From garden upgrades near New Malden High Street to family homes by Beverley Park, a solid base is what makes any outdoor structure last. Fine Landscaping installs concrete bases that stay level, handle weight properly and shed water away from the build. Whether it’s a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse, we prepare the ground carefully and pour to the right thickness. We cover KT3 and nearby roads with reliable access planning and tidy site management.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments often brings different access challenges and garden layouts. Narrow side passages, stepped patios and shared driveways can affect how materials are brought in and where spoil is removed. We tailor each base design to your structure’s footprint and your garden’s fall, so doors open cleanly and frames sit square. Homeowners across Raynes Park and Motspur Park choose us for neat edges and a professional finish.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear recommendation on depth, reinforcement and drainage. We excavate, install a compacted sub-base, add steel mesh where required, then pour and finish for a smooth, level surface. You’ll get straightforward communication, clean-up included, and a base that’s ready for installation. Many clients book us again for follow-on landscaping because the groundwork is done properly first time.
Working across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we’re used to tight access, resident parking controls and protecting existing paving. Ground conditions can vary from firm subsoil to softer, wetter patches, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. We also plan concrete deliveries and barrow routes to minimise disruption, especially on busier roads near New Malden High Street. If needed, we can advise on drainage details to suit local gardens and slopes.

Costs depend on size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is needed. As a guide, small shed bases often start around £450–£900, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases are commonly £900–£1,800. Heavy-duty hot tub bases with steel mesh and extra depth are typically £1,200–£2,500+. Excavation, waste removal and tricky access in KT3 can increase costs, so we provide a site-specific estimate.
Most shed or greenhouse bases take 1 day on site, with larger bases usually 1–2 days including excavation and sub-base preparation. Concrete needs time to cure; light foot traffic is often fine after 24–48 hours, but installing a heavy structure may need 5–7 days depending on weather and mix. Access, spoil removal and drainage requirements can also affect the schedule.
In many cases, a concrete base for a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse is permitted development, provided the structure meets height and location rules and you’re not altering land levels significantly. However, restrictions can apply in conservation areas or for flats with lease conditions. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check council guidance for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before work starts.
Yes. Our concrete bases come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction or incorrect installation. It also covers problems linked to our reinforcement and finishing standards. Normal wear, damage from third-party installation, or changes to ground conditions outside our control aren’t covered. We document the build-up and advise on curing times to protect your new base.
We can build standard shed bases, heavy-duty reinforced slabs for hot tubs, and larger pads for garages or summerhouses. Options include steel mesh reinforcement, thicker edges, shuttered borders for crisp lines, and formed drainage falls to guide water away. If you’re placing a greenhouse, we can plan anchor points and a perfectly square footprint. We’ll recommend the right specification based on load, ground conditions and your chosen structure.
