Esse Landscapes are very proud to have won two awards at the recent APL (Association of Professional Landscapers) Awards, held in London. These were a highly sought-after “Best in Category” in the £175,000-£250,000 category and a Gold medal in the £100,000-£175,000 category.
Both gardens were included in the shortlist published in November, but the final accolades were announced at the gala dinner last week. We are delighted for the whole team, and also for designer Louisa Bell of The Lovely Garden.
The judges’ commented, “The cantilevered deck was brilliantly engineered, the use of planting and detailing on the garden was delightful. A well-deserved award with top notch landscaping.”
The winners, announced at the awards event sponsored by Bradstone, held at The Brewery in London on Friday 18th March 2022, gained national recognition for their achievements and are a testament to the high calibre landscaping offered by APL members.
