The client wanted a practical yet stylish garden makeover that addressed poor drainage while creating a welcoming outdoor space. We cleared the existing garden, laid new pavers to create a clean patio area, built a custom bench for seating, installed eco-friendly drainage channels to manage rainwater sustainably, and added a composite decking step to bridge the level change between the house and garden.
The result is a low-maintenance, well-drained garden that's perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and making the most of outdoor living — even in the wetter months.
Estimated price range: £10,000 to £15,000. Includes all materials, labour, waste removal, and VAT for the complete garden transformation in Wimbledon.

How we delivered a complete garden transformation in Wimbledon in just one week.
We assessed the garden, confirmed the design with the client, and stripped back the existing surfaces. All old paving, debris, and waste were cleared and removed from site.
Excavation and levelling of the garden area. Eco-friendly drainage channels were installed to manage rainwater sustainably, preventing pooling and waterlogging across the patio.
Compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base laid across the full patio area to create a solid, stable foundation. Falls and gradients set to work with the new eco drainage system.
New paving slabs laid across the garden in a clean, contemporary pattern. Joints filled with kiln-dried sand and edges finished with secure edging to prevent movement.
The bespoke bench was built on-site to fit the space perfectly, creating a permanent seating area. A composite decking step was installed to bridge the level change from the back door to the garden.
All edges trimmed, joints filled, surfaces cleaned, and final quality inspection completed. The garden was handed over ready to enjoy — backed by our 10-year warranty.
High-quality, durable materials designed to look great and last for years.

Common questions about patio, drainage, and garden renovation projects in Wimbledon and South West London.
Eco drains are sustainable drainage channels designed to capture rainwater at ground level and redirect it away from paved areas. They prevent puddling, reduce flood risk, and are increasingly recommended by local authorities for paved gardens.
Quality paving slabs laid on a proper sub-base typically last 25 to 30 years or more. The key to longevity is the foundation — a well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base and correctly filled joints prevent sinking and weed growth.
Yes — we build bespoke benches on-site to match the exact dimensions and style of your garden. Whether you want a simple L-shaped seat, a wraparound corner bench, or integrated storage underneath, we design and build it to fit perfectly with your paving and landscaping.
In most cases, no. Patio installation in a back garden typically falls under permitted development. If paving over more than 5 square metres at the front, regulations require permeable paving or drainage to a permeable area. Our eco drain installations ensure compliance.
Composite decking doesn't rot, warp, splinter, or need annual treatment. It's also anti-slip when wet, making it safer as a step. It costs a bit more upfront but saves time and money over its 25+ year lifespan.
We use either kiln-dried sand or polymeric jointing compound between pavers. Polymeric sand hardens when wet, creating a solid joint that blocks weed growth and resists insect burrowing. Combined with a proper membrane beneath the sub-base, this keeps your patio weed-free for years.
