples' gardens. After many chats we decided to lay their patio using sawn purest one sandstone. This is extremely beautiful natural sandstone, it has lustres of pink, peach, cream, browns and light yellow tones running through it, each stone is different to the last. This patio stone has a very romantic look to it; it's soft on the eye.

Steph and Anth asked us to create a romantic garden patio for them. They wanted somewhere to dine together on the summer evenings. They also wanted to access their patio area through a wooden rose covered archway. They even requested a heart shaped retaining wall.

We decided while designing their garden wall to echo the wall shape with the newly turfed lawn, hence the heart shaped lawn.

The retaining walls were constructed in a soft curved 'V' shape - like a love heart - how romantic and in keeping with what Steph and Anth wanted. This heart shaped raised bed has now become a colourful purple heather garden - it's stunning!

A rustic wooden archway was embedded at the edge of the patio. The patio is entered via the wooden archway. Steph is growing a beautiful deep pink climbing rose up and around the wooden archway frame. When the rose is fully established this will be an outstanding feature of their garden.

We added a twist to their patio with a cobbled antique cobble edge. This gives the patio a more graceful feel. We used the same cobbles around the edge of the turf, see how this defines the curvaceous shape of the lawn and ties in the heart theme for Steph and Anth.

We chose Southern gold gravel to lay around the patio to create texture, colour and a definitive heart shape. The gravel perfectly compliments the beautiful sandstone and the newly landscaped garden.

This was a fabulous landscaping project to carry out. Steph and Anth were really interesting, fun people to work with. We really enjoyed the design element of this landscaping project. I'm sure you'll agree it looks beautiful in reality too!
