How many landscapers are trying to install 'green' technologies into their designs ?
Building in these features in not only gives you an edge, it will mean you design will not be disturbed in the future.

I have joined the garden network as spaceframe, so rather than look like I am spamming, I will give a brief description of my other business which designs and fits renewable energy products (if you want more info drop me a line).
Now the reason for the blog.  As some of your are no doubt aware ground source heat pumps are becoming more widespread, the use of 'slinky's' and trenches can cause a significant drop  in soil temperature if they are incorrectly installed of specified ( we have seen a number of perma-frosts after only 18 months)
If you are doing a project using / incorporating ground source pipe work and are concerned as to its effects please contact me and I can let you know the implications or help with the specification.
Just a thought for designers and landscapers, why not start including ground coils into designs ? even if the customer doesn,t need it now, it will not discourage them in the future. Pipes can be fitted and capped, why not future proof your garden ?
I can supply materials and installation know how if required let me know what you think.

We have just launched a new product call Space-Frame. It is steel framed platform / decking system. Built to individual designs the possibilities are endless.......
In-built  veg.beds, fire-pits, water features, rainwater harvesting, building foundations - what can you come up with ?
We are especially proud of the SolarDec - it is embedded with a solar collector, meaning you can sit on your solar panel !
Tell us what you need for your project.
