France+Associates have agreed a partnership with Rob Hardy & Co, award winning landscape designers based in Yorkshire. The practice was declared winners of the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show in 2021 and have since then grown from strength, increasing their number of staff and adding a host of fantastic projects to their growing project list. 

The partnership means that F+A will now be able to offer a broader scope of service to both existing and new clients. F+A’s highlight to clients is that the provision of landscape services will in normal circumstances, not cost their clients any more than their normal fee agreement with F+A. The specialist inclusive designers have been working alongside Rob Hardy & Co for the past few years on projects where fully inclusive, sensory and play gardens have been created for clients with mobility, access or sensory needs. 

Jonathan France, Managing Director of F+A commented: “This has been a long time coming, it’s something we have jointly worked towards with Rob and his team for the past 2 years. It is fantastic to be able to tell clients that we’ve broadened both our service levels and experience with the involvement of Rob Hardy & Co. Rob’s ethos as a practice share many values with F+A, providing high quality and a skilled level of service to private clients. Our focus has always been on providing a high quality level of service to set us apart from our competitors, to continue to strive to improve customer experience, which we’ve done over the past 12 months with the ability to now immerse clients fully in their projects through the use of Virtual Reality, something that can now be done in the comfort of their own living rooms. This is certainly a further step by partnering with such a fantastic landscaping team, to ensure that not only their home is suitable, their garden and wellbeing areas are as well. We look forward to continuing to work with Rob and his team”.   

Rob Hardy, Garden Designer commented: “We’re delighted to be partnering with F+A and are excited to expand their service offering in this way.  We understand the benefits that outside space can bring to an individual’s health and wellbeing.  This collaboration means that the design of a client’s garden can be considered right from the start of a project, helping to maximise living space through the sensitive integration of internal and external areas of the home.  F+A share our commitment to understanding the individual needs of each client and we look forward to working with them to provide high quality solutions and a great customer experience.”
