From Wandle Park to the River Wandle walks, Colliers Wood has a strong connection to outdoor space—and care settings deserve the same. We design gardens that support mobility, confidence and wellbeing with accessible pathways, handrails and clear routes. Sensory planting brings colour, scent and seasonal interest at eye level. Seating areas and shade structures make it comfortable for residents, visitors and staff throughout the day.
Our team is based just 10 minutes away, so we can respond quickly for surveys, updates and ongoing maintenance. In SW19 you’ll find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer apartment developments, each with different access and layout challenges. We plan entrances, side returns and courtyards to suit wheelchairs and walking aids without losing character. Where space is tight, raised beds and compact memory gardens deliver impact without clutter.
We start with a site assessment to understand levels, drainage, and daily routines, then produce a clear design and phased plan. Safety comes first: non-slip surfaces, safe boundaries, and well-positioned handrails, with planting chosen for low maintenance and reduced trip risks. You’ll receive a written specification, tidy workmanship, and transparent scheduling. Local homeowners and care providers choose us for dependable communication and finishes that look premium year after year.
Gardens around Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon often include mixed ground conditions and pockets of heavy clay, so we prioritise drainage and stable sub-bases under paths. Access can be restricted on residential streets near the Tandem Centre, so we plan deliveries and parking to minimise disruption. We also consider local council guidance for boundary heights, front garden changes and waste removal. Every design is adapted to property style, space and resident needs.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, small upgrades (handrails, minor path repairs, simple seating) often start from £1,500–£4,000. A medium redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds and sensory planting is commonly £6,000–£15,000. Larger schemes with new surfacing, safe boundaries, shade structures and a memory garden can be £18,000–£40,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once materials are booked in, depending on complexity. Smaller improvements can be completed in 2–5 days, while full refurbishments with new paths, raised beds, fencing and planting may take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access for deliveries, level changes, drainage work, and whether you want the job phased to keep areas open for residents. We confirm a schedule before work starts.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, and like-for-like path replacements. However, planning or consent can apply to taller boundary treatments, structures in prominent front gardens, works near protected trees, or listed buildings. Care settings may also have additional compliance requirements around safety and access. We’ll flag likely permissions early, check Merton guidance where relevant, and can help you prepare information for any applications if needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations such as paving build-ups, edging, and constructed raised beds (subject to correct use and normal ground conditions). Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. Our warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme weather events, or plant failure due to lack of watering, but we do offer aftercare advice and optional maintenance to keep everything performing well.
We tailor each scheme to residents’ needs and the site layout. Popular options include resin-bound or textured porcelain for smooth, slip-resistant paths, timber or brick raised beds, and sensory planting focused on scent, texture and colour. Seating can be fixed benches, armrest chairs, or sheltered pergola-style shade structures. Memory gardens often feature familiar plants, simple signage and clear loops for walking. We guide you through samples and propose practical, durable choices.
