You are almost there! This is such an important part of completing your Self-Build project and you should give it the attention it deserves, right from the outset. The exterior look of your home will have been considered at the stages of early groundworks, tree felling, levelling and clearance, but now is the time to add the finishing touches to make it a beautiful haven. Your garden and outside space is an area that you will tend to, grow, develop and nurture for many years to come, but getting the design and layout just as you envisage, might be a job that you want to leave to the professionals. Whether you want to extend your house out into the garden, or create a completely contrasting space, the opportunities are endless. A good, creati ve designer, with the practical resources at hand can make all your garden dreams come true!
