Creating a garden for a care setting takes more than attractive planting—it needs safe circulation, clear wayfinding and places to pause. In Southfields, we build outdoor spaces that support mobility and confidence, from accessible pathways to handrails and shade structures. We regularly work near Southfields tube station and around Wimbledon Park, where gardens range from compact courtyards to wider family plots. Every layout is planned to reduce trip hazards and encourage gentle daily use.
The Southfields Grid and neighbouring streets feature Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with level changes, narrow side access and mature boundaries. We tailor care home garden upgrades to suit these property styles, keeping routes wide, surfaces even and turning circles practical. For clients across SW18, including Wimbledon Park and Earlsfield, we balance privacy with openness using planting and safe boundaries. Raised beds and seating areas are positioned to catch light without glare and to stay usable year-round.
We start with a site visit to assess access, drainage, existing paving and resident needs, then provide a clear design and itemised proposal. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and safe storage throughout. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally because we communicate clearly, keep to agreed timelines, and deliver robust finishes built for daily use. Aftercare advice is included so the garden stays safe, healthy and easy to maintain.
Southfields gardens often have tight access and shared boundaries, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking carefully. In the London Borough of Wandsworth we also consider tree roots, drainage runs and existing paving levels to avoid future movement. Where plots slope towards the street or rear, we specify sub-bases and edging that keep paths stable and trip-free. Our designs suit SW18 property layouts and make the most of available space without clutter.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification of paths, handrails and structures. As a guide, smaller upgrades (new seating, safer surfacing and planting) often start around £3,000–£8,000. Mid-sized redesigns with accessible pathways, raised beds and secure boundaries are commonly £10,000–£25,000. Larger schemes including shade structures, extensive paving and multiple zones can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and the number of features. A small refresh with planting, raised beds and a seating area may be completed in a week. Larger layouts with new paths, drainage adjustments, handrails and shade structures can take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing time for surfaces, and lead times for bespoke items.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding raised beds, and installing typical planting and seating. However, permission may be needed for larger structures, fencing over certain heights, works near protected trees, or if the property is in a conservation area. For care settings, we also consider safety and access requirements. We check the relevant London Borough of Wandsworth guidance and flag anything that may need approval.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving build-ups, edging, raised bed construction and fixings for handrails and boundaries. The warranty covers defects caused by installation issues, not accidental damage, misuse or extreme ground movement outside reasonable control. Planting is living material, so it’s covered separately with practical aftercare guidance. We’re always available for maintenance and inspections if needed.
We offer a wide choice, including resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or masonry raised beds, and robust metal or timber seating with arms for easier standing. Sensory planting can include fragrant herbs, tactile grasses and seasonal colour, while memory gardens may use familiar cottage-style species. Shade options range from pergolas to sail shades, depending on exposure. We help you choose finishes that suit the site, budget and maintenance needs.
