As Sheffield Council’s Landscape Framework Partner Horticon were engaged to undertake improvement works to Fountain Square in order for it to house a new Covid Memorial.
Works had to be completed prior to the 3-year anniversary of the start of the Covid 19 Lockdown in March 2023. Works included lifting and relaying York stone paving on a new sub base, laying new Yorkstone paving where required, creation of new accessible levels with ramps and handrail, refurbishment of site furniture and railings, stone cleaning, and soft landscaping works.
Feature lighting was also installed. We worked closely with our Electrical Subcontractors and the nominated Feature manufacturer to ensure the works were completed in time for the memorial event.
