The Hard Landscaping

 

 

 

Geoff Whiten’s stunning show garden design at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show utilises a number of hard landscaping products currently being developed by Brett Landscaping and Building Products.

 

The main paving area in the design showcases Brett’s concept block paving, which has been laid in overlapping rectangular areas to give the garden its distinctive modern look.

 

The paving features an exposed layer of quality aggregates to produce a natural and contemporary feel. This attractive finish sits on a base mix of low-cost concrete which is free from pigments and other aesthetically enhancing additives – making the paving extremely environmentally friendly while at the same time strong and durable.

 

Zack Barrett, Brett Landscaping and Building Products’ marketing services manager, says: “Using a product with two different layers of concrete has enormous benefits. By having a bottom layer of eco-friendly, low-cost concrete and a thick surface layer of attractive aggregates and concrete, we can create a beautiful, high-quality finish without the expense. The expensive components are only used in the part of the block that is actually seen.”

 

Brett has used the same production process to create the larger, warm terracotta flag stones used in the garden’s seating area.

 

Adds Zack: “As we continue to develop this production technology, we hope to increase the amount of recycled materials used in our concrete blocks without compromising on the quality of the finish.”
