The APL is inviting entries for the APL Awards 2012 – which are celebrating their 16th year. Sponsored by Bradstone, the awards provide an opportunity to celebrate the best in British landscaping and enable winning landscapers to gain national recognition for their achievements.
The 2012 APL Awards include an additional two categories with the projects under £100,000 split down into five bands – recognising the variation between schemes of different values and providing additional opportunities for smaller businesses to enter.

APL chair and chair of the judging panel Mark Gregory said, “The reputation of these Awards is growing year on year due to the ever increasing quality of workmanship. The 2011 Awards attracted some fantastic entries despite being a challenging year for many in the trade and we hope to build on this with the 2012 Awards.”
