A visit to London Stone today......

I had the opportunity to visit London Stone's West London showroom this morning for a meeting.

Set within a large Garden Centre environment (and one which I knew well from my youth as an Aquatic Centre), I was genuinely impressed with their site, showroom and the thought that had gone into the display & Reception areas.

 

Professionally greeted in Reception, with chairs, samples & collateral at hand, it was just a class act compared with some locations I know.

I would guess the majority of product range has been used in the wide, open designed outside environment with sympathetic planting to help set the scene.

Time was not on my side, but I would have loved to have seen more, especially how they take the delivered / raw item and produce stock to suit local demands.

The Industry can only benefit from such suppliers with a professional approach and thoroughly recommend visiting their showrooms when you need to source product for interior or exterior paving projects.

I wondered if there is an opportunity for an Landscape Juice Network Open Day for interested Landscape Contractors & Designers (....just an idea....;-) ?

It would be a great way to further understand the array of products, connected topics and ensure the widest business exposure for us all...

    What a great idea to have an open day...I do hope London Stone considers it.
    I'd personally love to see how a great chi=unk of raw stone is converted and processed onto a finely honed slab of step, for example.

"We tried the grin but massively overpriced, the mulching performance no better than our 537HRX HY'S, not tried the Etesia but the HRX gives us the ability to collect when we need to without messing about with mulch plugs or swapping blades"
