CALLIOPE CEMETERY UPGRADE
20 Jul 2016
Boyds Bay Landscaping recently completed a sensitive upgrade on the Calliope Cemetery in the Gladstone region, redesigning and improving the existing grounds with their usual attention to detail.
The Central Queensland township of Calliope is part of the historically rich Gladstone area. The oldest graves in the existing Calliope Cemetery date back to 1884. While cemeteries tend not to be a pleasant subject, they are an essential part of every community, and by making the surroundings as beautiful as possible it can brighten the often sombre occasions conducted there.
Continuing Boyds Bay Landscaping’s long, successful working relationship with Gladstone Regional Council they were more than happy to assist in bringing the exceptional level of quality and detail to this project that the Council has come to expect.
Project works included:
- Initial site clearing and demolition
- Concrete pavements and stairs
- Balustrading
- Retaining walls
- Feature boulders
- Concrete edging
- Automatic irrigation system
- Softscaping and planting
- Furniture installation
- Shelter
- Signage
- Extensive stone work
Design changes and modifications to the scope of works required quick thinking and flexibility from the project manager and the rest of the onsite crew, but in the end it proved no obstacle for the completion of this immaculate site. All team members are proud of what this project accomplished and hope the space continues to flourish and serve the local community for many years to come.
