The new-build garden problem
Ingleby Barwick's gardens arrived the same way: an inch of topsoil over compacted builder's rubble, a turf roll laid on top, and fencing the wind already owns. The transformation is the estate's signature job, and it starts underground: rubble out, soil imported and improved, levels set, then the patio, lawn and fencing go in properly. Turfing that skips the excavation fails within two seasons on these plots, which is why every quote itemises the groundwork.
Typical projects: a family garden with patio, real lawn and safe play space (£4,000 to £9,000), or the full designed makeover with zones, lighting and planting (£8,000 to £15,000).
Compact plots, clever design
IB plots are not large, and the good ones are designed, not decorated: diagonal sightlines to stretch the space, one strong feature rather than five small ones, vertical planting, and seating where the evening sun actually lands. A design visit (from £500) pays for itself on compact plots more than anywhere else.
Fencing the wind owns
The estate's open aspect means fencing takes real weather: concrete posts and decent panels (£600 to £2,000 for the typical plot) end the yearly panel lottery that builder-grade fencing guarantees.
