A well-planned care garden supports independence, reduces trip risks and encourages gentle activity. In Carshalton, we design outdoor spaces that suit residents’ needs while respecting the area’s village feel near Carshalton Ponds and The Grove. Expect smooth, accessible pathways, secure boundaries and welcoming seating areas placed for sunlight and shelter. We can also include memory gardens and sensory planting to spark conversation and comfort.
Our team works across SM5 and nearby Carshalton Beeches, tailoring layouts to the realities of local plots and buildings. Many properties here are Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and other period homes, often with side access constraints and mature planting. We plan widths, turning circles and handrail positions to suit mobility aids without making the garden look clinical. The result is a practical space that still feels like a garden—green, familiar and inviting.
We start with a site visit to understand users, supervision needs and daily routines, then produce a clear design with materials and maintenance in mind. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and safe, clearly marked routes throughout. Every build is finished with a handover and care guidance, plus workmanship you can rely on. Local clients choose us for consistent communication, robust detailing and a premium finish delivered within 15 minutes of our Norbury base.
Carshalton gardens often combine older drainage patterns with compact side passages and on-street parking considerations. We plan deliveries and waste removal around local access, and we build levels carefully to avoid ponding after heavy rain. For care home gardens in London Borough of Sutton, we also consider boundary treatments, lighting and visibility to support safeguarding. Materials are chosen to suit period settings while meeting modern accessibility standards.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide in the Carshalton area, a small accessibility upgrade (handrails, minor path works, seating) may start around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-sized redesign with new paving, raised beds and sensory planting is often £8,000–£20,000. Larger schemes with multiple zones, shade structures and secure boundaries can be £25,000+. We provide itemised options after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–4 weeks on site, depending on scope and weather. A straightforward path and seating upgrade can be completed in a few days to a week. Full refurbishments with new levels, drainage, raised beds and planting typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in SM5, curing times for bases, bespoke joinery or shade structures, and any safeguarding requirements for working hours.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as paths, planting, raised beds and most seating areas. However, permission may be needed for taller boundary fencing, structures near boundaries, significant level changes, or work affecting protected trees. In the London Borough of Sutton, we also check whether the property has any specific restrictions or is close to sensitive heritage settings. We’ll flag risks early and help with drawings or applications if required.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our installations, covering issues arising from how the work was built—such as paving movement due to incorrect sub-bases, fixing failures on handrails, or poor edging retention. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking, lighting, or shade structures. Planting is living material, so it’s covered by a short establishment period when maintained correctly. We explain what’s included in writing at handover.
Popular choices include smooth porcelain or resin-bound paths for easy wheeling, sandstone for a softer period look, and timber or brick raised beds that match existing buildings. Sensory planting often features lavender, rosemary, grasses and winter-interest shrubs, while memory gardens can include familiar cottage plants and clear signage. Shade structures range from pergolas to sail shades, depending on exposure. We guide you through options based on maintenance, slip resistance and user needs.
