Landscaping Specialists
Transform your new-build plot from bare earth into a beautiful, functional garden. Driveways, patios, turfing, fencing, planting, and full garden design — all from one experienced team across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire.
Why New-Build Gardens Need a Specialist
New-build plots present unique challenges that general landscapers often underestimate. Developers typically leave plots as rough-levelled subsoil — not topsoil. The ground is compacted by heavy machinery, drainage is often poor, and the soil quality is frequently unsuitable for planting or turfing without significant preparation.
We have extensive experience working on new-build developments across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire. We understand how to assess and improve subsoil conditions, install proper drainage, bring in quality topsoil, and create gardens that establish quickly and look great from year one.
Whether you want a simple lawn and patio or a complete garden transformation with driveway, walls, planting, and lighting, we manage the entire project from start to finish.
Proper Ground Preparation
We assess and improve subsoil conditions before any landscaping begins — the foundation of a garden that lasts.
Quality Topsoil Supply
We bring in screened, quality topsoil where required — not the thin, poor-quality layer often left by developers.
Fast Turnaround
We understand new homeowners want their garden sorted quickly. We work efficiently to deliver results without cutting corners.
Developer Rates Available
Working on multiple plots? We offer competitive rates for developers needing gardens landscaped across several properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do new-build gardens need specialist landscaping?
New-build plots are typically left as bare earth or rough levelled ground by the developer. The topsoil is often thin or compacted, and the subsoil may be poor quality fill. Without proper ground preparation, lawns fail, plants struggle, and drainage problems develop. We understand new-build conditions and prepare the ground correctly before any landscaping begins.
When is the best time to landscape a new-build garden?
Ideally within the first 12 months of moving in, before the ground becomes compacted by foot traffic. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for turfing and planting. Driveways and patios can be installed at any time of year. We recommend booking a consultation as soon as you move in to plan the project.
How much does new-build landscaping cost?
Costs vary enormously depending on garden size and the scope of work. A basic new-build garden with turf, fencing, and a patio might start from £3,000–£5,000. A full garden transformation with driveway, patio, planting, and walls could be £10,000–£25,000+. We provide free, detailed written quotes for all new-build projects.
Can you match the brickwork or materials on my new home?
We always try to source materials that complement your home's existing brickwork, render, or cladding. For garden walls and raised beds, we can often source bricks or stone that closely match the developer's materials. We'll advise on this during the consultation.
Do you handle the full project or just individual elements?
We can do either. Many customers ask us to manage the complete garden transformation — driveway, patio, lawn, planting, fencing, and walls — as a single project. Others ask us to tackle specific elements. We're happy to work to your brief and budget.
