The National winners of the 2024 NationalLandscape Awards have been announced.
Following a summer of site visits to all UK based project entries, and three
days of discussion, deliberation and debate by the judges, who were joined by
Chief Executive Wayne Grills and Events Project Manager Emily Feeney, 79
National Awards have been presented to 56 members across 24 categories.
As has come to be expected of Accredited members, the level of quality and
complexity of many of the schemes entered in this year’s Awards has once again
highlighted the commitment of members to continue driving the industry forward,
while increasingly considering the environmental impact.
Head judge, John Melmoe said: "Each of this year's National Landscape
Award winners exemplifies outstanding quality and craftsmanship. The attention
to detail in these schemes is truly remarkable, with every element thoughtfully
executed to create cohesive and inspiring outdoor spaces.
“To win any Award at this level, with such a high standard of vetting in
place, is a true testament for any business or individual that receives one.
The level of innovation and the skill demonstrated is evidence of the
exceptional talent in our industry. These projects set a benchmark for
excellence."
Wayne Grills said: "These schemes, and our members, showcase meticulous
attention to detail, innovative design, and a profound respect for the natural
environment. Each project reflects the highest standards of the craft,
resulting in landscapes that are both beautiful and enduring. The dedication,
endeavour and skill of the teams behind these winning entries are truly
commendable, making this year's winners a standout in the industry.
"The winners in the Employer Excellence and Supplier Exceptional
Service categories have also demonstrated an unwavering commitment to
excellence, not only in the quality of their work and products but in how they
support their employees and clients. Their dedication to fostering positive
work environments and delivering outstanding service is truly commendable and
exemplifies the best practices and demonstrates leadership in our
industry."

award-winning comedian, actor and writer Aurie Styla. As well as a variety of
