A new installation allows the structure, granite components and surroundings to be coordinated from the beginning. With renovation, the first task is deciding what is sound enough to retain and what should be replaced.
The scope can range from a monument and borders to full slabs, stone infill, a defined planting area or surrounding paving. Each component should have a clear practical role.
What the solution can include
- Assessment of the existing setting and its proportions
- Base, border and granite slab planning
- Integration of monument, inscriptions and details
- Formation of access, infill or planting areas
Decisions that shape the design
- Which existing elements are worth retaining
- The desired level of seasonal maintenance
- Surface falls and water drainage
- How the setting meets paths and neighbouring memorials
