The Association of Professional Landscapers (The APL)

We are proud to be full members of The Association of Professional Landscapers.

Official APL website www.landscaper.org.uk
The Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) set the benchmark for best practice and professionalism within the landscape industry.

The APL was founded in 1995 as a specialist national group within the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) and now represents the UK’s best individual landscape professionals and their companies. The APL provides advice, education, research, public relations, benchmarking indexes and representation services to its members and is the only landscaping scheme operator of TrustMark, a Government endorsed initiative promoting professional trades people to consumers. The APL is made up of around 180 companies who design, construct and maintain gardens and open spaces for domestic and commercial customers. The Association is passionate about supporting members and helping them to provide the highest quality designed and constructed gardens to their customers.

All APL Registered Members undergo a rigorous annual inspection process via independent inspectors who are experienced in the landscaping industry. Registered members must also provide at least six satisfactory customer references of completed work within the past two years, supply a minimum of two satisfactory trade references, maintain full Employer Liability Insurance cover, maintain full Public Liability Insurance cover, follow the agreed  complaints resolution procedure and offer customers an independently backed warranty. In addition to this, in order to encourage continuing good performance, the Association demands that members be committed to continuous business development and are actively involved in staff training and development.

For quality and piece of mind use an APL contractor.
