Blakedown Landscapes' Reconnecting Boston Manor Park Project Features in Pro Landscaper

Blakedown Landscapes’ Reconnecting Boston Manor Park Project has been featured in a four-page portfolio in the May edition of Pro Landscaper.

Appointed by the London Borough of Hounslow as specialist landscape contractors, Blakedown’s remit was to supply and deliver the £2.5 million landscape masterplan. Blakedown has previously worked in partnership with the London Borough of Hounslow, re-landscaping the popular riverside Watermans Park in Brentford and delivering improvement works at Feltham Arenas, Feltham.

The overall vision was to transform Boston Manor Park into a vibrant asset that reflected the needs of the community and reconnected it to nature, to its history, to its immediate locality and to the people who live and work around and nearby.

The masterplan was progressed over a three-year period by Allen Scott Landscape Architects and the London Borough of Hounslow, considering extensive desktop studies, on-site surveys, design research and resident consultation. The key drivers were openness, connectivity and integration that would encourage wide use, provide coherence and reconnect the park with the river.

The works included improvements to the lake, woodland walks, front of the manor house and walled garden; construction of new ball courts and improvements and rationalisation of site-wide paths.
