APL Awards 2025 – Best in Catergory

We are thrilled to announce that Kingston Landscape Group won Best in Category at the recent Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) Awards for our Commercial Build project!

Huge congratulations to all of our team, and thanks to the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) BURY HILL LANDSCAPE SUPPLIES LIMITED PAD landscapes Woodscape Ltd.

Eton House was a long-vacant office building situated in the heart of Richmond, in an area where quality office spaces are hard to come by.
At the beginning of Stage 1, PAD landscapes was brought on board to explore feasible options for converting the unused parking area into a vibrant Office Garden for future tenants, alongside new street tree planting and upper garden terraces.

The challenge was to retain as much of the existing building’s fabric and structure as possible, with the goal of preserving embedded carbon and reducing the environmental impacts usually linked to redevelopment. Furthermore, being located within the Central Richmond Conservation Area, the proposal needed to be respectful and sensitive to its historical context.

Kingston Landscape Group worked closely with Phil Allen from PAD landscapes to transform the old car park into a breathtaking new office garden, and we are thrilled with the final result. The project featured 400m² of new garden space, which included 1,800 plants across 92 different species. We also planted 35 new trees and created an impressive 25m² custom vertical garden.
