Association of Professional Landscapers ( APL )
The APL comprises accredited landscape companies
who design, build and maintain gardens. The
inspection process to join is the industry’s toughest.
After initial inspection, members are inspected
annually to ensure that they have the correct
insurances, comply with H&S law and their work is to
the highest standard. The APL is the only landscaping
scheme operator of Trustmark, a government
endorsed initiative that promotes professional trades
to consumers. www.landscaper.org.uk
