Bradstone has announced the winners of its national installer awards scheme, celebrating the achievements of its Assured members over the last 12 months.

 The awards recognise landscapers who have demonstrated excellent levels of workmanship, design expertise and customer service with categories including the prestigious Installer of the Year, Best Patio Transformation and Best Driveway Transformation.

 Following entry nominations from both installers and their clients at the end of last year, a judging panel including TV gardener, David Domoney, and Professional Builder editor, Terry Smith, selected deserving winners from each category.
