National award success for local landscaper
East Sussex based Frogheath Landscapes have been awarded the top accolade at the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) Awards 2016.
The company was awarded the APL ‘Supreme Award’ for their work on the project ‘Brede’, landscaping the formal gardens surrounding a rare timber and brick 16th century sheep barn in the Brede Valley. The garden was designed by Marian Boswall of Marian Boswall Landscape Architects
Steven Moody of Frogheath Landscapes said “We are absolutely delighted to have been given this award but it is very much a team effort. Frogheath’s success is largely due to the amazing collaboration between us, the designer, the specialist contractors, the suppliers and of course the gardening team who continue to maintain the high standards of
the garden”
The winners, announced at awards held at The Brewery in London on 4th March 2016, gained national recognition for their achievements and are testament to the high calibre landscaping offered by APL members
