Project | Create a Landscaped Lake from a waterlogged field

The Works

We excavated this primarily clay site, removed vegetation and moved vegetative soils to the side, then filled and graded the site with dense clay to create the flowing shape of the lake including creating the island, streams and water courses. Finally we created an overflow into the river running through the site.

Later we replaced the vegetative soils.

For the overflow feature we imported granite in order to create a series of weirs to manage flows and water levels. Aside from the granite no material were imported or exported from the site a s result of the way the work was done.
