A well-designed care home garden can lift mood, encourage gentle movement and support meaningful routines. We design and build outdoor spaces near Eastfields station and around Figges Marsh that prioritise safe access and clear wayfinding. From handrails and safe boundaries to seating areas and shade structures, every element is planned for comfort. Sensory planting and memory gardens add familiar scents, colours and seasonal interest.
The eastfields area includes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, each with different levels, access points and drainage quirks. We’re used to working with narrow side returns, stepped thresholds and compact rear gardens common around SW16 and CR4. Where space is limited, raised beds and well-placed seating create usable zones without clutter. For larger plots, we can introduce looped pathways for safe, gentle walks.
We start with a site visit to understand mobility needs, maintenance expectations and safeguarding considerations. You’ll receive a clear design plan, material options and a staged programme to minimise disruption. Our team is local (around 5 minutes away), so we’re responsive for follow-up visits and seasonal adjustments. Fine Landscaping is trusted for tidy workmanship, clear communication and robust finishes built to last.
Across the London Borough of Merton we often see mixed soil, compacted ground and drainage challenges in older gardens, so we specify the right sub-bases and falls. Access and parking can be tight near Eastfields station and residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. For homes and facilities around Mitcham and Streatham Vale, we also account for level changes and existing paving. The result is a safer garden that stays practical in all seasons.

Costs vary with access, levels and the features you choose. As a guide, a small refresh with safer surfacing, seating and planting can start from £3,000–£7,000. A mid-sized redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails and lighting is often £8,000–£18,000. Larger schemes including shade structures, secure boundaries and a memory garden can be £20,000+. We provide itemised options to match your budget.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on size and how much groundwork is required. A straightforward upgrade—new paths, a couple of raised beds and planting—may be completed in under a week. Full redesigns with drainage improvements, boundary work, handrails and shade structures typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing time for materials and any bespoke joinery or metalwork.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as paths, planting, raised beds and most seating areas. However, permission can be needed for taller fencing, structures near boundaries, significant level changes, or if the property is subject to specific restrictions. For care settings, we also consider safety requirements and any management policies. We’ll review the design, check relevant Merton guidance where needed, and advise before work starts.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, giving you confidence in the build quality. This covers issues linked to installation, such as movement from incorrect sub-base preparation or failures in fixed construction elements. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, which we pass on. Planting is living material, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance plans to keep everything thriving.
We tailor designs to mobility, supervision and maintenance needs. Popular options include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or brick raised beds, and sensory planting with lavender, rosemary, grasses and soft-leaf perennials. Seating can be fixed benches, armrest chairs or sheltered pergola-style shade structures. Memory gardens often use familiar cottage plants and clear signage. We’ll recommend durable, low-maintenance materials suited to your site and budget.
