What Our Clients Say
Your Garden, Completely Transformed
Full design to build landscaping projects across Berkshire — from initial concept through to the day you step outside and see it finished.
A Garden Built to the Standard of the Home It Belongs To
Most gardens are an afterthought. Ours aren't.
At Natures Canvas Landscaping, a full garden build starts with a conversation about how you actually want to use your outside space and ends with a garden that looks, feels, and functions exactly as you imagined. Every element is designed and built by us, from the groundwork up, using materials chosen to last and a finish that holds up year after year.
Steven Carlucci, our BSc-qualified designer with 18 years of experience across Berkshire, leads every project personally. He visits your garden, a full 3D design can be provided so you can see it before anything is built, and then delivers it on site, on time, and to the standard the design promised.
Whether you want a complete garden transformation, a new patio and planting scheme, a multi-level family garden, or something bespoke that doesn't fit a category, we build it.
What a Full Garden Build Includes
Every project is different. Here's what we typically handle end to end.
3D Design and Visualisation
Before any groundwork begins, you can see a detailed 3D render of your garden. The design covers layout, materials, levels, planting, and any features all rendered in your actual garden.
Fencing and Boundary Treatments
New fencing, gates, and boundary treatments specified and installed as part of the wider design not bolted on at the end.
Patios and Hard Landscaping
Natural stone, porcelain, limestone, and block paving laid to proper falls and finished to a high standard. We design the layout, handle the groundwork, and leave a surface that lasts..
Decking
Hardwood and composite decking designed and built as part of the garden layout, with the right structural base and a finish that suits the wider space.
Levels, Terracing, and Drainage
Sloping gardens, difficult ground, and poor drainage are areas where Steven's engineering background comes into its own. We assess, plan, and build the right solution whether that's terracing, retaining walls, or a full drainage installation.
Sleepers and Raised Beds
Oak sleeper retaining walls, raised planting beds, and feature borders — used structurally and decoratively across a wide range of project types.
Turfing and Artificial Grass
Real turf laid on properly prepared ground, or premium artificial grass installed with the right sub-base. Both finished to a clean edge with mowing strips or border treatments where needed.
Full Project Management
We manage the whole build from start to finish. You get regular updates, a clear timeline agreed upfront, and a single point of contact throughout.
How a Full Garden Build Works
-
Site Consultation - Steven visits your garden, talks through how you want to use the space, and assesses the ground conditions. No obligation.
-
3D Design - We can produce a full 3D render of your proposed garden, drawn to scale in your actual space. You review it, suggest changes, and sign off the design before any work is priced or agreed.
-
Written Quote - Once the design is agreed, you receive a written quote that breaks down exactly what's included, materials, labour and any groundwork. No ballpark figures, no surprises.
-
Build - Our team carries out the full build, managed by Steven throughout. You're kept updated at every stage, and any decisions that arise on site are discussed with you before anything changes.
-
Handover When the build is complete, Steven walks you through the finished garden, explains any maintenance the planting or surfaces need, and makes sure everything is exactly as agreed.

What Our Clients Say
"The whole process was brilliant from start to finish. Steven generated some amazing graphics to see our ideas come to life before we agreed on the work. There were no extra costs in addition to what was originally quoted and the team that did the work were fantastic and super efficient. Would highly recommend and am so happy to have such a wonderful garden to enjoy in our new build." Jess, Wokingham
"Great home office. Well built. Steven managed all additional contractors as part of the build." Dom, Bracknell
"We hired Nature's Canvas for a large work in our garden and couldn't be happier!
The work consisted of designing and building a bespoke garden office and shed that fit the unique shape of our back garden, a patio, a broader back garden restyling and a front garden reshape/tiling.
Steven and his team did an amazing work all around, from design and advice to execution. Very communicative in every step on the way, and flexible as needed.
Finally, all done at a very competitive price, best in our quote search.
100% recommended." Ioannis, Reading
Complete Garden Transformations — Common Questions
Q: How much does a full garden build cost in Berkshire?
A: Garden build costs vary considerably depending on the size of the garden, the materials chosen, and the complexity of the groundwork. A straightforward patio and planting scheme starts from a few thousand pounds; a complete garden transformation involving terracing, hard landscaping, planting, and features can run to £40,000–£60,000 or more for a larger space. The most accurate way to get a figure is a site visit with Steven, he'll assess your garden and come back with a written quote that sets out exactly what's included.
Q: Do you handle the full project or just parts of it?
A: We handle the full project from design through to completion, design, groundwork, hard landscaping, soft landscaping, planting, and any features you want included. We project manage the whole build so you have a single point of contact throughout.
Q: How long does a full garden build take?
A: Timescales vary depending on the scope of the project. A patio and turfing project might take one to two weeks on site; a full garden transformation with terracing, multiple surfaces, and planting can take four to eight weeks and larger project can be months. Steven provides a clear timeline with your written quote before any work is agreed.
Q: Do I need to have a design in mind before I get in touch?
A: No, most clients come to us with a general idea of what they want (more space, a patio, a low-maintenance garden) rather than a detailed brief. We visit your garden, asks the right questions, and translates what you want into a full 3D design. You don't need to know the specifics; that's what the design process is for.
Q: Do you work on new build gardens?
A: Yes. New build gardens often handed over as bare plots are a significant part of our work. We've completed full landscaping projects on new build properties across Berkshire, including large-scale groundworks, soil removal, and builds from scratch on plots with no existing garden.
Q: What areas of Berkshire do you cover for garden builds?
A: We cover Wokingham, Bracknell, Reading, Finchampstead, Sandhurst, Crowthorne, Camberley, Tadley, Hook, Maidenhead, Marlow, and the surrounding Berkshire area. Call us on 07880 888 084 if you're not sure whether we reach you.
