Mr. Barbour, Ian, from Guisborough, Cleveland, Teesside wanted to update his tired, dated looking garden landscape. After a consultation with Green Onion Landscaping , where we looked through various samples of patio stones and many different types of water features, Mr & Mrs Barbour decided to opt for Desert Sandstone for their patio area and a contemporary Granite Water Feature.
Green Onion Landscaping also constructed a small wall and steps from split faced buff bricks and the desert sandstone. Plum coloured slate was chosen for around the water feature and coloured pebbles, these look great when wet and dry. We also decided to opt for some rustic cobbled edging around the water feature just to further enhance it and draw the eye to it from a distance.
The design of the patio area was fairly straight forward. Ian had decided he wanted to keep the original cobble edging that had been round his existing patio. Green Onion Landscaping laid the patio within this existing cobbled edge shape. We like to use various cuts and sizes of dessert sandstone within patios we construct. The differing sizes make the patio more attractive and interesting than using the same sizes over and over again. Dessert sand stone is a beautiful patio stone and lends itself well to being placed like this. This particular sand stone is yellow and peachy/pink tones. There are also fossils within the sand stone giving it an interesting and unusual appearance. Sandstone is a very pretty patio stone, has a smooth texture and a soft, pleasing appearance to the eye.
“Thank you so much for our new garden Andy. The patio, wall, steps and water feature have made such a dramatic difference to ours of the garden. We would highly recommend you and your team to our friends any day. We were impressed with the speed Green Onion Landscaping worked, your attention to detail and how helpful and caring you all were. Thanks again.”
Mr. & Mrs Barbour – Guisborough, Cleveland, Teesside.
