In this Time-lapse footage you can see the final preparation of the road base, the course level of asphalt being laid, and formation of the inner and outer circle gutters. With the gutters installed work commences on the inner circle garden beds which have formed steel edging. Follow this link to the 3D visualisations of the garden design.
Due to double the average rainfall in October and November, works on site have been delayed so planting has been put back to late January. The construction company 2Construct are taking a well earned break over Christmas & New Year and will be back on site in mid January to finish the landscaping and install the decorative heritage lamps.

In-between days and days of rain, work continues to reconstruct the 1880 circular drive. Final services are installed underground on the north side of the site while work to prepare the road base commences on the south side. Preparation of the road base is slow going with all this rain.
