9:16 am: The foundations have been dug and the Durisol UK team are about to start building.

11:30 am: The walls are already starting to take shape above the ground.  Durisol blocks are stacked together like Lego, speeding up build times and eliminating the need for skilled bricklayers.

Another picture taken at 11:30, with stacks of Durisol blocks in the background ready to be used. The blocks are lightweight and easy to move around the site.

12:51 pm: The wall is already well over a metre high. Durisol’s interlocking blocks can be dry stacked up to 26 storeys high.

1:45 pm: The walls are nearly finished already. Because Durisol blocks are so easy to use, construction times of 3m² per person per hour can be expected as a minimum, easily reaching 10m² per person per hour for an experienced builder.

2:02pm: The walls are finished! The three-man team have created a 22 metre long, 2 metre high boundary wall and a 10 metre long, 3.5 metre high retaining wall in less than one day.

The beautiful finished garden and water feature, with admirers in the background…

The Durisol wall was finished in a single coat of dark blue render, forming a natural backdrop for the garden.

Durisol’s sustainable blocks are made from 80% recycled wood, making the product the perfect choice for Darren Saines’ eco-friendly garden.

After the Chelsea Flower Show, Durisol UK’s blocks can be recycled again, along with the concrete core and mineral wool insulation.
