Gavin Jones Secures Soft Landscaping Package for Transformational Stockton Urban Park Project

Gavin Jones, a Nurture Group company, has been awarded the soft landscaping package for Stockton’s new urban park, a key component of the ambitious Stockton Waterfront development.

The project, led by regional main contractor, Esh Construction on behalf of Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, marks a significant step in transforming the town centre into a vibrant and economically successful area.

Creating a thriving community hub for all

• Unique Features: The urban park will showcase unique play areas, flexible spaces, and improved connectivity between the high street and the River Tees via a 55m land bridge.
• Infrastructural Improvements: The phased development includes the realignment of Riverside Road, extension of the Millennium Footbridge, and the construction of a large-scale amphitheatre.
• Community Impact: This transformation aims to create a town centre that families can cherish and businesses can thrive in, making Stockton a vibrant place for all.

This transformation will create a town centre that people deserve, making Stockton a vibrant place for families to relax and businesses to thrive. Gavin Jones‘ involvement in the soft landscaping package ensures that the park will not only be functional but also aesthetically pleasing, providing a green and welcoming environments for all.

Next month, tree tagging will commence to secure 124 mature trees for the project, with sizes ranging from 14-16 cm up to a girth of 90-100 cm. Gavin Jones will also work with a local supply chain to procure 16,500 shrubs, 54,600 bulbs, and 4,600 square meters of turfing.

This urban park project stands as a testament to Stockton’s forward-thinking approach to urban development, promising a brighter, more connected future for its residents and visitors.
