A well-planned care home garden can transform everyday routines into moments of independence and connection. In Mitcham, we design outdoor spaces that are easy to navigate, restful to sit in, and stimulating in the right ways. From quiet corners near Figges Marsh to larger grounds close to Mitcham Common, we tailor layouts to residents’ needs. Expect clear routes, safe boundaries and thoughtful planting that works across the seasons.
The Mitcham area includes Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates, often with varied levels, narrow side access or shared parking. We’re used to working around tight entrances and existing paving, while keeping disruption low for residents and staff. For larger sites near CR4, we can phase installations so key routes remain open. Our designs also respect neighbouring properties and sightlines, helping gardens feel open without sacrificing security.
We start with a site survey and a practical design plan focused on accessibility, supervision and maintenance. Every build prioritises slip resistance, smooth transitions and robust edging, with handrails and shade structures where needed. You’ll get a clear schedule, tidy working practices and regular updates throughout. Fine Landscaping is based just 10 minutes away, so aftercare and tweaks are straightforward when you need them.
We understand the practicalities of delivering care home gardens in London Borough of Merton, including access constraints and considerate working hours. Mitcham’s mix of clay-heavy ground and compact plots can affect drainage and foundation depths, so we specify sub-bases and edging accordingly. Near Mitcham Junction station and busier roads, we plan deliveries to minimise disruption and keep entrances clear. We also design for year-round use, balancing shade, shelter and low-maintenance planting.

Costs vary with size, access and the level of accessibility required. As a guide, small upgrades (handrails, minor path improvements, seating) often start from £2,000–£6,000. A mid-sized redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds and sensory planting is commonly £8,000–£25,000. Larger grounds with multiple zones, safe boundaries, lighting and shade structures can be £30,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on groundwork and how many features are included. Smaller schemes can be completed in a few days, while larger gardens with new paths, raised beds, fencing, handrails and shade structures may take 4–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in CR4, drainage requirements, weather, and whether work must be phased to keep routes open for residents. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, most paving and typical boundary works. However, rules can change if you’re adding tall fencing, structures near boundaries, significant level changes, or work to a listed building or in a conservation area. Care settings may also have additional compliance considerations. We’ll review the proposal, flag any likely permissions, and help you prepare the right information for London Borough of Merton if needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible hard landscaping installations, such as paving sub-bases, retaining edges, steps and built structures, when installed to our specification. This covers defects arising from installation rather than misuse, accidental damage or extreme events. Planting is covered separately because establishment depends on watering and seasonal conditions; we’ll advise on aftercare and can provide maintenance visits. Warranty details are confirmed in writing with your quote.
We design around mobility, supervision and comfort. Popular options include resin-bound or textured porcelain for smoother, slip-resistant routes, and contrasting edging for visual clarity. Raised beds can be timber, brick or composite, set to wheelchair-friendly heights. Sensory planting may include lavender, rosemary, grasses and winter-interest shrubs, while memory gardens can feature familiar cottage plants and simple wayfinding. We’ll recommend choices that suit maintenance budgets, sunlight, and resident needs across the care home gardens Mitcham area.
