If you’re working with a small garden, you might think your options are limited—no boundless lawns, no grand patios, no space for that dream garden room. But with smart design, the right materials, and a few clever tricks, even the tiniest outdoor space can feel luxurious, functional, and surprisingly spacious.
When the new owners of this New Forest property moved in, they knew their garden needed serious attention. What they inherited was a cramped patio with poor-quality concrete slabs, a makeshift path made of Celotex (yes, really!), and an overall space that felt neglected and impractical. Their vision? A stylish, low-maintenance outdoor area they could enjoy every single day—rain or shine.
At Forest Stone, we recently had the pleasure of supplying materials for a stunning Mediterranean-style garden designed and built by the talented team at Smith and Gorman. Located in Southampton, this project is a masterclass in how to blend hard landscaping, natural stone, and drought-tolerant planting to create a space that feels like a holiday retreat.
When it comes to transforming your outdoor space, the right paving can make all the difference. If you’re looking for modern paving that makes a real statement our Newtown 1m x 1m large-format square porcelain tiles will turn your head —these 1 metre square paving tiles are a stunning addition to any garden, patio, or terrace. Designed to bring a contemporary, sleek look to your outdoor areas while offering high durability and ease of maintenance.
When it comes to creating outdoor spaces that blend functionality with modern aesthetics, few projects capture the essence as beautifully as this one. Nestled in the picturesque New Forest, this garden transformation is a collaboration between Neil Jones Garden Design, Aurum Hortis Landscaping, and Forest Stone.
If you’re looking to elevate your outdoor spaces with a touch of timeless elegance, you’re in the right place. We’re please to introduce our stunning new range of clay pavers – a collection that combines durability, beauty, and versatility all in one little skinny brick!
Happy New Year from all of us at Forest Stone! We hope you had a wonderful break and are easing back into the swing of things this month. As we kick off 2025, we’re thrilled to share some exciting updates about the improvements we’ve made and what’s in store for the year ahead.
At Forest Stone, we are thrilled to introduce our latest natural stone wall cladding material, Lymington Coach House Cladding. This premium product brings together timeless charm and modern practicality, making it the perfect choice for projects seeking an upmarket appearance while embracing the beauty of traditional dry stone walling.
In this blog piece we grabbed a chat with Paul Dobson from PD Groundscapes to fine out how he’s been using our Lymington Dune Egyptian Limestone in various formats on this beautiful Tom Hill garden design renovation.
