Setting up your outdoor space
A new build leaves you with a bare, compacted block and a long list of outdoor jobs. These guides cover getting it right in the right order: establishing a lawn that survives summer, setting up the yard, keeping surfaces clean, and building an outdoor space you actually use.
Guides in this collection
Fixing compacted builder’s soil, choosing turf or seed, and watering a new lawn in.
The right order for a new yard: drainage, fencing, lawn, paths and storage.
The right pressure for driveways, paving, decking and render, and what to never blast.
Shade, weatherproof furniture, heating and cooling for an alfresco you use year round.
Sponsored · why?
Tackling the yard yourself? Here's the practical outdoor gear owners reach for. You buy direct from the supplier at their price.
