Contemporary Garden Design & Build

Contemporary gardens are about restraint, proportion and precision. We design and build modern outdoor spaces that feel architectural yet welcoming — places that extend your home and enhance how you live outside.

At Tom Child Landscapes, contemporary garden projects often feature clean paving layouts, subtle level changes, bespoke structures and carefully chosen planting that softens the geometry without cluttering the space. Every detail is considered, from drainage and lighting to material junctions and finishes.

We regularly work with porcelain paving, natural stone, concrete detailing, timber features and integrated seating, combining strong design with high-quality construction. Planting schemes tend to be structured and textural rather than floral, creating year-round interest with minimal maintenance.

Whether you’re looking to create a sleek entertaining space, a calm garden retreat or a modern family garden with clear zones, we tailor each design to suit your home, lifestyle and surroundings.
