New build garden transformation

The clients, a young professional couple owning their first home, wanted to create their dream garden to enjoy for years to come. Looking to create an informal / cottagey look that would blend with their more modern house, their wish list included a good sized seating / dining area, a generous lawn, somewhere to grow fruit & veg and softening overlooking properties.

A new build property in Steeton, near Skipton North Yorkshire. This was a blank canvas, quite literally – turf and a few paving flags – so typical of new built homes, a garden with no character. The property was on the corner of a new property development built on former fields, adjacent to an existing residential area.
