Liverpool-based Mayfield Construction is celebrating after winning a prestigious British Association of Landscape Industry (BALI) Award.

The company, which is a division of The McKean Group, was selected as a BALI, National Hard Landscaping Award Winner 2008, in the category of mainly hard landscaping to a value of £1.5m, for work undertaken at the Town Hall Square in Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council.

The £766,000 project provided a new look town centre which focused on enhancing the environment of the core town centre through a series of contemporary, forward looking improvements to the streetscape and the public realm. The excavation and refurbishment of Townhall Square encompassed works in granite, sandstone paving, setts, street furniture, artwork and lighting, with the main square in Blackburn town centre completely repaved.


This is the fourth BALI Award for Mayfield.

David Noar, Managing Director of McKean Group, said: "This award demonstrates our strength and expertise in the hard landscaping field. It is a privilege to be recognised by such a prestigious association and the team at Mayfield should be very proud of their hard work and dedication to this project.

"We are very pleased to have been selected for this award. Most rewarding is that this demonstrates our continued commitment to quality following our equally successful year last year with a similar award for the Focal Point scheme in St. Helens. This scheme is another benchmark for all our companies and divisions to aspire to. We are focused on quality, delivery and health and safety and we will continue to produce high quality landscaping projects for all our clients."
