And the result...
Laying the concrete footpaths
Shaping the lake using our long reach excavator
Installation of the Firestone EPDM membrane

Visitors get the first glimpse of the finished internal landscape
As an edge detail we fabricated and installed vertical green oak timber cladding, held in place with steel brackets. You can see the top of the cladding here as well as the excellent reflecting qualities the lake provides
The waterfall inside the glasshouse provides an attractive focal point. The water is filtered and recirculated from the reservoir pool below. The path allows visitors to walk beneath the waterfall and look out through the water
HRH The Queen officially opened The Glasshouse in June. Here she is walking past the waterfall
This project is now drawing to a close and you can see from the photo below that the finished article is as spectacular from the outside as it is on the inside. To find out more about The Glasshouse, including opening times, visit the RHS website
