It was a beautiful house on an ugly site. Now it's a beautiful property.
Building a dream home took months. But even once the house was finished, it sat surrounded by bare sand, unfinished garden beds and every sign of an active building site.
The challenge?
Turning a stunning new build into a finished property worthy of the home itself.
The brief
Create a warm, welcoming landscape with a striking feature tree, low-maintenance planting, and practical outdoor spaces the owners could enjoy for years to come.
Delivered across three site visits over three weeks, the transformation turned a construction site into a beautiful property the owners are delighted with.
What we delivered
Site prep and structural landscaping: clearing, earthworks, Corten steel edging, plant trainers and a compacted base for turf
Turf, planting and finishing: two areas of artificial turf, a Teddy Bear Magnolia feature tree, more than 40 native plants and succulents, fresh mulch and Rainbow Quartz decorative stone

“It feels welcoming, it feels warm and it is a place that we are very proud of.”
“It's our little oasis. At the end of each day, to come home to this and enjoy this new home with this beautiful garden. I would have no reservations whatsoever recommending them to friends and family. A pain-free experience, and a very pleasant one at that. We will certainly be happy to work with Two Gloves again in the future.”
