Tonbridge’s ‘immersive’ landscaping centre nominated for national award

Located on Priory Road in Tonbridge, Kent, Parker Building Supplies’ landscaping centre has been shortlisted for The Builders’ Merchants Awards 2023, which acknowledges the tremendous achievements from across the industry.

The expansive 5,000 sq feet landscaping area, which includes numerous separate landscaping areas set within beautifully planted borders with features such as water exhibits, as well as a sales office offering extensive samples, is in the running for ‘Hard Landscaping Display of the Year’.

The finished design, developed in collaboration with Global Stone, was born from meticulous research and created in response to Kent customers’ desires for an immersive experience.

It features a mix of materials, products and zoned areas, with aggregates and other heavy build materials cleverly incorporated.

All accessories required for a typical landscaping project – edging, setts, walling, channels, composite decking, vast ranges of decorative aggregate, as well as natural stone, porcelain and cladding – are also showcased.

Adam Beck, branch manager at Parker Building Supplies, Tonbridge, said: “It is such an impressive set-up that we attract landscapers and customers from far and wide. Seeing the application of the vast product ranges in a ‘real-life’ setting is a key draw for customers.

“Gaining this UK recognition shows that hard work, innovation and creativity pay off. We will continue to grow and innovate, creating inspiring landscaping displays and working with leading suppliers, such as Global Stone, to provide quality products with varying price ranges to suit all.”

Open to trade and the public, the space has been built to provide level access so that it can accommodate those requiring the use of a mobility aid.
