For house and garden

M. J. McKendry, Ltd, specialists in concrete products, have clever design ideas that will enhance the house and garden. Classical balustrading and columns, in a variety of styles, add distinction to your home. Period statues such as the “Water Carrier,” “Venus” and “David,” crafted in concrete-compos-ite white marble with a metal finish, become a focal point in a home or garden. In smaller garden ornments, there are shrub and plant containers in traditional or contemporary styles. These include grecian urns, concrete barrels, tubs (in all shapes and sizes), cactus pots and flower vases. McKendrys expertise extends to garden furniture such as bird baths, fish ponds, outdoor table and seats, and there is also an assortment of figurines — animals, gnomes and dwarfs to mention a few. On the more practical side, there are easy-to-erect outdoor barbecues, finished in exposed aggregate concrete. Compost bins, garden incinerators, coal bins, tree surrounds and paving slabs complete the list giving the householder a wide choice in practical and permanent products

In addition, there is the full range of Firth paving stones and building blocks.
