With the dust barely settled on this year’s BALI National Landscape Awards, attention across the industry is already turning to what comes next – and to a landmark moment in landscaping history.
The 2026 BALI National Landscape Awards will mark 50 years of recognising excellence across landscape design, construction and maintenance. As the largest landscaping awards in Europe, the milestone year is expected to shine a spotlight not only on outstanding projects, but on the evolution of the profession itself.
The 2025 Awards once again demonstrated the calibre of work being delivered across the UK, with Surrey-based The Outdoor Room taking the Grand Award for its Hawthorn House project. Judges praised the scheme for its technical sophistication, attention to detail and delivery under complex conditions – a reminder that the Awards celebrate professionalism and project management as much as aesthetics.
Looking ahead, the 50th anniversary year offers businesses a rare opportunity to align themselves with half a century of industry leadership. Entry places companies alongside the defining names of UK landscaping and provides independent, peer-reviewed recognition that continues to carry weight with clients, specifiers and procurement teams.
With categories covering domestic, commercial and public realm projects, as well as biodiversity-led and maintenance work, the Awards remain one of the most effective platforms for showcasing quality, credibility and expertise.
