Transforming Your Somerset Garden into a Place You’ll Love

Somerset’s gentle rolling hills, historic villages and lush green spaces deserve outdoor areas that both honour the county’s character and meet your family’s needs. At newlands stone and build, we design and install bespoke landscapes throughout Somerset that feel naturally at home, whether you’re in Wells admiring medieval architecture or enjoying the Levels near Bridgwater.

Our professional team combines local expertise with quality materials to deliver gardens that flourish through every season. From inviting patios and level lawns to wildlife-friendly planting schemes, every element is chosen to enhance your property and enrich your outdoor lifestyle.

Why a Tailored Approach Makes All the Difference

Attempting a generic “one-size-fits-all” garden renovation often results in disappointment: puddles where you want a dry seating area, plants that struggle in heavy clay soil, or colour palettes that clash with your home’s stonework. We begin by listening closely to your vision—do you dream of hosting summer gatherings, creating a peaceful retreat, or simply boosting kerb appeal? Armed with that understanding and our deep knowledge of Somerset’s microclimates, we develop a design that blends functionality, beauty and low-maintenance performance.

Every project reflects three core principles:

• Contextual Design - Gardens in the Mendip Hills call for sturdy, frost-resistant plants and natural stone patios, while properties near the Levels benefit from raised beds and reliable drainage. Our scheme always honours the landscape you live in.
• Personal Lifestyle - Whether you’re an avid entertainer, a keen gardener or seeking a safe play space for children, your daily habits shape our proposals. Walkways lead guests effortlessly from patio to lawn, and dedicated zones make chores and relaxation equally enjoyable.
• Sustainability - We champion permeable surfaces, rainwater harvesting and native planting to work with Somerset’s seasons, not against them. Eco-friendly choices not only reduce your carbon footprint but also lower ongoing maintenance and water bills.

Bringing Your Vision to Life

From the first conversation to the final flourish of planting, our process keeps you informed and involved at every step:

On-Site Consultation

A free visit to your property allows us to assess soil conditions, sunlight patterns and existing features. We discuss your goals, budget and preferred materials—from locally quarried sandstone to porcelain paving that mirrors regional hues.

Detailed Design Proposal

Within days, you receive a clear layout plan and mood board illustrating plant selections, hardscape finishes and lighting ideas. We adjust proposals until you’re completely satisfied, ensuring there are no surprises when work begins.

Professional Installation

Our City & Guilds-qualified landscapers handle groundwork, drainage, hard landscaping and soft landscaping with precision. You’ll see smooth progress as patios take shape, edging is installed, and plants are positioned for maximum impact.

Thorough Handover and Care Advice

Once your new garden is in place, we walk you through every feature, showing you how to maintain paving seals, prune hedges and nurture seasonal blooms. Optional maintenance packages keep your landscape looking its best through winter storms and summer heat.

Real Results, Real Satisfaction

Homeowners across Taunton, Frome and Yeovil have seen the difference a professionally designed garden can make. One client in Glastonbury noted how their new paved terrace transformed a muddy slope into a comfortable outdoor dining room, while another in Bridgwater found that carefully placed native shrubs attracted butterflies and bees they hadn’t seen before.

These successes aren’t luck—they stem from our commitment to quality materials, attention to detail and a genuine passion for Somerset’s natural heritage. Every patio slab is checked for level; every plant is selected for its hardiness. When we promise lasting beauty, we deliver.

Practical Tips to Keep Your Garden Thriving

Even the best-built landscape needs thoughtful care. Here are a few expert suggestions to help your new Somerset garden flourish:

• Maintain Moisture with Mulch - A 5 cm layer of bark or compost around borders locks in moisture during dry spells and suppresses weeds. Reapply in spring to refresh your beds.
• Stay Ahead of Drainage Issues - After heavy rain, inspect drains and soakaways to ensure they’re free from debris. Clear blockages promptly to avoid standing water on patios or lawns.
• Schedule Pruning at the Right Time - Late winter is ideal for trimming hedges and perennials, encouraging vigorous spring growth. Use clean, sharp tools to make smooth cuts.
• Choose Plants Suited to Somerset - Native favourites like foxgloves, hellebores, and Ceanothus thrive in local soils and support pollinators. Ornamental grasses add structure through winter and sway beautifully in summer breezes.
• Protect Hardscapes from Freeze–Thaw Damage - In cold snaps, small cracks can expand. Seal or repair paving joints in autumn to prevent more extensive repairs later.
