Colour families
We hold no photograph of this finish on one of our own projects, so this page does not show one. Everything above is a colour family, not a picture of a material.
Shrubs & hedging
Westringia
Fine grey-green foliage that takes hard shearing, so it does the job people used to give boxwood on a fraction of the water. The default low hedge in a modern coastal palette.
Essential cost band
The workhorse option. Does the job, lasts, and is what most of a yard is made of.
