What began as a modest landscaping commission soon grew into one of Suttle Purbeck Stone’s most striking showcase projects, a stunning installation at a new development of nine luxury flats on Evening Hill, Sandbanks, with sweeping views across Poole Harbour to Brownsea Island.

Suttle Purbeck Stone, based at California Quarry in Swanage, was first approached by Woodmace in the summer of 2015 to supply stone for a single landscaping feature in the grounds of the high-end development. But after a site visit from Quarry Manager Nick Crocker, the scope of work expanded. By the time the plans were finalised, Suttle’s role had grown to include materials for steps, pathways and the landscaped garden area, all carefully designed to complement the development’s coastal setting.
