Hi Luke, these photos are of vertical gardens using artificial plants, pretty amazing what is available now, I am a gardener and love the real thing but these are incredibly real looking and give instant impact, it all depends on the time and maintenance that you have available to put into caring for the wall, once let go they can deteriorate very quickly

Hi Liam, I wouldn’t add anything to your house until your landscaping is done, by adding such a strong look in the stone you would be limited in the landscaping of your garden so that it wouldn’t look too busy, a fabulous garden to your lovely house would look so much better and give a more stylish look

It looks like you home has had lots of renovations and changes over the years so I wouldn't be too concerned with getting a new scheme that is completely authentic, but something that works with the elements that you can't change easily. The large bricks were probably a smooth faced concrete block, not a terracotta brick , I am not too sure what the pock-marking is under the window? Can you share a photo of the brickwork near the front of the house? Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls https://secretdesignstudio.com/services/dr-retro-house-calls/
