TOP TRENDS
IN LANDSCAPING STONE
Slate, Cotswold and Pea Gravel have been used by landscapers
and DIYers for decades but these established favourites are
being challenged by new products which give landscapers the
chance to offer clients a wider variety of colour and materials
to meet consumer trends.
With this in mind Long Rake Spar are committed to being
at the forefront of product development by continually
introducing new products to the market. This has led the
company to create a range of unique and exclusive decorative
aggregates that reflect current trends in hard landscaping.
Sales of Long Rakes Platinum Range of exclusive products
have repeatedly grown year on year making them a popular
choice within landscape design.
To ensure the continuing success of their Platinum range, Long
Rake closely monitor current patterns in landscaping. Over
the last few years we have seen a rise in the popularity of grey
colour tones, with sales of products that complement this
colour palette increasing.
Currently Long Rake’s top selling decorative aggregate is Black
Ice which is a mixture of blacks, blue, grey and white chippings.
Also in the top 10 are Polar Ice, Flamingo and Polar White
gravels, all of which feature the contemporary colour tones
of white, blue or grey. All of these products look fantastic by
themselves or combined with grey paving.
Millie Ferns, Long Rake Spar’s Marketing Director commented
“Over the last three years we have seen the colour grey
become a central requirement for landscape design, outselling
the staple favourites of buff and golden colour products. Our
product development reflects this and has returned some
surprising results”.
