Over the years, we have had the privilege of providing materials for a range of stunning show gardens

These beautiful spaces showcase the limitless possibilities that our products offer for transforming your garden into a personal oasis. In this blog, we’ll take you on a visual journey through some of these exceptional gardens, offering inspiration and ideas to help you create your dream outdoor space.

Modern elegance with sleek natural stone

Our contemporary paving options have been a favourite among designers, creating chic and elegant garden paths, patios, and terraces. In this show garden, the use of large, smooth Egyptian Limestone paving stones in a neutral palette complements the simple design and feminine planting scheme, perfect for those who love modern aesthetics.

Natural beauty with rustic stones

If you prefer a more rustic, natural look, our range of natural stone products is ideal. This show garden features a charming Antique Yellow Limestone pathway and rill that lead through lush greenery and naturalistic planting. The half honed, brushed and tumbled finish of the stone and the smooth, rounded Scottish cobbles add character and blend seamlessly with the organic elements of the garden, creating a tranquil and inviting atmosphere.

At one with nature

Natural rockery stones can be used in gabion baskets and as stepping stones to create a soft framework for planting that allows nature to thrive. Combine with water and you have the perfect spot for a quiet cup of tea.

Contemporary cooling off zone

Adding a water feature can bring a sense of peace and serenity to your garden. This show garden incorporates a beautiful water feature surrounded by our durable and stylish Natural Black Granite. The gentle sound of flowing water, combined with the contrast of naturalistic planting and contemporary sawn stone, enhances the garden’s ambiance and provides a soothing focal point.

Creative use of garden structures

Garden structures like pergolas, arches, and gazebos can add both functionality and style to your outdoor space. In this show garden, a louvred canopy by Garden House Design creates a shaded retreat, perfect for dining or relaxing. Use climbing plants and hanging lanterns to add a touch of romance.

Memory lane nostalgia

This well-cared-for garden uses traditional Freshfield Lane Pavers for a path and a rustic Purbeck Drystone Walling garden wall. Placed alongside carefully chosen plants, these materials evoke a nostalgia for the past and yet will look good for many years to come.

Gravel garden simplicity

Bring a selection of textures, shapes and colours into your garden by combining natural stone setts and rockery stones alongside decorative stone. This beautiful space at Gardeners’ World Spring Fair pairs hard landscaping with planting to create a striking visual effect, whilst providing a low maintenance space that would suit even the smallest of gardens.

Sustainable design elements

The garden also emphasises sustainability, blending new materials with repurposed items. Scaffold boards, poles, and pallet timber create a rustic charm, while salvaged rainwater harvesters enhance functionality.
