The Germantown Avenue Monument, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Brenton Associates, Inc. is project landscape architect for the Rotary Club of Chestnut Hill's initiative to restore Fairmount Park's historic gateway at the intersection of Germantown Avenue and Cresheim Valley Drive. Brenton Associates, Inc.’s design work has included selective clearing to restore views, planting of native tree and shrubs, as well as exotic seasonal flowers, recommendations for stream stabilization, and securing Streets Department approvals to close a redundant turn lane and improve pedestrian safety. This project has required extensive coordination with the Fairmount Park Commission, community volunteers, and neighboring business owners.
