WELCOME

Once again, we have been blown away by the quality of the entries for the Pro Landscaper Project Awards. This year, we are celebrating landscaping projects with a value under £50k which form the core of the landscaping market and challenge creativity, innovation and practicality.

The desire and importance for recognition has never been more important in helping businesses stand out, so it’s no surprise to see yet another record year for entries. This made it incredibly difficult for judges, resulting in some tough decisions to agree on this shortlist. So firstly, let’s celebrate and congratulate all the projects that made the shortlist across the 10 categories that are featured in this brochure; it’s an incredible achievement to be recognised in these awards.

Thank you to our esteemed panel of judges, who are featured on page 27, for helping us determine the individual category and supreme winners. Each winning project is profiled so you can find out more on the technical ability, creativity and problem-solving skills that made them stand out.

Finally, thank you to our headline partner Provender Nurseries for allowing us to be able to put on these awards, and thank you also to all our category partners for your support.

DAVID GRIFFITHS, DIVISIONAL DIRECTOR Eljays44 Ltd 3 Churchill Court, 112 The Street, Rustington, West Sussex, BN16 3DA Tel: 01903 777 570 www.eljays44.com

SUSTAINABLE GARDEN

In partnership with

UNDER £50,000

Both designers and landscapers could enter this category. Consideration for the project’s environmental impact had to be showcased, whether this is through incorporating biodiversity, choosing sustainably sourced or reclaimed materials, or ensuring the garden’s longevity. Plant choice should also have been integral, and the project had to have been completed on time and to a high standard.

WINNER

A JAPANESE-INSPIRED GARDEN | ADAM VETERE LANDSCAPE & GARDEN DESIGN Adam Vetere Landscape & Garden Design carried out a complete redesign of this garden into a sustainable, modern, and beautiful Japanese-inspired space.

Being as sustainable as possible, such as recycling and reusing materials, was a core value for the client. There was a target to recycle and reuse 80-90% of the existing hard landscaping materials and retaining the statues and garden ornaments also needed to be considered for inclusion in the redesign.

The client spoke of how increasing biodiversity within the space was hugely important, so the soft landscaping areas within the garden were increased significantly to make up 65% of the garden space.

Since completion, the client has observed a huge increase in birds, bees, butterflies, and other insects now enjoying her new garden.

In the end, over 85% of the client’s existing hard landscaping materials were reused and recycled, such as the stepping-stones and pots.

Vetere integrated modern and recycled materials and achieved a boost in the biodiversity within the garden.

SPECIAL FEATURE

In partnership with

UNDER £35,000

VILLIERS

This category recognises a special feature that is a standout part of the garden which complements and enhances the setting it has been built within. It needs to be unique and show good use of products whilst adding value to the garden.

WINNER

SEACLIFF POND | WATER GEMS (ALBA) LTD The clients wanted to resurrect the existing water feature on the site in order to create a more pleasing view from the garden and enhance it as a wildlife feature. There was to be a larger pond, with curves and plantings both in and out of the water, and the clients also wanted a cascade that would create visual interest as well as sound, with lighting for added interest.

The completed pond resulted in a far more natural looking feature in the space, one that matched the ground contours and levels far better. The pond and new cascade have created a central focal point for various parts of the wider garden and have added a beautiful view from the house and main patio.

It has enhanced the biodiversity of the space, encouraging dragonflies, bees, swallows, frogs, toads and voles whilst retaining the resident pair of ducks amongst other wildlife. The space creates continual changes across the seasons, with long season border plantings, marginals and aquatic species, all chosen to suit the climate and aspect.

WINNER

NATURALISTIC WILDLIFE COURTYARD | KATHRYN COX GARDEN DESIGN STUDIO Kathryn Cox Garden Design Studio took a Victorian terrace with a small courtyard bordering a busy London train line and transformed it into a naturalistic wildlife courtyard filled with colour. With spaces to sit in the sun and shade, the client is able to feel immersed in nature.

Built in 1900, the south-west-facing property with a small 20m 2 courtyard in Camden, North London, is the victim of noise and pollution from the neighbouring railway.

So, Kathryn Cox wanted to design a garden that would feel a world away from the train line and would attract wildlife despite the urban location, creating a picture window view.

Pre-existing mature plants were incorporated, whilst romantic planting was added, and hardscaping was kept to a minimum.

Cooling natural tones were combined with a main colourway to keep the space bright and light, making the courtyard feel larger.

Materials were selected to complement the London Victorian terraced house. This courtyard demonstrates what can be achieved in a small urban space, with every inch maximised.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING PROJECT

In partnership with

UNDER £35,000

In this category, we were looking for a garden that fully embraces the evening lifestyle, with a carefully planned and processed lighting element. As more people want to make the most of their garden and host late into the evening, lighting can set a mood, and allow full use of the garden at all times.

