Garden Landscaping with Clay Pavers and Oak Pergolas

Located at the back of this significantly sloped garden the clients wanted to make this space a place to entertain. After Karl’s initial site survey, it was clear the materials here needed to be natural, simple and dog friendly. Karl put together a concept design and material sample pallet. The clients loved the colour and texture of the Vanda Moortel pavers. Karl recommended these because they’re handmade and have a fantastic natural finish. These would be finished with a 6mm border of galvanized steel; we coated this to match the metal window and door frames of the house. We paired the pavers with a bespoke 150x150mm Oak pergola. We chose to leave this untreated so it would naturally silver/ grey over time. Timber in this situation will normally take approximately a year to go grey. Timber weathering varies depending on location and exposure. If in a hurry, we can treat timber so it already looks aged when installed.
