Bespoke Brick Architecture: Custom-built raised bed planters constructed from 500 Cottage Facing Bricks. Internally waterproofed with Black Jack to ensure absolute structural integrity and prevent moisture bleed. Includes geometric brick pathway detailing linking the planters.
HORTICULTURE & BESPOKE FEATURES
Biological Sub-Base: Excavation of trenches and planters, enriched with jumbo bulk bags of premium topsoil to prime the biological foundation for deep root establishment.
