New House Garden
Brief
This project shows how even the most basic new build garden can be transformed into a welcoming, practical and stylish outdoor space.
When our client purchased their first home, the garden was simply bare ground with no planting, structure or usable features. Like many new build properties, the outside space felt overlooked and uninspiring.
The Design & Build
We reimagined the garden to create flow, privacy and interest, using:
- Curved brick walls and steps to add structure and character.
- A central circular lawn framed by soft planting beds for year-round colour.
- A timber pergola and curved path to guide movement through the garden.
- Raised beds for homegrown herbs and vegetables, adding practicality.
- Boundary planting to soften hard edges and create a greater sense of privacy.
The Result
The completed garden is a perfect example of a first-time buyer’s garden transformation. Once a blank, overlooked space, it is now a beautiful, low-maintenance retreat with defined areas for relaxation, entertaining and planting.
This before-and-after project shows how Butler Landscapes can unlock the potential of even the smallest new build gardens, creating designs that are both functional and timeless.
