Everything you need to know about landscaping your new build garden

New build gardens are handed over as bare soil — or, if you're lucky, a thin layer of basic turf that turns to mud the first time it rains. The fencing is standard panel, the borders are empty, and the patio you imagined is a long way from reality.

But here's the thing: a blank canvas is actually exciting. You get to design the garden you want from scratch, with no old features to work around. Whether you want to DIY it over a few weekends or get a landscaper in to transform it properly — we've got you covered.
