A well-planned care home garden can transform day-to-day life, offering gentle exercise, fresh air and familiar routines. In Tolworth, we design outdoor spaces that are easy to navigate and reassuring to use, whether the garden sits near Tolworth Tower or closer to Tolworth Broadway. From accessible pathways to shaded seating areas, every element is chosen to reduce risk and increase confidence. The result is a garden residents and visitors can enjoy throughout the seasons.
The Tolworth area includes 1930s semis, post-war houses and modern developments, each with different levels, drainage and access constraints. We regularly work across KT5 and KT6, adapting layouts to narrow side returns, sloping lawns and compact rear gardens. Where space is limited, raised beds and wall-mounted handrails can deliver accessibility without sacrificing planting. For larger plots, we can create memory garden routes and multiple seating zones for quieter use.
We start with a site visit to assess mobility needs, gradients, surfaces and safeguarding requirements. You’ll receive a clear design proposal covering pathways, safe boundaries, planting plans and maintenance considerations, with options to suit different budgets. Our installation team works tidily and communicates around visiting hours, deliveries and site access. Local clients choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, transparent scheduling and a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping.
Gardens in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames often have mixed clay soils and areas of compaction, so we specify robust sub-bases and drainage where needed. Parking and access can be tight around busier routes near Tolworth Broadway, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many local homes have stepped thresholds and older paving, which we regrade to create smoother transitions. We also consider boundary treatments that remain secure without feeling institutional.

Costs vary with access, levels and how much hard landscaping is needed. As a guide, small upgrades (handrails, safer surfacing, a seating nook) often start around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-sized redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds and planting is typically £8,000–£20,000. Larger schemes with multiple zones, shade structures, secure boundaries and drainage can be £25,000+. We provide itemised options after a site survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward path-and-planting refresh can be completed in a few days, while full garden remodelling with new sub-bases, raised beds, handrails and shade structures may take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, drainage requirements, access for machinery, and lead times for bespoke joinery or metalwork. We agree a schedule before work begins.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as paths, raised beds, planting, and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where new structures (like larger shade canopies) are proposed. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. If permissions or approvals are needed, we’ll support the paperwork and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship on items such as paving, sub-bases, edging, and built structures installed to our specification. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what each product includes. Soft landscaping (plants and turf) is more dependent on weather and aftercare, but we offer clear maintenance guidance and can provide ongoing care packages for best results.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and the character of the site, from 1930s gardens to modern developments. Popular options include resin-bound or porcelain paving for smooth access, textured sandstone for grip, and timber or brick raised beds at wheelchair-friendly heights. Sensory planting can feature scented herbs, tactile grasses and seasonal colour, while memory gardens may include circular routes and familiar planting themes. We’ll present samples and practical pros/cons before you choose.
