Landscape Blog - July > September 2021

Best Use of Hard Landscaping Materials - CED Stone

CED Stone Group sponsored awards for Best Use of Hard Landscaping Materials in this year's show. The winning student projects were awarded by Managing Director Giles Heap.

Winner of the undergraduate award was Grace Allman (BSc (Hons) Landscape and Garden Design), and Giles said of Grace's project - 'Quite simply, Grace’s selection of materials for the hard landscaping elements of this scheme are spot on'.

The winning postgraduate project was by Keely Williams (MA Landscape Architecture), which Giles described as 'a scheme that deserves to be implemented and would be a credit to any school'.
