There are benefits to landscaping while working on a brand new home. When you excavate your foundations, you can save the soil to create features in your garden. This could also save you disposal costs. This will work best if you plan any big features in advance, so you know what you need to save. It’s also thinking are you planning a pond/pool? This could be excavated at the same time as the build. It’s easier to get access to the rear of the property with machinery before the house is completed. You’ll also want to spend a few weeks getting to know what your site is like at different times of the day so that you can plan how you are going to use different areas of the garden. You might want a sunny spot in the daytime and an al fresco dining area enjoying the last of the day’s sun.
