THE MAGESTIC DELAWARE BENCH

I recently enjoyed a fabulous morning at the regal old Johannesburg Country Club, and couldn’t resist taking a few pics of our magestic Delaware Benches, which are elegantly dotted along the edges of the manicured walkways and courtyards.

SUMMER EVENINGS MADE ALL THE MORE SPECIAL AROUND BESPOKE FIREPITS

Our Cape Town team worked their magic to create this gorgeous Coreten Steel Wood Stack to compliment our Fire Pit. Beautiful for starry nights, to sit outdoors and celebrate the coming New Year, we wish you all a peaceful and happy start to 2020.

Safe travels and the happiest of holidays to all of you, wherever you might be going, from all of us at WILSONSTONE!

CUSTOM PIECES ARE OUR FORTE!

We were recently commissioned to manufacture this custom pot design by Hennie Pelser from Nuclei, which was installed by CPM Projects. Intricate in detail, our pattern shop nailed it and we are proud to showcase the result.

Custom storage units in treated wood were commissioned to compliment our 500 Cube Troughs. A clever use of space and a great way to conceal pool noodles, while creating useful seating by the pool!

MORE & MORE POOLS ARE BEING CREATIVELY PAVED WITH OUR BEAUTIFUL CUT STONE COPING

Here is another example of a creative pool design surrounded with our Cut Stone Coping in Charcoal, bullnosed on both sides. Summer is here, but we still have time to supply coping and paving to get those pool surrounds ship-shape before the holidays!

WATER FEATURES PROMINENTLY IN THE CAPE

A sense of zen is created in Cape Town, where our beautiful Windsor Bowl is cleverly adapted to create two completely different looking water features, which become the focul points of these tranquil outdoor spaces.

Congratulations to Rob and our Cape Town team for customising the Windsor Bowl to suit the individual requirements of these creative customers.

Customising our pot designs to work as water features is often asked of us, and we are always happy to assist wherever possible.

FEATURED THIS OCTOBER

The simplicity of the design of the Turin Rest Set makes this the perfect solution for al fresco dining in a home environment, or alternatively an appealing design for outdoor areas in office parks, and public parks and gardens.

Not only do the elegant lines of this rest set work in almost every setting, it is an exceptionally well priced product which makes it an affordable solution for outdoor living.

It comes in both cement grey and sandstone, and in lengths of both 1500mm and 1800mm.

A sense of urgency prevails as everyone strives to complete projects before year end, so please remember that we require a five to six week lead time to complete orders at this busy time of year.

SAFARI ANYONE? CLARENS POOL COPING MAKES A SPLASH IN THE BUSH!

Clarens Deluxe Pool Coping in Cream looks spectacular in this natural bush-scape. The pavers gently blend with the earth tones of the environment, creating a tranquil oasis within this peaceful bush camp. Congrats to Westonwood Pools and Decking in Hoedspruit on a job well done!

The moulded profile of the Clarens Deluxe Coping makes an elegant finish to any pool, and custom radius corners were used on the Bush Pool to complete the look.

ITALIAN DESIGN IS GORGEOUS IN GREEN – THE FIRENZE BENCH LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!

Versatility is what we are known for. Here, we customised the finish of our Firenze bench in a beautiful lime green hue. An easy solution to creating something unique for any funky urban landscape design.

Another unique use of our paving is this floating block walkway at the entrance of this stunning home. Grey CutStone pavers sized at 990*490mm were used to create this contemporary entrance.

CREATIVE CUBES

George from Anthrop Architects cleverly used WilsonStone’s 250 Cubes to create this magnificent statement screen, inviting a synergy between the beautiful outdoor vista and the contemporary interior space. Our Cube Range boasts six cube sizes and six contemporary trough sizes, from 250mm to 1200mm high.

THE NUANCES OF CUT STONE: Q & A

Do you know why Cut Stone colours are numbered 2, 3 & 4

We do this in order to differentiate between the size of aggregate used in the mix. Any Cut Stone colour with the number 2 after it means it contains the smallest size aggregate chip mixed into the formula, creating a speckled look to the slab.

