One of the premier horticultural display gardens in the world, Longwood is also home to one of the most significant fountain collections in North America. The Main Fountain, inspired by European design and first turned on in 1931, is the jewel of the fountain collection. Challenge In 2014, Longwood embarked on a two-year revitalization of the Main Fountain Garden. The project included a complete restoration of over 4,000 pieces of limestone. Solution Work included patching, crack repair, dutchmen repairs, reproduction, full unit replacement, pointing, and cleaning. Due to excavation and underground work, the limestone units had to be disassembled, crated, trucked to an offsite warehouse for restoration, re-created, and returned to the jobsite for installation. ©2017 DAN LEPORE & SONS COMPANY | WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT BY SherpaWeb | BRANDING BY BrownDogDesign
