How we delivered a full garden transformation in Streatham in just one week.
We started with a thorough site assessment, confirmed the design plan with the client, and cleared the entire back garden — removing old fencing, overgrown plants, debris, and all waste.
The composite decking frame was built and boards fitted to create a clean, level entertaining area. Edges were trimmed and finished for a seamless look.
Paving slabs were laid in the designated walkway and patio zones with decorative gravel borders, creating defined areas and adding texture to the overall garden design.
High-quality artificial grass was cut to size and installed over a prepared base for a lush, maintenance-free lawn. The new garden shed was assembled and positioned on a solid, level base.
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.

Common questions about garden transformations in Streatham and South London.
High-quality artificial grass typically lasts 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance. The UV-stabilised fibres resist fading, and the drainage backing prevents waterlogging.
Modern composite decking is designed with textured, anti-slip surfaces that provide good grip even when wet. It's significantly safer than traditional timber decking in wet conditions.
Proper drainage is built into every project. We lay a compacted sub-base that allows water to filter through naturally, and the artificial grass backing is fully permeable.
Yes — with proper planning and an experienced team, many back garden projects of this size can be completed within a week. Larger or more complex projects may take 2–3 weeks.
Very little. Composite decking just needs a wash a couple of times a year. Artificial grass benefits from an occasional brush and rinse. There's no mowing, weeding, or watering required.
Absolutely. The artificial grass we install is non-toxic, lead-free, and soft underfoot. It's fully draining, so pet waste can be rinsed away easily.
Our 10-year warranty covers workmanship and structural integrity on all installed elements — decking, paving, artificial grass, and shed bases.
