We are delighted to announce that we won four APL Awards across three categories at the HTA APL Awards 2026 last Friday, 13th March 2026.
Riverside Property
Maintenance – Best in Category
Project Value over £250,000 – Silver Merit
This is a beautiful and expansive garden, dominated by a large, well-maintained lawn that stretches down to a private mooring by the Thames. The meticulous lawn is framed by a variety of mature trees and new planting with ample space for the children to kick a ball around.
Rustic Haven
Project Value over £80,000 to £100,000 – Bronze Merit
Nestled in rural Berkshire amidst a verdant green planting scheme with accents of white foliage to the front and rich, warm hues of a statement Japanese maple to the rear of the property. The garden set against the distressed, rustic wooden panels of the house, unfolds like an oasis. A meandering stone pathway edged with cottage style planting leads to the sparking azure pool. There is a spacious patio with a graceful Japanese maple feature. All plants supplied by The Big Plant Nursery.
Hill Farm
Maintenance Category – Silver Merit
Judging took place over three intensive days. Led by a panel of respected industry professionals, the judges used their wealth of knowledge and experience to meticulously evaluate and select the best from an array of outstanding projects. The expert judging panel was chaired by Bob Sweet (BBC Gardeners’ World Live), with Rod Winrow (Garden House Design), Laura Anstiss (Oakmore Green), Rupert Keys (TASK Academy), and Phil Tremayne (APL General Manager).
