Worked with a great garden designer up in Glasgow called Anne Macfie when I built our new home: (www.annemacfiegardendesign.co.uk). Decided on a more 'contemporary' garden design - probably not to everyone's taste, but we love it.
We went for raised walkways, a patio and composite black decking so that we can use the garden more of the year without having to wade through puddles (we're in sunny Scotland after all)
These photos were taken last year just after planting - the plants have gone mad since and filled in most of the 'gaps'
That is superb. Well done to you, Sir.We went for raised walkways, a patio and composite black decking so that we can use the garden more of the year without having to wade through puddles (we're in sunny Scotland after all)

I'll take a pic of mine later - one hell of a project required....but I've only had it a couple of weeks!

A good garden takes a few years to mature. Choose the wrong plants and you will have to rip them out when they take over.

I like that composite balck decking!! I presume it is plastic, but it looks dead smart. Looking to do a deck area at the moment to house a wrought iron dining set, so the black will go nicely I reckon.....
what type of decking is it??I haven't seen that before where would you buy it from?
It would be ideal for my garden.
Hi folks!
The composite decking is a mix between (recycled?) plastic and wood… it's Twinson decking from Deceuninck comes in a variety of colours, but the black (liquorice) fitted in perfectly with our design. I think B&Q are now doing their own version of it too. It's miles easier to look after than wooden decking - basically give it a jet wash every 12-18 months and it looks as good as new. Much less slippy than wood (especially when wet).
Garden cost was absorbed in the overall house build and the landscapers did all the monoblocking, pathways, external walls, rendering and planting - I think we got a goof deal of work for the cash involved
