British Association of Landscape Industries National Landscape Award winners revealed
The National winners of the 2024 National Landscape 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."
He added,
"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."
The National Landscape Awards ceremony will be held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, Park Lane in London on 6 December. This year's host is award-winning comedian, actor and writer Aurie Styla. As well as a variety of TV appearances, Aurie is also an accomplished voice actor and is the worldwide voice of Pintrest. He now regularly performs stand-up comedy in UK, Europe, North America and UAE.

We extend our gratitude to our committed and loyal sponsors, including headline sponsor Green-tech, for their continued support, as well as our Special Award winner sponsors CQ Business Management Software, Makita UK, and Springbridge Direct.
Congratulations to all the 2024 National winners, and good luck on the day when the winners of the Principal and Special Awards, and the revered Grand Award, will be announced.
