Natural Paving Products, one of the suppliers of natural stone hard landscaping products involved in the Ethical Trading Initiative’s Rajasthan sandstone project (see NSS February 2014), invited its customers to enter their projects in its own Awards scheme.

Natural Paving Products, based in Doncaster, Lincolnshire, recognises the quality of the work of its professional landscaper customers by inviting them to become members of its Approved Installer Scheme. Those who do are then invited to submit their work for the Members’ Quality Awards.

Just over 50 projects completed last year were entered and in January Natural Paving Products sat its judges down to choose the best. After tough deliberations, the three Awards were presented:

• The Best Patio Award to Greenbelt Landscapes
• The Best Driveway Award to TDS Paving & Landscaping
• The Best Overall Design to Cotswold Paving & Landscaping.

The winners receive cheques for £500, runners-up a cheque for £250 and Highly Commended £100. Pictures of some of the projects are on the new website.
