EASY WAYS TO ACHIEVE A WONDERFUL WALL

Jeremy Lee, Commercial Director at Bradstone, offers his expert advice on the best ways to add a finishing touch to your garden using a wall.

“Quite often we see people who may have perfected their patio or showcased their green-fingers with a stunning flower bed, but require that final flourish to complete their garden. A feature such as a wall is a great way to successfully add that finishing touch, and also add some height into what otherwise might be quite a flat space.

“Walls often add a sense of shape, structure and style to a garden design, and are often available in finishes to match or complement your existing patio. They can also connect different elements of your garden, by incorporating a seating area, or drawing attention to attractive features such as a built-in brick barbecue or raised herbaceous beds.

“If a garden already has a wall that needs a little TLC, rather than knocking it down and starting again, walling slips are an easy way to make it look like new. Bradstone’s natural stone walling slips simply stick to a block wall using Bradbond walling adhesive, with the Z-shaped slips fitting together to give the appearance of a random look.

“Alternatively, when starting a new wall from scratch, our Easy Stack walling provides a quick, easy and cost-effective solution. The contemporary style hollow walling is extremely versatile. For a dry laid effect, the units can be bonded together with a suitable sealant and filled with concrete to create a stable base for a feature wall. Equally, the product can be installed to form a planter – simply infill with soil to a maximum height of 600mm to create a stunning border for your plants.”
