Boston Harbor, MA
Spectacle Island is a landfill/park project, part of the Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel project. Brown, Richardson & Rowe provided the grading and planting design necessary to stabilize the millions of cubic yards of dredged fill which was transported to the Island from the tunnel excavation. The firm worked with Dr. Phillip Craul, soil scientist, to develop a manufactured topsoil and loam substrate using glacial till, sand, and organic matter such as compost from breweries.
Brown, Richardson & Rowe received an Honor Award from the Boston Society of Landscape Architects for its work on Spectacle Island.
