* The directory rests on the principle: 'use only the best'. This does not mean 'use the most expensive'. Unbound gravel, if well chosen, is a material of the highest quality. But precast concrete is almost always a trashy material: it can have the charm of fresh snow when laid but decays thereafter. Similarly: grass is an excellent material and plastic is, usually, undesirable in gardens. This is not an issue of old materials vs modern materials. Laminated glass and stainless steel, for example, are modern materials of high quality. It is more a question of durability and of the aging process. Lead and stone grow old gracefully. Plastic and concrete merely decay: they do not develop an attractive patina.
