Hi Joy, We've used a combination of Mandarin Stone's Dijon and Milan tumbled limestone https://www.mandarinstone.com/product/milan-tumbled-limestone/ . If you paste the photo to an email to Sam Small for reference Sam.Small@mandarinstone.com he'll give you more info. Good luck

Hello donned2004, Well you could remove all the things from the hearth.. So it has more space.. Hang the mirror and paint the chimney breast a nice colour to bring the fireplace into full focus.. If you wanted to have an even bigger recess.. you could open the fire out up to the sides of the wooden surround.. So taking out the 30's tiles.. Make sure the lintel is in place or doesn't need replacing and keep the surround it's rather nice.. Remove the current tiled hearth if you chose to open it out more.. and install a flat piece of slate.. So then you would have an open brick recess and a lovely iron basket could sit nicely inside for logs! Another idea to continue into the room.. might be to look at painting the woodwork a colour to compliment any wall colours you have.... Some lovely painted floorboards, or parquet or a natural Jute or Coir flooring if you have not already decided upon something.. : ))

The aspect is very important for a thin section of a garden. Like Pat Oliver I too would ask whether or not you use the gravel section for parking a car and agree that you also need to think about how it joins the rest of the garden. I understand that you get the sun in this area late afternoon/early evening and is a "sun trap". If you want to add some shelter you could add a pergola along a section of the site and grow some evergreen climbers, scented roses, jasmine and clematis. You could then add some seating or a dining set under the pergola for a late night meal with friends. If you plan to keep the paving slabs then think about furniture and pots that are of a similar tone to tie the area together and then use some white ones as accents to tie the area again to the house. If you remove the slabs then a gravel garden is a great idea, but you could also use composite decking boards and raise the area so that you come out of the door at the same level, and then have some steps down to the rest of the garden. Also think about setting the garden at an angle across the site, as this helps from a design point of view and results in you getting more items in to the area. Draw the area on to a piece of paper and have fun with shapes. If it is such a sun trap think about sun loving plants that are suited to arid conditions, that is why a gravel garden is such a good idea. I hope this helps. If you have any questions please get in touch. All the best and enjoy your garden. Mark

Layout in front of Shed

Hi Rachel. Yes, Limestone chips in between. I've moved the slabs further away to give more space from the shed as they were too close before. Than you very much for your ideas re: the path etc. Will definitely work on those ideas including the patio sticking out further. The only issue with your plan it the path on right wouldn't work arcing that way as teh 'entrance' to the garden is more towards the middle (where you see the small sleeper acting as a step) - please see pics for what I mean. It would work the opposite way so the middle bit is touching the fence (or any alternative ideas?). :)

Design tool for paving ?

So in absence of anything concrete, I did it in Photoshop - made one canvas, slightly larger than the size I needed for the patio to allow for cuts and marked the actual size with guides. Then created different canvases for each size stone in different colours and copied and pasted onto the the canvas of the area I needed. Duplicated those layers as and when I needed them to create the final pattern. Easy then to count how many I needed of each size. Hope that might help someone.
