Awards and Accreditations

Our Accreditations

Providing quality service is important to us as well as to our customers. We’re proud to have received the following endorsements for the standards of work we do and the systems we use:

• Marshalls Register of Approved Landscape Contractors and Driveway Installers (Specialists in enhanced patio, walling, fencing and design)
• BALI British Association of Landscaping Industries
• Constructionline PLC
• The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme

The Marshalls Register of Approved Landscape Contractors and Driveway Installers assures that we use and install Marshalls products following the suggested guidelines. This means that our customers get the most out of the materials we use in their garden transformations and ensures that any work completed will guarantee a lasting impression. Marshalls recommend The Garden Design Co. as professional landscapers.

The BALI accreditation is also obtained by completing a stringent vetting process that requires references from suppliers in the trade as well as from a range of satisfied previous clients who have experienced our landscaping or garden design services.

We hope our work speaks for itself, this level of attention to detail and service wouldn’t be possible without our qualified team of landscapers, designers and dedicated office team.

Training Our Team and Future Landscapers

Not only are we committed to training our team but also sharing our industry experience with the next generation of landscapers and garden designers. We are GoLandscape ambassadors encouraging school children who are at the stage of picking their GCSEs and school leavers to consider landscaping as a career choice.

GoLandscape is an education, skills and careers initiative, designed to inform and inspire new recruits and combat industry issues, including a severe skills shortage. We are very proud to support these efforts with our ambassadorship.

Closer to home, from weekly team meetings discussing self-motivation to quarterly planning days our team are always training. With a coaching for performance approach to our training, not only do we develop skills, but we also coach all of our team to be self-motivated professionals.
