Yes, HRM is very poor at landscaping. Firstly, they make the wrong choices for the location and secondly, they ignore their poor choice in terms of maintenance so the result is a very bad application. The planters on SGR are incorrect for many reasons. Wrong choice of vegetation, wrong installation technique, and the grade of the plantings is wrong in relation to the size and shape of the exposed concrete planters. I think they all should be revamped. I realise the landscaping is subbed out but it is HRM that is responsible.
