I’m surprised no one has mentioned Romex yet, high quality German jointing compound comes in domestic and industrial grades. Romex rays phone number Phone: 07872 824 010 he's the England Romex rep.
I think there has been a spelling mistake surely Ge…
Hello Giant
Even though this border has a southerly aspect, I would imagine when the two trees come into leaf there will be a fair amount of shade cast. Try to go for bomb proof plants that are hard to kill.
What plant where by Roy Lancaster is a bo…
The grass in the foreground looks like Hordeum jubatum
The blue salvia, Salvia x silvestris may night is my guess
and the achillea with the silvery sheen to the foliage would suggest moonshine
Nice job Stuart I noticed the chap spreading the bonded gravel was not wearing a vapour mask, the last time I did that things started to get a little psychedelic, if you catch my drift.
Here's a small area I did at the end of last year, in a block…

When it comes to resin based jointing comp…

Your thumb may not be green, but I bet your fingers are. The clue is in your post, success with potted plants but some failures in the ground. When you grow a plant in a pot chances are you are growing it in lovely fresh compost, maybe with some slo…
Hello
You could try asking these guys
Hello dgeorgea
Could you maybe coat the balconies with an acrylic sealant, the type used on block paving and patios. Acrylic sealants have come a long way in resent times and with only foot traffic I would imagine a ten year lifespan at least. Seala…
John
Can you not build the steps with concrete blocks. In effect building 4 interlocking boxes of decreasing height on foundations, fill voids with mot type 1 then top off with York stone on mortar beds.
I’m interested how you know the driveways you have seen being installed are not complying to the new SUDS regulations. A permeable or water harvesting type of arrangement is not possible in every situation, and it is quite possible in these situatio…
