Incorporating turquoise into hard landscaping…
Including turquoise into your landscape doesn’t have to be limited to planting. With the expert eye of our garden designers, turquoise can be slotted into your outdoor spaces using a number of hard landscaping elements.
Water features, for example, are a simple yet effective way to add a splash of turquoise to your landscape. This beautiful David Harber fountain (shown below) is a superb example, highlighting how turquoise can subtly be introduced and embedded into your design. Paired with moving water, this fountain beautifully demonstrates how turquoise can be used to enhance your garden with tranquility.
Supporting wildlife
A versatile shade, why not dot a series of turquoise birdboxes, insect hotels and hedgehog hides throughout your garden? A bright and vivid colour, turquoise can also be subtly established into your garden due to its blue and green hues. Supporting local ecosystems and biodiversity, this is a fantastic way to help your garden wildlife whilst boosting the aesthetics of your garden at the same time.
