Last week we wrapped up our 2025 Landscaping Roadshow across Lawford, Ipswich and Colchester, and what a fantastic start to landscaping season.
The branches were buzzing with trade professionals, DIY customers and suppliers coming together for a brilliant morning of live product demos, exclusive deals, games, prizes and giveaways.
📍 Lawford — Thursday 20th March
We kicked things off at Lawford, and the atmosphere set the tone for the rest of the series. The yard filled quickly, suppliers were set up and ready, and customers wasted no time taking advantage of the exclusive roadshow deals.
The conversations around upcoming landscaping projects were in full swing, and it was fantastic to see so much engagement around new products and techniques. It was great to see so many familiar faces and plenty of new ones too.
📍 Ipswich — Thursday 27th March
Ipswich delivered another brilliant morning. The weather held, the bacon rolls went down well, and the supplier stands were busy from start to finish. There was a real focus on driveway solutions, porcelain trends and hard landscaping innovations, with hands-on discussions and practical advice shared throughout the morning. Roger the cat made an appearance and kept a close watch on snacks.
📍 Colchester — Thursday 3rd April
We rounded off the Landscaping Roadshow at Colchester, and it didn’t disappoint. The team loved seeing contractors catching up with suppliers directly, asking technical questions and getting first-hand advice on product ranges. It is going to be a busy Spring/Summer!
A huge thank you to the brilliant suppliers who came along to support Collier & Catchpole’s 2025 Landscaping Roadshow.

What made this year’s Landscaping Roadshow special wasn’t just the products on display, it was the sense of community across Lawford, Ipswich and Colchester. We saw contractors planning their spring and summer projects, DIY customers getting expert advice face-to-face, strong supplier support with valuable technical insight, and plenty of genuine networking and relationship building throughout the mornings.
It’s always great to step away from the counter and have proper conversations about upcoming jobs, new materials and what’s trending in landscaping. To everyone who attended, thank you. Whether you came for the deals, the demos, the food or just a catch-up, we really appreciate your continued support.
