A well-designed care home garden can transform daily routines into moments of comfort and connection. In Sutton, we create outdoor spaces that are easy to navigate, calming to spend time in, and practical for care teams. From gentle routes to quiet seating areas, every detail is planned around residents’ needs. We regularly work near Sutton High Street and Manor Park, where outdoor space is valued year-round.
The Sutton area includes everything from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and newer developments, each with different access and levels. We tailor layouts to narrow side passages, sloping lawns and compact courtyards, ensuring wheelchairs and walking aids move safely. In SM1, SM2 and SM3, we often improve tired paving and awkward steps with level transitions and supportive handrails. Our designs suit both private care settings and larger communal gardens.
We start with a site visit to understand mobility requirements, supervision sightlines and maintenance expectations. You’ll receive a clear plan and specification, with options for surfaces, planting and safety features before work begins. Our team keeps sites tidy, communicates daily, and schedules disruptive tasks to minimise impact on residents. Homeowners and managers choose us for reliable workmanship, careful detailing, and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Sutton, we often encounter clay-heavy soils that hold water, plus shaded areas from mature trees. We specify drainage, robust edging and planting that copes with wet winters and dry spells. Access and parking can be tight around Cheam and Carshalton, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to reduce disruption. Where gardens slope, we introduce gentle gradients, secure handrails and clear route marking.

Costs vary with size, access and the safety features required. As a guide, small upgrades (path repairs, handrails, planting refresh) often start around £2,000–£6,000. A mid-sized garden with new accessible paths, raised beds and seating commonly falls in the £8,000–£20,000 range. Larger projects including shade structures, safe boundaries and full re-landscaping can be £25,000+. We provide itemised options to match budgets.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and the number of features. A simple pathway and seating upgrade may be completed in a few days, while full transformations with raised beds, drainage and boundary works can take several weeks. Timescales are affected by access routes, spoil removal, weather, and lead times for materials such as bespoke handrails or shade structures. We agree a schedule before starting.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding raised beds, planting schemes and most seating areas. However, permissions can apply to taller boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, significant level changes, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. For care settings, we also consider safeguarding and access standards. We’ll review your site, advise what’s likely required, and can support any checks with the London Borough of Sutton.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our landscaping workmanship, covering installation quality for elements such as paving, edging, raised beds, steps, handrails fixings and boundary structures (subject to normal use and maintenance). Materials are also covered by the relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included in writing and how to care for the garden to protect the finish. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and put it right.
We offer a wide range of options to suit mobility needs and the look of the property. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured porcelain for accessible pathways, brick or timber raised beds, sensory planting with herbs and fragrant shrubs, and seating with arms and supportive heights. Memory gardens can include themed planting, familiar features and clear wayfinding. We help you choose based on safety, maintenance, budget and how residents will use the space.
