There are also two carpenters in the team who carry out repairs to the park’s wooden benches and bins when needed.
Salford Media City | External Landscaping
idverde (then The Landscape Group) carried out the external works at Salford Quays. Works included the laying of 30,000 square meters of natural stone paving, the cladding of walls, steps, terraces and a footbridge over the Canal. The creation of the central piazza area saw the planting of large semi-mature trees and other general planting, together with the creation of resin bound footpaths, the installation of granite planters, lighting and the installation of surface water drainage. Individual pocket parks were created; these included ornamental planting, resin paths, lawns & dividing walls.
