December 2010: Best Patio Transformation under £5000

In December of this year we entered one of our patio transformations into the Marshalls regional competitions. All of the Marshalls Registered contractors can put forward their installations into these competitions. On the 11th December 2010 Marshalls hosted a big meeting where all of the contractors where invited to discuss new products, landscaping ideas and much more. This is also where they announce the winners of their competitions. It was with great pleasure that we accepted the award for best patio transformation under £5000.
