Those narrow Victorian gardens stretching behind Wimbledon's terraced houses deserve better than patchy grass and forgotten borders. Whether you're dreaming of contemporary outdoor living or restoring period charm to your SW19 property, skilled landscaping transforms even the trickiest spaces.

Back gardens across Wimbledon tell countless stories - from compact courtyards behind South Wimbledon flats to sprawling lawns near the Common. Each plot brings unique challenges: clay soil that turns to concrete in summer, awkward slopes towards Raynes Park, or that eternal battle with shade from neighbouring properties. Local knowledge matters when you're working with these quirks.
Professional landscaping goes beyond laying turf and planting shrubs. Drainage solutions prevent those infamous Wimbledon puddles that plague lower gardens. Retaining walls tackle steep banks common near Copse Hill. Smart design maximises every square metre - crucial when your typical SW20 terrace offers just 30 feet to play with. Materials chosen specifically for London's microclimate ensure longevity through wet winters and increasingly hot summers.
Twenty years of transforming Wimbledon gardens means understanding what actually works here. From sourcing materials through trusted SW19 suppliers to navigating conservation area restrictions in the Village, experience smooths every project.

Most back garden transformations in SW19 range from £8,000 to £25,000, depending on complexity. A basic redesign with new lawn, borders and patio starts around £8,000. Adding features like outdoor kitchens, water features or extensive hard landscaping pushes budgets towards £20,000+. Smaller courtyard gardens often cost £5,000-£12,000.
Absolutely - from period properties in Wimbledon Village to modern developments around South Wimbledon station. Regular projects span both SW19 and SW20 postcodes, including Raynes Park, Wimbledon Chase, and properties backing onto the Common. Even tackled some challenging slopes near Cottenham Park.
Typical back garden projects complete within 3-5 weeks, weather permitting. Simpler makeovers might finish in 2 weeks, while extensive redesigns with multiple features can extend to 8 weeks. Planning applications (if needed near conservation areas) add 6-8 weeks upfront.
All hardscaping elements - patios, walls, paths - carry a 10-year structural warranty. Plants guaranteed for their first year, assuming proper maintenance. Any drainage or irrigation systems include decade-long coverage against defects. Full documentation provided for your peace of mind.
Definitely - preserving character often means incorporating existing elements. Mature trees get proper protection during works, established borders can be enhanced rather than replaced, and original features like Victorian walls or period paving often become focal points.
