New-build garden transformations: what's involved

What the service is

A complete transformation of a new build garden: sorting out drainage and levels, then building patios, lawns, raised planters, pergolas, decking and borders, all designed together.

Who it's for

Owners of new build homes whose gardens are bare, boggy or basic, and who want a finished garden without managing several trades.

When it makes sense

The sooner the better, before you spend on fixes that don't deal with the ground underneath.

Why it needs care

New build plots often hide builders' rubble and heavily compacted soil, so drainage and ground preparation matter more than anything else.

What happens if it's left

The same problems come up on new build plots again and again.

Waterlogged turf

Thin turf laid straight onto compacted clay holds water and struggles to grow.

Tiny patios

The patio supplied is often too small for a table and chairs.

Blank, overlooked gardens

Plain fences and open views leave little privacy or interest.

Common mistakes we see

  • ✕ Re-turfing over compacted ground without fixing drainage.
  • ✕ Adding features one at a time without an overall plan.
  • ✕ Choosing paving that doesn't suit the house.
