LANDSCAPING & EXTERNAL WORKS 63
One of the UK’s most biodiverse developments, with 50% open green space and parkland, the hard landscaping design at The Green Quarter needed to tie in with the vibrant nature of the area. A functional yet aesthetically pleasing solution was required, ensuring commuter-friendly paving options. Tobermore worked closely with architects,
Applied Landscape Design and groundworker Kings Landscapes throughout the design process.
They provided complimentary
paving visualisations, bespoke sample panels and laying patterns – services which all form part of Create & Construct. This provided confi dence in the fi nal product selection, and Artro block paving was laid in an interesting fi ve-way colour mix of Heather, Bracken, Autumn, Slate and Carbon in a trendy herringbone pattern. Other pedestrianised zones feature Artro in warm clay-like tones of Heather and Autumn in a stretcher bond laying pattern. Artro’s ability to create unique design patterns by seamlessly blending various colour tones adds originality and personality to the scheme.
Creating valuable space with retaining walls
Sloping sites can be problematic for hospitality operations such as John O’Gaunt Golf Club, which wanted to create a new outdoor seating area beside the clubhouse. The project architect had specifi ed a single gabion wall to retain the expanded patio area. Keen to look at alternatives, the management team consulted Tobermore’s experts about the Secura mortarless retaining wall system. As part of the Create & Construct service, Tobermore offers a range of services to
The Old Brewery in Salisbury
support Secura products,
ranging from
retaining wall design and materials and labour pricing tools through the Secura Portal to toolbox talks on installation best practice. To address both functionality and visual
appeal, Tobermore’s retaining wall team proposed a tiered retaining wall approach using the Secura Grand retaining wall system in Bracken. This created space for a more expansive patio area. For the main patio surface, Mayfair slabs in Silver, along with Sienna Setts in Silver, were recommended, adding a sleek granite aggregate fi nish that enhanced the overall modern feel of the space. “Tobermore’s team played a pivotal role, not only transforming the initial concept into a fully realised design but also guiding us through the process,” said Gordon MacLeod, General Manager, John O’Gaunt Golf Club.
