The timber used on site is pressure treated softwood

Pressure treated softwood is timber that has been impregnated with a waterborne preservative under controlled conditions in a vacuum pressure plant. The treatment process forces the preservative deep into the timber where it becomes fixed to the structure of the timber and very resistant to leaching. This process leaves the timber with a pale green colour which will fade with time. The preservative treated process is variable in accordance with the end use of the product thus can be used inside & out and gives long term protection against fungal and insect attack.

Please note samples of  all wood will be provided before projects commence.

Ponds are lined with obviously the best liner being Butylite.

BUTYLITE is a premium, synthetic rubber pond liner recommended by leading European water gardening experts. It has been field tested for more than forty years in hundreds of thousands of installations throughout the world, varying in size from 25sq. ft garden ponds to 4,000,000sq. ft water storage reservoirs. It is remarkably flexible and comfortable, it is safe for all aquatic life, it withstands exposure to artic cold and desert heat, and it will last longer than any other flexible liner underwater and underground. Although BUTYLITE costs more than other synthetic rubbers, it has superior performance combined with an unlimited range of sizes and shapes which easily makes it the liner of choice for projects of any size that demand the very best liner available.

Formulation

BUTYLITE is fabricated from a unique BUTYLITE rubber formulation optimised for pond liner use. It differs from other Butyl rubbers commonly used for commercial waterproofing in four important ways. It is completely safe for fish, plants and plant life, it contains some traces of polymer for superior durability in exposed applications, it has a talc free surface for easy handling and attractive appearance, and can be factory seamed with a high strength hot bonding process.

Thickness

BUTYLITE liners are available in .75mm and 1mm thicknesses. Irregular free form garden ponds, particularly those smaller than 1,500 sq. ft, should be lined with .75mm BUTYLITE: no other pond liner is more subtle or elastic and none can be installed with so few folds. Larger projects should be lined with 1mm BUTYLITE for enhanced resistance to abuse since the thicker sheet offers significantly greater strength with only a little loss of flexibility.

Plants

The demand for architectural plants has been steadily increasing over the past ten years and they are now enjoying a massive wave of popularity that shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, this type of gardening is the fastest growing area of horticultural, as more and more gardeners realise, often with great relief, that there is an alternative to herbaceous borders and rose bushes.

We try our utmost best to supply the best mature exotic specimens to enhance that architectural tropical effect. All plants are chosen for low maintenance and all year green foliage.
