Looks like some of the ideas they threw up in the seventies ( and were subsequently ripped up in the eighties)

the workmanship looks superb, would I be right in thinking the border is made up of black limestone cut to size and round coloured pebbles bedded into a cement bed ?

That's right Mick. Somebody with a lot of patience.

I think it looks good. Fits in well with the house and garden. It's a design you don't see anywhere, obviously taken a great deal of care doing the work.

Its a little dark for my liking, but its nice to see someone brave enough to try something different

I've seen that design, or something incredibly similar, somewhere else - at Hampton Court a few years back I think. A little voice in my head is telling me the designer was Gurney Summat, but I could be totally wrong.
If I get time later, I'll have a look through the old photies.....

I really like it and the planting is mature and glossy enough to carry it off although the flag on edge planter on the right is a bit of a let down. It would be interesting to see in normal daylight that photo is taken just before dusk I'm sure it's much brighter when the paving is dry too. I could never find a client with the money to pay for the labour on that although it's a good way of making cheap materials look more expensive.

it shows off someones personality, obviously in the dramatic arts. would like to see the rest of the house. i agree Pablo the flag on edge is a let down. it is, or looks like a very high step. i expect the photo had to be taken early to give the guy,( Christopher Lee) time to get back in his coffin :;): nice piece of work.

I still rate it very highly
someone put their bollox on the line for that one and they cracked it IMHO
