What we do
Landscaping for Show Homes and Sales Areas
From individual show home gardens to complete sales-centre displays, our team can design and construct landscaping around the areas prospective purchasers see first when visiting a development.
Our previous projects include show home gardens, landscaped sales displays, communal seating areas, pedestrian routes, access ramps and landscaping around sales cabin car parks.
The landscaping around a show home or sales cabin has a different role from many other areas of a development.
These spaces are designed to be seen and used by prospective purchasers, sales teams and visitors. As a result, they often need to combine strong presentation with practical considerations such as access, seating and routes between sales cabins and show homes.
Millstone Landscapes has experience designing and building landscaping specifically for these customer-facing parts of residential developments.
Our work can include the garden immediately surrounding a show home as well as landscaping across the wider sales complex.
Scope & approach
The right approach for your site.

Show Home Garden Design and Construction
A show home garden needs to complement the property while making good use of the available space.
Millstone Landscapes can design and construct show home landscaping around the individual characteristics of the plot.
For one show home project in Lancing, the garden needed to accommodate ground that sloped uphill. The scheme incorporated a timber-decked seating area close to the house, creating a usable outdoor space within the sloping garden.
This type of site-specific approach allows the landscaping to respond to the layout and levels of the individual development rather than relying on the same treatment for every plot.
Sales Cabin and Sales Centre Landscaping
Sales cabins are often among the first places visitors encounter when arriving at a new development.
Millstone Landscapes can design and build landscaped areas around sales cabins, helping integrate the sales facility with the surrounding development.
One existing Millstone project was requested at short notice and involved designing and constructing the area in front of a sales cabin within four days.
The scheme included disabled ramp access into the sales cabin as well as timber planter units around the sales car park, extending the landscaping beyond the immediate entrance area.
Creating Complete Sales Displays
Show home landscaping does not have to be limited to individual gardens.
Millstone Landscapes has delivered wider sales displays incorporating several landscaped features.
At Flansham Park for David Wilson Homes, the project involved creating a nature pond with a water fountain in front of an avenue of show homes. A timber footbridge with uplighting provided a walkway between the sales office and the show homes.
The completed sales display was delivered on time and within budget.
Projects of this kind demonstrate how different elements of landscaping can be brought together across the wider customer-facing area of a development.
Communal Areas Around Sales Complexes
Where several sales facilities occupy the same area, landscaping can also be used to create shared spaces for visitors.
Millstone Landscapes previously designed and constructed a communal area in front of a sales complex for two clients.
The finished area provided visitors with somewhere to sit and look through sales literature during the summer months.
This demonstrates that sales-area landscaping can be designed around how the space will actually be used, rather than focusing solely on appearance.
Designed Around the Individual Site
Every sales complex presents different requirements.
The available space, site levels, pedestrian routes, vehicle access and relationship between the sales office and show homes can all influence the finished scheme.
Millstone Landscapes can begin with a site visit before developing an appropriate landscape design for the area.
Previous projects demonstrate our ability to respond to requirements including:
- Sloping show home gardens
- Access into sales cabins
- Pedestrian routes between buildings
- Visitor seating areas
- Landscaping around sales car parks
- Planters and landscaped features
- Water features
- Timber decking and footbridges
The aim is to create landscaping that works with the individual development rather than imposing a standard layout.
Landscaping for Housebuilders and Developers
Millstone Landscapes has extensive experience working within residential development environments.
Our wider client base includes housing developers, residential development organisations and national housebuilders, alongside contractors, architects and other professional teams.
That wider commercial landscaping experience means show home and sales cabin projects can be considered within the context of the development as a whole.
Where required, our broader landscaping capabilities include planting, turfing, seeding, paving, pathways, fencing and ongoing maintenance.
From Design to Completed Landscape
The existing Millstone project examples show that the company can support both the design and construction of show home and sales-area landscaping.
This may begin with a site visit to understand the available space and individual requirements before the proposed scheme is developed.
The work can then progress into construction and planting, incorporating the specific features needed for the site.
This combined approach is particularly useful where sales areas need to be completed to suit a development programme or where several different landscaping elements need to be brought together.
Supporting Landscaping After Completion
The presentation of a show home or sales complex may need to be maintained for as long as the development remains active.
Millstone Landscapes also provides commercial landscape maintenance and lawn care services that can support completed landscaped areas.
Maintenance capabilities include lawn and border management, planting, seasonal pruning, weeding, mulching, turfing, seeding and other site-management work.
