A Royal Challenge

Ahead of the Royal Windsor Flower Show 2025, the lead Garden Designer for the project at Landform contacted Beauxfort with a clear brief: create a flawless, stable gravel surface worthy of royal approval. 

“We need your Gravelrings as his Highness is coming, and the garden will see all kinds of traffic. It has to stay firm and still look beautiful,” said Alan.

With His Majesty in attendance and the garden’s reputation on the line, the installation had to be both strong and stunning. The designer envisioned a natural, self-binding gravel surface that looked seamless while standing up to the demands of the event.
The solution? Gravelrings, a high-performance gravel stabilisation system that effortlessly delivered elegance and durability across the 110sqm garden pathway. 

Elegance Worthy of Royal Approval

When designing a garden for a royal audience, every element had to look and perform flawlessly, including the surface underfoot. The gravel surface needed to complement the garden’s ‘Patterns in Nature’ theme, balancing natural beauty with lasting strength.

The Gravelrings’ mesh-base design made that possible, keeping the gravel perfectly in place even under continuous foot traffic. Once filled, the grid vanished completely, allowing Allgreen’s Harleyford Blend to take centre stage; a light, natural-looking finish that blended seamlessly with the surrounding planting. The result was a self-binding gravel surface that looked beautiful, stayed firm, and enhanced the elegance of the entire garden.

Strength Beneath the Surface

The garden not only had to look perfect, but it also had to perform. The pathways would face continuous foot traffic, wheelchairs, pushchairs, trolleys and more, all while contending with the unpredictability of British weather.  

Gravelrings’ low-profile design provided the strength needed beneath the surface while remaining completely invisible, preserving the garden’s natural aesthetic and the intricate Fibonacci-inspired layout. Beyond its appearance, the system gave the Landform team complete confidence that the pathways would stay stable, smooth, and flawless from start to finish.’

Swift, Simple and Seamless Installation

Landform reached out just one week before the event. Beauxfort responded immediately, delivering Gravelrings within two days. The Landform team then installed and filled the full 110sqm pathway in just two more days! 

Described by the installation team as ‘easy to work with,’ Gravelrings helped them create a surface that looked immaculate and felt completely stable underfoot. Designer Alan Williams shared that he was ‘very happy with the garden,’ and Landform later requested to use the same system at their Glasshouse Collective show space, a testament to its performance and lasting value.

This project perfectly demonstrates what Gravelrings was designed for: a stable, sustainable, and stylish gravel surface that performs as beautifully as it looks.