Cut Stone 3 uses a slightly larger and more obvious aggregate, with Cut Stone 4 using the largest of aggregates to create the most contrast and interest through the slab, creating random shapes and patterns through the paver.
Cut Stone is an extremely elegant, yet durable, non-slip solution for paving and pool coping.

This versatile paver comes in a variety of sizes, with the largest at 990*490*40mm size, allowing the layout of the tiles to be in exactly 1m x 500mm segments; with smaller standard sizes available, as well as custom size options. Cut stone comes in thicknesses from 20mm to 100mm thick but standard thicknesses are 30mm, 40mm and 50mm.

Perhaps the best thing about cut stone though is that at an additional nominal cost we can factory cut the tiles to fit any space exactly. Pools often need this treatment and it elevates the finished products perceived sophistication significantly.

When polished, Cut Stone is a beautiful solution for sophisticated indoor tiling.

TREE ACCESSORIES

WilsonStone’s range of tree guards and rings are widely used in public car parks and city & open areas.

Our tree accessories will protect your trees from the surrounding environment, ensuring they are allowed to grow unimpeded.

Concrete, solid steel and cast-iron components ensure that the tree accessory will be around for the tree’s entire lifespan.

Custom designs manufactured to spec.

TROUGHS

FIRESIDE CHATS AND A CUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE GO A LONG WAY TO KEEPING THE COLD AT BAY THIS JULY!

Although the grass might be brown, and the trees without leaves, frosty mornings refresh the soil, and bulbs bide their time underground, to burst into life come the first flush of spring. It is a time to embrace the crisp air, and enjoy hot soups and crusty rolls in front of crackling fires.

WilsonStone is masterfull in creating customised or standard fireplace surrounds to suit every setting, like the Dainfern surround, left, and the Stellenbosch surround, above…

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

With careful attention to detail, our fireplace surrounds are measured beforehand and made to fit the fireplace.

Filler pieces are added if necessary and plinths are made to suit the height of the fireplace and chimney breast. Once ready, our team of installers fit the fireplace, taking meticulous care of the flooring and surrounds.

WILSONSTONE OFFERS A VARIETY OF CLADDING OPTIONS, FROM ROUGH SANDSTONE MASONRY, BEVELLED MASONRY AND REPLICA CLADDING.

Our cladding is designed to replicate real sandstone at a more feasible price, and only a well-trained eye will spot the difference.
Our cladding is more durable than real sandstone.

It is produced using the same methods used to create real sandstone. With the split block method, no two stones are the same, creating an authentic and beautiful finish.

WASH TROUGH

Our Wash Trough is hugely popular and comes with both single and double basin options. Easy to install, our wash trough is great for commercial or domestic use.

Seen below, the wash trough is a useful but elegant solution for outdoor washing in this pretty laundry yard.

What better time than winter to remodel tired old pathways, create new and interesting areas, and make the most of this fallow time to re-invent spaces! This is the perfect time to install and plant beautiful pots to create lush greenery in the bleakest of winter landscapes.

RENOVATE & REJUVENATE THIS WINTER!

Jacqui Clucas of Bumble Bee Landscaping has been busy working her magic to transform a traditional old Johannesburg garden into a contemporary classic. Using WilsonStone’s Charcoal Cut Stone Pavers for the pond coping, fire pit areas, pool coping and surrounds, Jacqui creates continuity and symmetry throughout the garden.

An old path and rose garden make way for a formal garden with central water feature, to create a whole new look to the space. The coping on the water feature echoes the paving and the pool coping, creating continuity.

A beautiful, large rectangular pool with 990*490*40mm Cut Stone coping continues the contemporary landscape design and leads the eye from the veranda into the garden.

FOCUS ON HARDSCAPING

After the leaves fall, you may be more aware the garden’s basic structure. Lack of foliage in the winter creates the perfect opportunity for you to evaluate what areas need more hardscaping.

Consider adding pots, urns, benches, patios, landscape walkways, or gazebos to help your space look inviting and balanced year-round. You can even add a sheltered fire pit for outdoor wintertime enjoyment!

The Florentine Bowl is featured below, and Clarens paving, above.
