just one pic of show garden at chelsea 2004.
this was really interesting.,
I have many photos of lead up and how we cut stone off site to pre agreed radius for steps,water rill and pond surround but cant work out how to copy from only photos.
this was the first show garden my mate andy sturgeon had been asked to do.
i think it was a massive gamble but he came out with a decent medal and has never looked back.
as it happened he went on to win many golds i think for show gardens and best in show, along with gardening world cup winner in tokyo 2010.
the soak away funnel was the end of road petrol tanker !!!

sorry i posted wrong re funnel.
the end of the petrol tanker was the pond itself.
from bad memory i think it was approx 3.00 mts diameter.
but just look at the colour when sun picks up on it. a great design which i had nothing to do with!!

this is a subterrean pool in private house east sussex.
we were going down approx 7.00 mts i believe. did the stonework in most of house but only posting from ground floor down as this was most interesting.
ordered jerusalem gold light from stoneage for entry and double staircase down to pool.
this was probably the best quality jerusalem light i have ever received.
ordered over size,templated and bullnosed on site by us with portable dewalt water fed router.
first set of stairs set to a very shallow radius to follow curve of wall
at mid level in wine cellar laid brazilian 900 x 600 on floor and builder fixed the slabs for laying bottles.
another level down and we are in to the pool house , which is also used as gym and cinema.
again brazilian green slate for pool surround which was an excellent product.
inside of pool done by pool company finished with chinese green slate. very funky but dont know how this will fare over the years.
