This is called the “Cut Flower Garden” and it is designed around a central vase created out of slate. Working closely with the client, we assisted with the design and layout of the project. The colours of the flowers are planted to replicate a rainbow colour wheel. The Fairstone paving in Autumn Bronze harmonises beautifully with the Borders countryside and drystone walling. A great deal of time and care was taken over the cutting of the Fairstone Harena to create the perfect circles, this involved mitring the paving to exact measurements. Tegula Drivesett Harvest was used to provide the decorative edging to all the paths.

Designed by Graeme Steel to replace old gravel, sleepers and concrete slabs and create an outdoor living space for the enjoyment of the clients. We used Fairstone Riven Harena Golden Sand including a new circle feature. Tegula Drivesett Harvest was used for detailing. Products were selected to compliment the sandstone house. Extensive detailed cutting of the sandstone was involved around the new circle feature, the curved edges and the manhole covers. Namgrass artificial lawn installed to create low maintenance grass areas.

Client Testimonial
“Stow Construction recently completed a garden re-construction for us. Working with this company from the quotation process, through design to delivery was excellent. The installation team led by Colin, with Walter and Chris, worked through some terrible weather so all credit to their dedication, craftsmanship and hard work as the finished product is superb. Not the cheapest quote we had but the excellent service and delivery was worth every penny. We are delighted with the finished outcome.”
