About This Project
Horticon Ltd were appointed to carry out site wide landscape improvements to the park and gardens including the walled gardens, pleasure gardens, fairyland, car park and café area. We refurbished access paths, cleared vegetation, installed interpretation signage, external furniture and new planting.
There are a number of listed buildings, structures and features (as well as the park itself) listed under the Historic England National Heritage List for England register. We ensured all historic features were protected throughout the works. We carried out the project whilst the Hall and gardens remained open, therefore, we secured working areas to prevent public access and programmed our works to minimise disruption.
