Four Functional Finishing Touches For Your Garden

Want to make mowing your lawn that little bit easier, divide areas of your garden or simply stop people parking on your driveway?

We have an extensive range of stylish and hard-wearing cast stone garden finishing touches that offer the perfect solution.

Here’s our top four functional finishing touches for your garden or outside space.

  • Arcadian Straight Lawn Edging - Pack of 20

1. Lawn Edging

Lawn edging provides many benefits when designing or enhancing a garden.  As well as providing a sharp, clean appearance to lawns and outdoor spaces, stone lawn edging can also make mowing your lawn much easier.

Stone lawn edging acts as a useful boundary between grassed areas and borders or pathways, which is especially helpful if you have a long garden with a lot of lawn to keep on top of!

Long gardens can also benefit from stone lawn edging’s ability to effortlessly divide sections of your garden into interesting, individual spaces.  This can prevent elongated gardens from looking too long and thin.

Cast stone lawn edging can be either simple in style, or highly decorative, depending on what type of aesthetic you hope to achieve.

2. Cast Stone Balls

Cast stone balls are incredibly versatile and are very often chosen as stylish wall dressings.  Used as decorative finials to enhance gate piers, driveways or wall copings, the simplicity means they suit almost any style of garden and property exterior.

Cast stone balls are also perfect for lining pathways and driveways –  adding elegance to your lawns.

Placed along a linear verge, walkway or driveway, cast stone balls finials add structure as well as preventing drivers from parking where you don’t want them to.

Or alternatively, you can simply place single or groups of cast stone balls in your garden borders or on your lawns.  It’s amazing what a difference placing a few of these globe-like balls to your garden setting can achieve.  Team with topiary and box hedging for a smart, sophisticated look.

3. Cast Stone Bollards

There are few things as irritating to the proud property owner than drivers parking on your perfectly-tended lawn.

Cast stone bollards are one of the best ways to politely (and stylishly) prevent this from happening.  Placed along verges and driveways, they really do offer an effortless solution.

Traditional bollard styles can be used in any outside setting with or without connecting chains.  Our traditional bollard, for example, with fir cone finial is both attractive and functional.

Modern styles of bollards can suit contemporary gardens, hotels, spas and landscapes.  And, with a choice of beautiful colours to choose from, our two modern bollard designs are versatile enough for any taste.

4. Cast Stone Staddle Stones

Staddle stones offer a charming addition to any garden or driveway.  Dating back to the 17th century, they were originally used by Cotswold farmers.  These intriguing mushroom-like stones were used as foundational supports to elevate granaries away from vermin and water.

These days they are as functional as they are pleasing to look at.  Whilst staddle stones are indeed still used as an architectural feature to support timber or oak posts, they are more often used as a decorative garden feature.

The simple staddle stone is as popular as it is practical.  Many of our clients line their driveways with a number of staddle stones to deter vehicles from driving on, or parking along their lawns and verges.

Over time, staddle stones will weather and integrate with their surroundings.  Plus, as they’re made from the highest-quality cast stone material, they are frost-proof , hard-wearing and will last for many years.

Stepping Stones

Stepping stones are an appealing way to add a unique touch to your garden or landscape.

Whether you wish to use them practically, as a means to literally step from one place to another within your garden setting, or simply to add a charming finishing touch, stepping stones offer solutions to both.

Available in traditional knotted or woven designs, our stepping stones can be combined with our Celtic Discs and also complement our Celtic Edging.
