The
Talasey Group, the UK’s leading independent supplier of landscaping solutions
has announced the winners of its annual Landscaping Professional Awards.
Open to

innovative projects that were completed with Talasey Group products during the
course of the year.
Malcolm
Gough, Group Sales and Marketing Director, Talasey Group, said: “Each year
we’re blown away by the quality of entries to our awards and this year was no
different. At the Talasey Group we are committed to supporting the UK’s
professional landscapers and our Landscaping Scheme has been devised with this
focus in mind. The awards are our way of recognising our members’ loyalty and
is also an opportunity to showcase some of their inspirational exterior designs
that have been created with our products over the course of the year.”
Best garden design - overall - Artisan
Landscapes (pictured) achieved a stunning and ultra modern garden with a simple yet highly
effective design using the Talasey Group’s Vitripiazza vitrified porcelain. Oro
from the Di Pietra range was used to transform the garden into a stylish
outdoor living space, inclusive of a contemporary seating area.
With a
second project, runners up in the best garden design category are Decol who
used a combination of products from the Talasey Group’s Natural Paving range.
Decol created a meandering cobble pathway featuring both Ebony and Meadow
cobbles leading to a bespoke Carbon Black limestone patio from Natural Paving’s
Classicstone range.
Best Natural Paving patio – large - Using Old
York sandstone flagstones from the Cragstone range, Decol Construction Ltd
created a beautiful large patio incorporating Natural Paving’s Weathered Ebony
Cobbles, which are naturally split with an antique finish. The completed patio
has a real courtyard look and feel to it. Decol are no strangers to these
awards, having won previously in 2015.
Best Natural Paving patio – small - Using
Pumice flagstones from Natural Paving’s popular Premiastone range and bespoke
Pumice copings, the experts at Evoke Landscape transformed a dull,
inconveniently multi-level garden into a bright, inviting space finished off
with a modern, circular patio.
Best use of Baksteen clay pavers - With a
second win, Evoke Landscape did an excellent job demonstrating how well two
completely different products can work so well together claiming the best use
of Baksteen award. Birch granite flagstones from Natural Paving’s popular
Premiastone collection surround the Chestnut clay pavers from the Baksteen
range, defining a bold pathway at the property’s entrance. This design and
contrast is continued in the back garden, with a circular shape creating the
main focal point.
Offering
customers a versatile hard landscaping option, Baksteen is a range of
cosmopolitan handmade clay pavers and bricks. Imported from the Netherlands the
pavers come in a rectangular format, which can be used to create a brick
effect, herringbone and many more styles. The company has added a new Dutch
Square range for 2018, which offers five new colour options to end-users,
allowing them to achieve design goals without compromise.
Best use of Vitripiazza - Creative Gardens
designed and installed a sleek garden with a subtle and elegant contrast by
using Tempesta and Nuvola single size porcelain flagstones from the Vitripazza
range, Di Pietra. Paving different levels and raising a number of garden beds
gives the project a unique twist and cladding the walls in the same product is
the perfect added touch.
Runner up
in this category, Pickwell Paving impressed with their neat installation of
Mercurio porcelain flags. The simple design and colour complement a property’s
extension and will provide a perfect connection between interior and exterior
once the project is complete. The incorporation of the drainage system as a
design feature was done with precision and is a perfect example of how
necessity and design can meet.
One of the
Talasey Group’s signature ranges, Vitripiazza, has six new additions to its
collection for 2018. These true Italian vitrified porcelain products represent
the highest quality porcelain available on the market. Avorio, Bronzo and
Pantera has been added to the Anno collection and Moda, Elegante and Classe to
its new for 2018 Stile collection. Comprising of a selection of full-bodied
Italian porcelain, Vitripiazza now offers 26 different colours across 8 ranges,
with a wide selection of accessories.
