Hello from all of us at Hilltop!
July is one of our favourite months here at your local garden centre in Clacton. The sun is out (mostly!), flowers are in full bloom, and long summer evenings mean more time enjoying the garden with friends and family. If you're looking to freshen up your outdoor space, add a new piece of garden furniture, or simply find a shaded bench to enjoy your morning coffee — we’ve got some brilliant new arrivals we think you’ll love.
So, let’s take a little wander through what’s new in-store this month at Hilltop Garden Centre.
Say hello to Hartman’s premium hardwood furniture range
We’re thrilled to now stock the brand-new range of premium hardwood garden furniture from Hartman, a name we trust for both quality and comfort. These beautifully designed pieces are crafted from natural teak, a wood that not only looks stunning but is known for its incredible durability.
Whether you’re treating yourself to a wooden garden table and chairs, a round garden table and chairs set for al fresco lunches, or simply looking for a peaceful garden bench, these new arrivals will make your garden space look inviting. And even better — every set comes with a three-year limited manufacturer’s warranty, which you can easily extend to five years by registering.
Malton Bistro Set – perfect for patios and smaller spaces
We’re in love with the Malton Bistro Set — a compact yet beautiful choice, ideal for cosy corners, patios or even balconies. This beautifully made set includes a foldable round wooden garden table and chairs, perfect for easy storage when the seasons change.
RRP is £600, but we’re offering it for just £470 — a great value option that brings timeless style and function to your outdoor space.
Crafted from natural teak, you can choose to let it weather naturally to a lovely silver-grey finish, or preserve its honey-golden tone with Hartman's Teak Cleaner and Teak Protector — both available here at your local garden centre in Clacton on Sea.
Tatton Wooden Garden Benches – relax in style
A garden bench is one of those classic pieces that instantly adds warmth and character to any outdoor space. Our new Tatton Benches from Hartman are beautifully made with simple lines and that soft teak glow that gets better with age.
Choose from a 2-seater bench, RRP £330, now just £250, or go bigger with the 3-seater bench, RRP £465, now £350.
They’re not only comfortable and stylish, but made to last — ideal for placing under a favourite tree, at the end of a path, or anywhere you love to pause and take in your garden. Treat with teak oil or protector to keep it looking as good as new, or leave it to gently weather for that soft, rustic patina.

Why buy outdoor furniture from Hilltop?
We’re proud to say that Hilltop has been a family-run garden centre in Essex for over 75 years. And we’re just as passionate today about helping your garden, home and life bloom brighter as we were when we first opened.
Our team is always here to help you choose the right product, give advice on how to care for it, and share a few gardening tips along the way. We believe that garden centres in Essex should offer more than plants and compost — they should feel like a part of the community.
And that’s exactly what we aim for.
