This stage of the project shows the polished sandstone paving being laid throughout the site. There are several areas of paving laid in a tudor pattern using three different sizes of slab. It even passes scrtiny by a local duck! The garden was designed by www.postalgardendesign.co.uk and was built by www.wyldlandscapes.co.uk
This is how the steps should be installed, instead of metal edging on the lawn side of the path, we are using smallish boulders to retain the slope near each stone step. This way the slate pieces can vary in their width and it won't look funky with the edging there. I'll post a photo of the finished run of steps and landings on this path when it's done.

Looking at the wall at Tanner Springs Park in Portland, a collaboration between GreenWorks and Atelier Dreiseitl.
Where the notes are, are blue lights with inscriptions and paintings of natural water critters. Notice the difference in the wall color when it moves over the water, with the reflection of the water making a blue cast to the orange-ish wall.
The steel here is a site memory, old rails from the railroad used as a wall.

LUC was appointed by Reigate & Banstead Borough Council to prepare a master plan to initiate the renaissance of Priory Park, a 17th /18th century landscape park in the historic heart of the town, which became a public park in the mid 20th century.
Our approach was to preserve and restore existing remnants of the 18th century landscape whilst reintroducing “lost” features from that period. We also aimed to restore the late 19th century Pleasure Grounds forming the immediate setting for the Priory, to engage contemporary park users.
Using contemporary landscape techniques informed by the park’s history, our scheme delivers a landscape design of exceptional quality where previously there was a tired park with poor facilities. The scheme works with, not against, the existing qualities of the site, clearing away eyesores and restoring elements of delight for 21st century site users. New features include a cafe, large play area, a skate park, sports pitches and extensive drought tolerant planting.
This project, which opened in 2008, is an excellent demonstration of LUC’s sympathetic and intelligent approach to the restoration and redesign of public parks via the use of extensive historic research, public consultation and careful design detailing. LUC also helped with preparation of the Management & Maintenance Plan and the Park was awarded Green Flag status in Summer 2009.

This is a shot of our little front yard. I wanted it to look like some of the gardens in Cambria California do, something of a cross between English country and the seaside. The chair was something I spent ages begging a friend to sell to me and I think it adds a kind of sculptural anchor to that side of the garden. When the kids, (Beau and all of our friends), were little they use to love to climb on it. We had to rebuild it twice so it's a little like that joke about the ax George Washington used to chop down the cherry tree...I bought it from one of the Doheny's. She got it from a film set. Oh Okay... "We've had to replace the handle dozens of times but the blade's only been changed twice."