WINNER

SKY ENTERTAINING | MAÏTANNE HUNT GARDENS & LANDSCAPES

©Marianne Majerus

An exposed roof terrace was transformed into a sophisticated and functional entertainment space, offering privacy and protection from the elements. The clients, who enjoy a very busy social life and are keen art lovers, were hoping to revive their terrace into a practical and inviting space and also to offer a magical setting for their parties.

Maïtanne Hunt used a carefully planned lighting design to reveal what the clients wanted to show off and conceal what they did not. The clients’ terrace is metamorphosed at night into another spectacular setting, benefitting the clients’ sophisticated style and drawing endless compliments.

Hunt says John Cullen’s range of exterior light fittings for this project proved to be an excellent choice to make the most of any landscape or garden at night. The sophisticated lighting highlights the zones and design features, and enables late night entertainment, with the help of a firepit and discreet heaters.

PLANTING DESIGN

In partnership with

UNDER £25,000

This category celebrates a planting design that has been completed for less than £25,000. Entrants needed to demonstrate an understanding of the setting of the garden, client’s requirements, plants working well together, the structure of the planting design, and year-round interest.

WINNER

THE CIRCLE GARDEN | ALICE MEACHAM GARDENS The semi-rural setting of this gently sloping rear garden meant that there were lots of rough hedgerows and plenty of attractive mature trees visible in the wider environment, with an open aspect and distant hill views. The clients wanted the large, raised deck and swimming pool to be retained, whilst the rest of the garden had an empty space of rough lawn that the client wanted to be filled with low maintenance visual interest to create a family garden.

This is now a garden for all seasons, with colour and form evident even during the harshest of winters. The choice of shrubs and grasses over perennials ensures a longer display and uses foliage as much as bloom for colour and interest. The robust nature of the planting has coped with drought, prolonged cold and west country wet, and yet has maintained its structure.

By using ‘layering’ to create depth, the plant volume feels bigger than it is.

TEMPORARY INSTALLATION

In partnership with

UNDER £50,000

This category recognises garden projects that have been developed for an event or occasion – whether that be a show garden at a garden show, an installation used to raise awareness for a cause, an industry exhibition stand or a pop-up garden for shoppers to enjoy for the summer at a shopping centre, for example. We want to see a clear design flair, excellent build capabilities and a solution to any tricky areas that often come with short-timespan gardens.

WINNER

THE MARY ANNING SPACE TO LEARN GARDEN, RHS CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW 2023 | SANDHURST GARDEN DESIGN Created as an exhibit at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023, this garden follows the client’s brief from Charmouth Primary School to design an outdoor learning space for a small group of primary schoolage children.

The clients requested the use of natural materials that echoed the local coastline and were sustainably sourced. The garden was to engage the children with their lessons through play, nature and caring for the plants to increase their confidence and self-esteem.

Tree stumps were repurposed as planting containers as well as to encourage a wildlife friendly eco-system in the garden as they gradually decay, enriching the soil. Crazy paving limestone steppingstones, sourced locally, were engraved with ‘She Sells Seashells’ – the tongue twister written about Mary Anning.

The finished project used natural materials and planting that complemented each other, creating the drama and theatre for the show garden but also the practicality and durability for the primary school.

WINNER

BANKS FARM FLINT COURTYARD GARDEN | QUALITY OUTSIDE LIVING LTD Living on a mixed agricultural and residential estate, the client wanted to make the design of the courtyard consistent with the house but also ensure that it contained key features of most period Sussex properties, such as flint and brick walls. Fortunately, Quality Outside Living Ltd is no stranger to such a challenge.

The area was a mixture of gravel and a tarmacked car parking area which before had been used as the entrance to the front of the property. Now it has been switched round to the back, giving this area a whole new purpose as an inviting courtyard garden.

Built across several months, the courtyard has a flint and brick outer wall and six inner plant beds, the centre piece being a fountain. The workmanship was of the highest quality, and the client could not be more pleased. It has transformed the space, and it played a prominent role when opening the garden.

COMMUNITY GREEN SPACE

In partnership with

UNDER £50,000

We were looking to highlight a garden created on a budget, for a community. This could be a charity garden on a high street, a memorial garden at a hospice, or an area for children to enjoy at a community centre for example. In essence, this garden had to be used by a wide range of people and have elements that reflect that. Great design skills and top-quality execution in the build were a must.

WINNER

NATURE’S GIFT GARDEN | MERTHYR TYDFIL COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL – PARKS AND COUNTRYSIDE Troedyrhiw Park is at the heart of the community, but a space within it near to a play area needed an upgrade.

The site consisted of an abandoned, disused tennis court but has since become Nature’s Gift Garden, with planted areas surrounded by and interconnected with a series of edged and resurfaced footpaths.

To be associated with interpretation, artwork, and opportunities to provide a resource for both volunteering and educational purpose, the garden provides forest food, medicinal plants, culinary herbs, and native useful plants.

