Most new-build gardens are handed over as compacted subsoil under a thin layer of topsoil, with a small slab by the back door. We break up the compaction, sort the drainage, then build the patio, lawn, beds and boundaries; a full new-build garden typically costs £15,000–£35,000.

Check the deeds first

Many new-build estates have covenants or planning conditions on front gardens, boundary heights and open-plan frontages. We check them with you before designing anything that faces the road.

Why does turf fail on new-build gardens?
Because the ground underneath is compacted subsoil and rubble. Breaking it up and importing proper topsoil is the step that makes a lawn last.
