The Lydiard Park Lake Restoration Gallery |
Working for Swindon Borough Council in association Nicholas Pearson Associates we are the main contractor for the restoration of the lakes at Lydiard Park in Swindon. The project involves the removal of encroaching tree and scrub growth whilst retaining a selection of the better specimens, the construction of a 1.5 kilometre haul road and the removal of silt from two lakes. Later phases include planting with aquatic marginals and lilies as well as the construction of bridges and jetties.
