Proud to say that I was involved with supply of Westmorland Green Rip Rap and Armour Stone, architectural offcuts and walling stone for this amazing garden put together by Peter Tinsley & Sons Landscapes for the Southport Flower Show. Peters garden caught the eye of not only the judges but most of the other landscapers as well, rightly winning a Large Gold and the prestigious Challenge Trophy, an outstanding achievement for an outstanding garden. His attention to detail is second to none, this can be seen by the positioning of the rockery down the stream edges to generate the swirls in the flow of the water. Special mention to Massams Supplies Ltd for sponsoring the supply of the stone to Peter, Steve's commitment to the Flower Show is on another level. Burlington Aggregates Ltd Burlington Stone

Summer has officially arrived, according to the calendar! And it’s the time of year when outdoor space comes to the forefront of our mind, whether it’s our own garden or place of work, we all start imagining the possibilities that lie in the outdoor space that surrounds us. Amongst many other clever landscaping ideas that were on show at RHS Chelsea Flower Show this year, were decorative aggregates. Not least in the Silver Gilt and Best Construction winning Boodles garden designed by Catherine MacDonald of Landform Consultants Ltd. The beauty of decorative aggregates, unlike some of the more complex installations on show at Chelsea, is that they are easy to lay and can completely transform an area from undesirable to chic, sophisticated and inviting within a few hours. When it comes to sustainability, one would be hard pushed to find a better product with Burlington’s aggregates forming deep within the Cumbrian Fells some 400 million years ago. From a simple garden border to a municipal recreation area, our extensive range of products can reincarnate a little piece of Cumbrian heritage into any outdoor oasis.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024 has closed for another year and are absolutely delighted to announce that the ‘Best Construction’ award has gone to Catherine MacDonald and Landform Consultants Ltd UK for her Boodles Portrait Gallery garden. On the back of the Silver Gilt award, the coveted ‘Best Construction’ is further recognition of the success of this year’s garden and huge kudos to Holker Group Burlington Stone as it is awarded based on the quality, fabrication and installation of materials used. Broughton Moor green slate was one of the two key hard landscaping materials used in the garden along with the striking water features and garden arches produced by Hot Metal Engineering. Both were installed with the utmost precision and care by Gadd Brothers Trees and Landscapes. The award recognises, again, how Catherine has not only designed an inspired and beautifully creative garden but has also chosen the highest quality materials, fabricators and installers. Richard Page, Director at Burlington Stone said of the dual award, "I am delighted for everyone involved in the project. The reaction to the garden has been amazing, it makes me incredibly proud to hear the positive comments about the beautiful Broughton Moor paving and features crafted by the team at Burlington". The level of detail in Catherine’s design is truly spectacular and you can learn in more detail in the link below as designer Catherine explains the inspiration for the garden which celebrates the 200 year anniversary of the Portrait gallery, and hones in on two iconic art movements, impressionism and pointillism. https://lnkd.in/exnmimyq #Boodles #BoodlesGarden #NationalGallery #GaddBrothers #Landform #LandformConsultants #RHSChelsea2024 #RHSChelseaFlowerShow2024 #RHSChelsea #GardenDesign #GardenDesigner #LandscapeContractor

A proud moment for the Burlington team; the centre piece for this year's RHS 2024 Chelsea Flower Show, Boodles garden, standing proud for the first time. This sizeable piece of Westmorland Green slate has been on quite a journey; from our Broughton Moor quarry into the meticulous engineering of the design studio to the curated perfection of the finishing room. This mighty piece of slate, as with every material we work with, is perfected by multiple skilled craftsmen, all of whom execute their specialism with care and attention. We are synonymous for our roofing and cladding, but also excel with the creative challenge of complex residential and commercial landscaping features. From monoliths and feature stones to pools and water features. You don’t need to wait until Chelsea opens in six days, you can view some of our stunning garden landscaping projects on our website at https://lnkd.in/ewkd_De Designer: Catherine MacDonald of Landform Consultants Ltd Sponsor: Boodles Partner: National Gallery Landscape Contractor: Gadd Brothers Trees and Landscapes #Boodles #BoodlesGarden #NationalGallery #GaddBrothers #Landform #LandformConsultants #RHSChelsea2024 #RHSChelseaFlowerShow2024 #RHSChelsea #GardenDesign #GardenDesigner #LandscapeContractor #paintings #Impressionistic #Impressionism #PaintingWithFlowers #PaintingWithPlants #gardensofjoy #BringJoy #ColourfulFlowers #ArtInNature #NatureInArt #Topiary

We promised RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024 updates and here is the latest! Last Friday we carefully packed up months worth of planning, design and craftsmanship. The Burlingtonstone wagon was ready and bound for Chelsea. Catherine MacDonald from Landform Consultants Ltd was onsite with the team from Gadd Brothers Trees and Landscapes ready to safely receive the delivery of beautiful Broughton Moor Slate she has carefully curated into the design of her Boodles and National Gallery garden. The Gadd Brothers Trees and Landscapes team got straight to work unloading and moving the key feature stone into situ, ready for the soft landscaping to be developed around it over the next three weeks. A fantastic example of team work, from production and delivery to installation. #Boodles #BoodlesGarden #NationalGallery #GaddBrothers #Landform #LandformConsultants #RHSChelsea2024 #RHSChelseaFlowerShow2024 #RHSChelsea #GardenDesign #GardenDesigner #LandscapeContractor #FineJewellery #JewelleryDesign #BritishJewellery #NationalGallery #ArtHistory #pointilism #pointilist #JewelColours #PaintingWithFlowers #PaintingWithPlants #gardensofjoy #BringJoy #ColourfulFlowers #ArtInNature #NatureInArt #Topiary
