sorry for such a late reply - the fire pit is not my design - oopps very naughty I should have referenced the designer - David Coleman Architects http://gardenbeet.wordpress.com/2010/05/20/bbq-garden-accessories-are-integrated-david-coleman-architec…
That is gorgeous Felicity, is it your design/installation? Off subject sorry!
also the suken BBQ - what about digging a hole below the pavers and have supported decking - it would need to be a large area - also need fire retardant on decking here is an example
Hi Jill - what about woolly pocket wall planters -can secure to any wall or fence easily - most container plants are suitable - here is a picture
more details at http://www.gardenbeet.com/vertical-garden.html
I'm thinking about a similar thing at moment - will build the fire pit underground in stone (keep some heat hopefully) and then get a cover made to fit locally.
Quite a few mirrors available and work well outside.
I've created planting pockets in…
how big a fire pit and lid?
if it only needs to be small could you not use a cheap bbq with the legs removed?
"Help-l cannot seem to find a fire pit with a cover that would be level with paving-any ideas"
Desighn something and get a local fabrication firm or agricultural einginer to make it, probably end up cheaper than something off the shelf.
Not much to suggest except that acrylic mirror is much lighter and cheaper than glass.

Dear Jill,
I am writing to inform you of my landscaping business, Frensham Landscapes, which may be of interest to you.
I have been working regularly around Surrey and Hampshire providing landscaping services to those who wish to renovate outdoor gardens and spaces. This has included hard landscaping such as patio areas, in addition to soft landscaping such as the laying of turf and hedge cutting.
I have gained valuable experience over the past few years; two of these spent in the South of France actively helping to renovate eighteenth Century barns into modern apartments. On return I worked for eighteen months for a successful local building firm in Farnham.
After acquiring ample experience in this field, I decided to become self-employed, using the expertise that I have gained to work under the name of Frensham Landscapes.
I recently undertook a full-time course at Merrist Wood in which I gained a National Certificate in Landscape Construction and Horticulture which I passed with merit, a valuable experience which highlighted my natural aptitude for creativity, and a passion for turning my own ideas from paper into practice.
I have successfully completed a number of developments, and am currently involved in a few other projects, including patios, a church memorial garden and perimeter fencing.
I am currently looking for opportunities to be subcontracted, so if you believe my services could be of any benefit to you, please contact me and I would be happy meet to discuss possibilities for the future.
If you require, I can provide you with my portfolio of private work I have done as well as many references from completed jobs.
Yours faithfully,
Edward Verity

Very quiet this end-fingers crossed! I will willingly keep your details and would be grateful if you could help with design leads-from a small back yard to a major makeover. Have a look at my website. www.little-havens.co.uk Hope things pick up soon.
Kind regards
Jill
