Martina's Garden

The variety of shades and surface markings, even amongst same-sized slabs, make the Millstone flag particularly authentic-looking and attractive.
A simple pergola will provide semi-shade on hot summer days, just as soon as the wisteria, newly planted against the neighbouring garage wall, "finds its roots". The pergola posts also serve as fence posts (fence not shown) to separate the garden from the shared car driveway. (Thanks to Alison for the photographs) |

The
small
paved seating area,
set at 45 degrees to
the front of the
house, shown here prior to
being closed off
with two fence
panels and a
gateway.
The
slabs chosen were
Stonemarket's honey
gold "Millstone
Flags", pointed
with a proper wet
mortar mix with a
yellow dye additive.
A
timber
"kerb" was
added to give an
unusual finish
to the patio edges
and create a sunken
effect. The kerb was
constructed from
solid lengths of 250
x 125 mm
pressure-treated
softwood, with a
large chamfer to the
upper inner edge.
