Monochrome appeal with Long Rake Spar chippings Long Rake Spar has donated its premium 14mm Silver Grey Granite to the Hortus non Conculus garden exhibit at Tate Britain, designed by Rosie Irving and co-designer Antonia Young. Silver Grey Granite chippings were chosen because of their white and black flecked colouring which emphasised the monochromatic design that Rosie created, as well the texture it provided in contrast to the smooth cast limestone planters from Haddonstone.The aggregate was placed in a floor stabilisation system, supplied by Kinley Systems, to ensure the gravel stayed within the design and was easy for visitors to walk on. Hortus non Conculus will remain in-situ until 2nd September 2015.

Hauraton RECYFIX GREEN STANDARD improves surface drainage The Hauraton RECYFIX GREEN STANDARD surface reinforcement grid system was used extensively in the grassed pathways, where a high footfall was expected, and the grassed areas surrounding Banovallum School, Horncastle. Once installed, the RECYFIX GREEN modules were discreet, yet provided a permanent surface reinforcement to the grassed areas with a loading capacity of 200 tonne/m².The pathways and area to be grassed were excavated, covered with a granular sub-base, a layer of sharp sand applied and then rolled. The RECYFIX GREEN modules were then secured on top of the rolled surface and their apertures filled with top soil which was compacted then grass seeded. *
