Blakedown Landscapes Features in Pro Landscaper's 'The Collection 2023'

 

We are delighted to be featured twice in Pro Landscaper’s ‘The Collection 2023’, which celebrates the biggest achievements in our industry for 2023.

Our projects at Boston Manor Park and Shoreditch Park are showcased as portfolio pieces, which will hopefully continue to inspire throughout the coming year.

Reconnecting Boston Manor Park has restored and unlocked the heritage of the site; maximised its incredible biodiversity; capitalised on the site’s pivotal location; provided learning and educational opportunities for training, arts and creative initiatives; improved health and wellbeing; helped to reverse social deprivation; and implemented sustainable funding and management models to ensure the park thrives and is financially resilient for the next 100 years.

Appointed by the London Borough of Hounslow as specialist landscape contractors, Blakedown Landscapes’ remit was to supply and deliver the landscape masterplan conceived by Allen Scott Landscape Architects. You can read more on our Boston Manor Park project here.

The Shoreditch Park Improvement Project is one of the biggest green spaces investments in Hackney in recent years and will secure the future of the park for generations to come. The brief from the client was to create an asset which would foster openness and enclosure, create a heart to the community, stitch together the existing park zones, connect the park to the surrounding new developments, and develop a safe and welcoming space.

The Shoreditch Park Team – Hackney Council, LUC and Blakedown Landscapes, as main contractor – has worked to ensure the success of this complex project. This team effort has been built upon by Blakedown with practical landscape best practice to ensure the quality of the finished product and value of the scheme was maximised.
