Straightcurve – A Cornish Case Study

Date:

The Straightcurve®team know that there is nothing quite like a case study to whet the appetite of not just professional landscapers, but also budding home garden designers! 

Cornish Front Garden MakeoverProducts used: Straightcurve 240mm Rigidline + Fixed Height Line 400mm
The garden of this lovely Cornish cottage felt cramped due to the sloping path and walls on either side, leading up to the front door (see image below).  

The client wanted to utilise the sunny aspect at the front of the house and create a place to sit but didn’t want to feel exposed to the lane below and the surrounding houses.

The contractor, Mid Cornwall Landscaping Ltd, decided to create a small sunken paved area close to the house giving privacy and making it a place to enjoy the surrounding plants and the sun. The materials were chosen to complement the yellows and rusty reds and browns of Cornish Stonework in the house and the existing walls. The Limestone paving was laid with wide joints filled with Limestone chippings to allow for creeping plants to be planted and soften the edges.

Why did the contractor choose Straightcurve® for this project? The steel edging was chosen to give a contemporary feel to the project but complementing the colours in the paving and walling, the steel was used to form the risers of the steps to the sunken paved area, the steel was also chosen as it offered a space-saving option because the steps could be formed without encroaching on the surrounding path.


No fuss with Straightcurve …the simple yet effective garden edging solution!
