News just in! We are celebrating a standout achievement at the 2025 APLD International Landscape Design Awards, taking home three major honours!


One Designer, Three Wins


At this year’s APLD International Landscape Design Awards, our founder and designer David Keegan received two Silver Awards in the Residential #3 (Over $100,000) category for a contemporary family garden in Monton, Greater Manchester, and large-scale elements garden in Alderley Edge, Cheshire East.


He also earned a Silver Award in the Specialty Projects category for his work on the sensory garden at Hollingworth Lake Country Park in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

About the Winning Gardens


The award-winning projects showcase David and our team's commitment to create outdoor spaces that work for both people and the planet.


The judges’ feedback highlights the designer’s seamless blend of contemporary design, ecological plantings, and thoughtful spatial organisation. Planting diversity, layering, and attention to seasonal interest were noted as creating strong connections to nature and providing habitats for wildlife, whilst hardscape materials were commended for complementing the architecture and surroundings.
