London Docklands showcase for hard landscaping
A
Pomery Natural Stone product story

Pomery Natural Stone has been the lead supplier of hard materials, working with Thompson Landscapes who specified granite throughout for the hard landscaping contract at and New Providence Wharf.
London's Docklands continues to thrive and surprise with the variety of its architecture and landscaping, and New Providence Wharf provides the latest example of both.
Once again, Pomery Natural Stone has been the lead supplier of hard materials, working with Thompson Landscapes who specified granite throughout for the hard landscaping contract.
With well over two acres of garden and water features an integral part of Phases I and II of this mixed residential and commercial development, Pomery Natural Stone has sourced substantial quantities of flame textured silver grey paving and cladding from China.
This shows up to superb advantage where it is used for coping and cladding a 200m elliptical bench bordering a grassed area.
In stark contrast, black 'Anthracite' granite is used extensively to strongly delineate a series of impressive steps and areas of paving.
The Anthracite is used, too, for stepped water features and pools where it shows up even darker when wet.
Pomery's hallmark steel grey granite setts, used imaginatively in a fantail design add yet another eye-catching feature to this contract, which Julian Pomery describes as: "a great challenge that we thoroughly enjoyed meeting, first in terms of quantities of materials specified, then sourcing and finally delivering to meet the development schedule".
New Providence Wharf ranks as one of the largest of all Docklands developments, with over 700 residential units, a hotel, and office, retail and leisure facilities.
It also has considerable historical significance, for it was from this part of London that a group of settlers set sail to establish the first colony in the New World.
With Phases III and IV still to come on this project, which ultimately will have run over a six year period, New Providence Wharf is set to become a showcase for imaginative hard landscaping for some time to come.
