Project Updates
25 March 2024
Our landscaping efforts have reached approximately 70% completion. Notable achievements include the installation of Lark Exercise equipment, extensive work on concrete pathways, and the placement of beautiful planter boxes, enriching the outdoor spaces of houses 1 through 4.
Our teams have diligently worked on the groundwork, ensuring that all necessary layouts are installed ahead of concrete works, which now boast coloured sections adding vibrancy to the site The seating and various furniture elements have been thoughtfully placed, enhancing the communal areas in front of houses 1 & 2.
The focus for the upcoming month includes finalising the soft landscaping around houses 1 & 2 and extending these efforts to houses 3 through 7. We aim to complete all hard landscaping tasks, ensuring our outdoor spaces are not only beautiful but fully functional and accessible to our residents in time for occupancy.
