Wall cladding. David Domoney examines the latest garden landscaping product 'in vogue' with garden designers this year.

A good look at garden walling for landscaping projects, including stone and porcelain cladding

 

There are lots of ways to incorporate stone walling and porcelain paving into your garden. They create a seamless, sophisticated appearance that lasts for years.  
Pavestone have a wide variety of options, depending on the vision you have for your garden. Whether you’re after a modern look, natural appearance, or somewhere in between, Pavestone have what you need to make your vision a reality.

Stylish & Contemporary

Take a look at this Pavestone garden, for example. More contemporary in style, it boasts clean stone shades that contrast each other beautifully. From cool, stony greys that soak up sunlight, warmer contrasting terracotta paving, to moody, darker cladding.

Cosy Compartments

The darker areas of the black and sepia cladding on the half-walls that encase the garden beds, and form the edge of the seated area, work to create a certain depth to the space. This promotes cosiness in and around the seating area. Whether you want to kick back with your book, chat to friends and family, or sip on a homemade cocktail, it’s guaranteed to make the perfect, intimate retreat for long summer days.

 

Pavestone’s Porcelain Paving is the perfect choice for a seated area like this not just because it looks great, but because it’s practical, too.

 

Easy clean porcelain

Pavestone’s Porcelain Paving is the perfect choice for a seated area like this not just because it looks great, but because it’s practical, too.  
Not only is it durable with a high anti-slip rating, but it’s stain-resistant, too! So, any marks made when moving yourself or furniture to and from the garden will be quick and easy to clean up. Plus, the stone will return to its pristine stone shade of Dolomite Moon. It’s also frost resistant, which comes in handy for the UK and our unpredictable, ever-changing weather!

Creating Harmony

You can also, as this garden proves, use the Dolomite porcelain paving for more than just flooring. It’s the perfect stone for the top of your walls, if you want to create a slick, clean edge to a garden bed area. And when this stone matches the floor paving, you can create an unexpected yet unbeatable natural harmony in a garden, comprised of a range of different textures and shades!

This helps to define the perfect balance of contemporary and natural in your garden.
