The £30 million facility was designed by London architecture firm, Penoyre & Prasad, and built by internationally acclaimed contractor, Balfour Beatty.</p><p>Tobermore’s sparkling <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tobermore.co.uk/professional/products/block-paving/sienna-professional#.VmhIebiLSUk" target="_blank">Sienna</a> in Graphite and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tobermore.co.uk/professional/products/block-paving/sienna-professional#.VmhIebiLSUk" target="_blank">Sienna Duo</a> in Graphite and Silver are installed on the grounds at the state-of-the-art QEII site which was designed by Landscape planning and design consultancy, Macfarlane & Associates. The contemporary style of Tobermore’s Sienna products is the perfect accompaniment to the modern QEII building.</p><p>Sienna is a hard-wearing block paving product with beautiful aesthetic qualities. The granite aggregate surface layer creates a striking look, similar to that of natural granite. The contrasting product colour choice of Graphite and Silver has also helped create a very stylish and unique landscape design.</p><p>The QEII hospital will benefit the local district immensely with the latest technologies and treatment facilities available. The hospital offers an Urgent Care Centre which is open 24 hours a day, general outpatient services, a purpose-built area for children’s outpatient services, diagnostic tests, day treatments procedures, GP out of hour’s services, physiotherapy and rehabilitation units, as well as cancer and ante-natal care services.</p></div>Staff Neededhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/staff-needed2011-05-24T20:30:00.000Z2011-05-24T20:30:00.000ZRICHARD BICKLERhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/RICHARDBICKLER<div><p><strong>Arbour Design & Build are looking for a</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>SOFT/HARD LANDSCAPER</strong><br/> <br/> We are looking to recruit a landscaper with excellent knowledge of landscaping.</p><p> </p><p>You must have the ability to read plans and proven experience in running jobs and liaising with customers.</p><p> </p><p>You need to be competent in foundations/brick & block work,paving,drainage and everything associated with landscaping.</p><p> </p><p>You must hold a clean driver's licence and be 25+ years old for insurance purposes.<br/> <br/> A minimum of 5 years industry experience and knowledge of UK landscaping is essential with check-able references.<br/> <br/> Salary will be dependent upon experience.</p><p> </p><p>We are based in North West London/Hertfordshire</p><p> </p><p>Please send up-to date CV to info@arbourdesign.co.uk or call Richard on 07702011145 for more information.</p><p> </p></div>Garden Design London: A week in the life of a London Based Garden Design and Build Company: Week 9 2011https://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/garden-design-london-a-week-in-22011-03-04T16:35:21.000Z2011-03-04T16:35:21.000ZKatrina Kieffer- Wellshttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/KatrinaKiefferWells<div><p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314207258?profile=original"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314207258?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" class="align-center"/></a></p><ul><li>Claire and Matt have presented a design for a family garden in Hackney.

She works from home and has a garden office at the end of the garden. The garden is split into two levels – the area directly adjoining the house is on one level and the remainder of the garden on another (raised) level. The client recently had an extension built to accommodate a kitchen and this has compromised the usefulness of the small lower section of the space, as there is now not a lot of room for seating. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn and is generally well kept and the client is not particularly keen to change the rest of the space. She does however wish to create a sociable area to accommodate a fair number of visitors. She prefers soft curves to angles and would like something modern and fresh.<p style="text-align: left;"><img width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314111253?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" alt=""/></p><p style="text-align: left;"><img width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314108547?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" alt=""/></p>The main focal point of the garden two semi-circular rendered block raised beds, finished at both ends with built-in circular planters and painted a colour of the client’s choice. The floor surfacing within the arc of each bed will be a 3 metre black limestone paving circle. The left hand raised bed will face directly across the garden, while the right hand raised bed, which will also benefit from an integrated curved bench seat, will be angled so that it faces the corner of the kitchen extension.<p style="text-align: left;"><img width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314105981?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" alt=""/></p>Curved terraced steps, constructed from attractive Yellow Balau hardwood decking and designed to accommodate the change of level in the space, will join the two raised beds. Flooring in the lower section adjoining the house will be in black limestone paving in a random lay pattern. A feature of the lower section of the garden will be a kidney-shaped daybed, also constructed from durable Yellow Balau decking. Three tall tapered fibreglass planters lined along the side wall, over which three printed weatherproof canvas will be displayed, will add further interest and colour to the space.<p style="text-align: left;"><img width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314114075?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" alt=""/></p>A curved path, laid with black limestone paving, will arc up the garden, bisecting a large area of Yellow Balau decking to the right and an oval lawn to the left, to terminate in a third 3m diameter black limestone circle in front of the existing summer house in the top left corner of the space. Bespoke decorative screens, comprising large rusted mesh panels on timber posts, installed towards the end of the path will add height and screening to the end of the garden.<p style="text-align:
