Beyond the expected greenery, flora and soil, the relatively grey materials of concrete and paving can be utilised to add genuine aesthetic appeal to any garden, no matter how large or small. There are also few green areas, whether private, residential or commercial, that wouldn’t benefit from a feature using rock or stone.

Every La Menara landscaping project is built with an important focus on innovation and applying our strong eco-friendly ethos. Concrete and paving are materials that are not only kind to the environment but are so adaptable for use that they apply themselves perfectly to inventive ideas. In addition, they are practical and hard wearing, perfect for building driveways that require immense strength, as well as walkways prepared to welcome an immense amount of foot traffic.

 

 

Concrete is a high strength substance generally known for its durability and use within more industrial type settings. Its robust nature ensures it is perfect for areas of a property that need to withstand and support heavy vehicles. However, this composite of water, aggregate and cement can also be formed into more delicate features, such as a water fountain that will add elegance and beauty to a home.

Paving is the perfect way to bring additional colour and shape to any external space of a property or community development. As colour choice and textures are numerous, and the size options of a pavestone literally infinitesimal, a pathway or patio can always be original and built to work harmoniously within any setting.

 

 

Use of concrete within landscape gardening:

• Furniture: seating areas in styles ranging from a traditional Andalusian bench to a Bauhaus chair
• Features: eye catching modern sculptures or calming ornate water fountains
• Flower beds & Planters: beautifully presented plants and flowers
• Facilities: hardwearing driveways and carports

The positives of paving within landscape gardening:

• Versatility: paving can be cut down to fit any space or to create amazing patterns
• Variety: endless variations are possible using different stone types, the size used and a mix of different finishes
• Originality: every design can be different and original
• Recycling: reuse discarded materials from stone yards to create new structures at a low cost