Those behind the project are working with local volunteers who now help to maintain the garden, and it receives positive comments from those using it on a daily basis.

The team also collaborated with local contractors and growers with all plants being sourced locally whilst avoiding the use of fertilisers, pesticides, or topsoil.

Throughout the project, the site posed many challenges, but despite a limited budget Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council wanted to change ‘grey to green’. There was some initial scepticism from the public, but the new garden is winning them over and boosting their appreciation of having nature on their doorstep.

A JAPANESE-INSPIRED GARDEN | JJH LANDSCAPES A Japanese-inspired garden by JJH Landscapes showcases a complete redesign of a south-facing, rear garden into a sustainable, modern space.

With a love and appreciation for traditional Japanese design, the clients wanted a contemporary take on traditional Ikebana flower arrangements, moss, and rock gardens.

Representing the inspiration in a modern, minimalist style, JJH Landscapes leveraged the contrast of rocks and greenery whilst increasing the biodiversity within the landscape by increasing the soft landscaping areas to 65% of the garden space.

Redesigning to incorporate the client’s statues, garden ornaments, and existing plants, JJH reused and recycled over 85% of the client’s existing hard landscaping materials.

A series of flexible seating areas were introduced within the garden for it to be enjoyed from different vantage points, and a small, Corten steel water bowl was installed for visual appreciation and for creating a rock water feature with circulating water for sound. The client commented on the level of care and attention to detail JJH Landscapes showed throughout the entire process.

MAJESTIC RETREAT | LANDSCAPIA LTD The clients were desperate to transform their neglected and under-utilised garden, where large areas of existing paths and patio disjointed the space, into a space that combined cosy seating and striking visual features.

Landscapia Ltd transformed the landscape, exceeding all expectations and overcoming the challenges of the desired design.

A large amount of planting areas was incorporated into the design to create texture and balance the clean and crisp lines. To help to reduce the environmental impact of the garden and improves biodiversity, all the products used are sustainable and designed to last a lifetime.

The contrast of the smooth porcelain, veneer walling and the Corten steel complement each other perfectly, creating a stunning outdoor space that is truly unique. It contains a series of complex elements completed to a high specification, such as building a curved wall in an area that had such a tight radius.

The client commented on the overwhelmingly positive experience from beginning to end with wonderful customer care and very professional staff across the board.

Pro Landscaper Project Awards 2023 27

THESE AWARDS RECOGNISE AND CELEBRATE THE BUSINESS SUCCESSES OF ORGANISATIONS THAT ARE LEADING THE UK’S LANDSCAPING INDUSTRY. BRINGING TOGETHER THE WHOLE INDUSTRY AT THE PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS CEREMONY WHICH IS HELD IN APRIL AT OLD BILLINGSGATE, LONDON.

THE PRO LANDSCAPER PROJECT AWARDS APPRECIATE THE COMPLEXITIES OF DESIGNING AND BUILDING A SPACE ON A RELATIVELY TIGHT BUDGET. IN FACT, IT’S OFTEN HARD TO GET THE ‘WOW FACTOR’ WITHIN THESE RESTRICTIONS. ​

THESE AWARDS ARE ON A MISSION TO SHOWCASE THE MOST IMPORTANT INNOVATION AND INITIATIVES ACROSS THE UK LANDSCAPING SECTOR, FROM DESIGN, TO CONSTRUCTION, TO PRODUCT SUPPLY AND MANUFACTURING. WE ARE LOOKING FOR GREAT STORIES OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REDUCTION, WORKING TOWARDS A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR THE PLANET.

’S

THE PRO LANDSCAPER 30 UNDER 30: THE NEXT GENERATION INITIATIVE HAS BEEN RUNNING SINCE 2015, AND HAS SEEN 270 WINNERS OF THIS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD. IT HAS HELPED TO PROPEL THEM INTO THE LANDSCAPING LIMELIGHT, WITH MOST OF THE WINNERS GOING ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS SINCE COLLECTING THEIR AWARD.

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AWARD IS PRO LANDSCAPER’S WAY OF SHOWCASING THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHAPING THE LANDSCAPING SECTOR, WHETHER THAT’S THROUGH THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK, THEIR AMBASSADORIAL WORK ON BEHALF OF THE INDUSTRY, OR BY BEING AN INSPIRATION TO THE REST OF THE MARKET.

HIDDEN BEHIND THE FRONTLINE OF EVERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS ARE STARS THAT KEEP COMPANIES AND THE INDUSTRY GOING. THEY ARE SO CRITICAL, AND YOU OFTEN HEAR THEM REFERRED TO AS THE “GLUE” THAT HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER. OUR “UNSUNG HEROES” AWARDS WERE LAUNCHED EARLIER THIS YEAR TO RECOGNISE THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO OFTEN SLIP UNDER THE RADAR.
