Timber and garden
feature specialists Round Wood of Mayfield recently helped one of their regular
customers triumph in the “People’s Choice Award” at BBC Gardeners World Live.
The East
Sussex-based company provided several striking elements for Conquest Creative’s
garden, which was voted by visitors as most popular in show.
Entitled “Across The
Board,” the stand was presented as an example of an ideal outside space for a
professional, retired couple with grandchildren. It also claimed a silver gilt
award for show judges.
Round Wood helped
Conquest give the stand a contemporary edge with eco-friendly thermo treated
cladding and decking, as well as supplying a striking oak pergola and
children’s swing from their oak framed building workshop.
The garden, which
won for its creativity whilst being “easy to maintain”, making it ideal for its
intended client,
also impressed with its Round Wood-supplied corten steel planters, a
contemporary choice thanks to its deep orange, weathered appearance.
The
multi-functional, low maintenance garden space “ideally suited to a
professional couple who’ve embarked upon early retirement with grown-up
children that have fledged the family nest” also included an outdoor kitchen,
boardwalk and lawn.
Other highlights
included “elements for all seasons” with granite stepping-stones across the
grassed lawn with a reflection pool and a corner sunken seated fire pit.
Ross Conquest of
Conquest Creative Spaces said of Round Wood and its help in winning the BBC
“People’s Choice” garden last month: “Round Wood is a landscaper's hidden gem
for creating something a little special in the garden.
“Their ranges of
tropical hardwoods, oak and Thermory timbers has allowed us to be more creative
with our designs and suit different client budgets and expectations. The
Thermory range [which was used in the BBC Gardeners World Live garden] with its
special clip system is great.
“Round Wood are a
combination of importers and skilled joiners, with a keen eye for garden
life-styling. A great combination for top service and expertise, can't fault
their service over the years and they always deliver with impeccable
reaction times, cheers guys!”
