Four Seasons Hotel
When Aldershot Landscape created the landscape for the prestigious Toronto Four Seasons Hotel, part of the job involved laying out a stone “carpet.” One worker had to stand on the site calling out colours, as others arranged the 6x6 blocks of granite in various shades of grey, red and black. The result? A spectacular, oversized carpet, designed to evoke a 19th century aesthetic. And, in the centre of the tight, one-acre site, sits a huge, 4-storey red cast iron fountain built by a foundry in Alabama.
