Landscaping for new builds often means you’re gifted with a fresh, untouched garden – a blank canvas just waiting to be transformed. While this is an exciting opportunity, it can also feel daunting. Where do you begin? At Bud Design & Landscaping, we specialise in turning those blank canvases into beautiful, functional gardens that perfectly complement your home.
Here’s how we approach landscaping for new builds, and how you can make the most of your outdoor space.
The first step in any garden transformation is to assess your outdoor space. With new builds, you often start with a uniform plot that lacks character. But that’s the beauty – it’s yours to create! Start by considering how you want to use the garden. Do you need a family-friendly lawn? Perhaps you dream of a contemporary garden with clean lines and modern materials.
At Bud Design & Landscaping, we can help you identify what works best for your needs. Whether it’s a contemporary landscaping approach with sleek patio spaces and minimal planting, or something more traditional with lush greenery and winding paths, your vision is key to making the most of your new garden.
Creating structure in a garden is crucial. Without it, your outdoor space can feel disjointed or too sparse. For residential landscaping, especially in new builds, we often begin by defining areas for different activities, such as dining, relaxing, or planting.
Raised beds, paved areas, and even simple garden borders can help bring order to your space. By using a mix of hard and soft landscaping elements, you can add layers of depth and interest. At Bud Design & Landscaping, we specialise in balancing these elements to ensure your garden feels cohesive and welcoming.
New builds can sometimes come with poor soil quality, which is something we always take into account. To ensure your garden thrives, we’ll assess and improve the soil, making it suitable for long-term planting. In terms of plant selection, it’s important to think not just about what looks good now but how your plants will mature over time.
If you’re leaning towards garden landscaping that embraces low-maintenance planting, we can introduce you to hardy shrubs, perennials, and grasses that will give structure all year round. For those seeking a more vibrant and seasonal look, we’ll guide you through selecting plants that will flourish in your newly built garden.
If you’re seeking a modern feel, contemporary landscaping could be the perfect fit. Think clean, angular lines, polished stone surfaces, and minimalist planting schemes. This approach is ideal for smaller new build gardens, as it maximises space and creates a chic, low-maintenance environment.
At Bud Design & Landscaping, we’ve worked on a variety of contemporary garden designs, incorporating features such as outdoor lighting, sleek water features, and architectural planting. By carefully balancing hard and soft landscaping, we ensure the space feels open, functional, and visually striking.
When designing a new build garden, it’s important to think practically as well as aesthetically. Will you need storage space for garden tools or outdoor furniture? Would a garden room or shed suit your needs? These considerations can be seamlessly integrated into your design without compromising style.
At Bud Design & Landscaping, we believe every element should work together, making your garden not only beautiful but also functional. We’ll make sure that any practical features are incorporated discreetly, enhancing rather than detracting from your garden’s overall design.
We understand that landscaping for new builds can seem overwhelming, but it’s a fantastic opportunity to create something truly unique. Whether you’re envisioning a tranquil haven or a space for entertaining, we’ll bring our expertise in garden landscaping to the table to ensure your garden becomes an extension of your home.
