The Arboricultural Association - Approved

The ARB Approved Contractor scheme offers a recognised benchmark for arboricultural contracting throughout the UK and Ireland. ARB Approved Contractor is also of benefit in the domestic sector as a quality mark assuring the client of good quality tree care undertaken safely and efficiently.

In order to become an AARC, individuals must first reach the prerequisite level in qualifications and study and also be able to demonstrate a clear understanding and working knowledge of arboriculture and how it is applied practically in a variety of situations. The awarding of AARC status to an industry professional – whether a consultant or, for example, a tree officer – is made following a rigorous assessment process: all applicants must meet the required business and professional standards.

 

APL - Association of Professional Landscapers – Accredited Member

The Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) comprises accredited landscape companies who design, build and maintain gardens throughout the UK. The rigorous inspection process to join is one of the toughest within the industry. Along with the initial inspection, each member is re inspected regularly to ensure each member has up to date insurances, complies with health and safety law and their quality of work is to the highest possible. The APL is the only landscaping scheme operator of TrustMark, a Government endorsed initiative that promotes professional trades to consumers.

Transform have been accredited members of APL since 2021. In that time, we have won one Gardening award, and have been finalists for 4. We are also Finalists in 5 different categories in the 2023 awards, winners to be announced March 24.
