Banstead families want gardens that cope with football, scooters and summer barbecues without looking like a playground. We create clear zones for play, relaxing and planting, with safe surfaces and practical layouts. Whether you’re near Banstead High Street or backing onto routes towards Banstead Downs, we’ll tailor the design to your plot and lifestyle. The result is a garden that’s easy to supervise and enjoyable in every season.
Across the SM7 postcode we work on large detached houses, 1930s properties and modern executive homes with generous rear gardens. These plots often suit a proper lawn, a dedicated play corner and a quieter wildlife strip. If you’re in Nork or Burgh Heath, we’ll plan access for materials and keep disruption low. For sloping or awkward areas, we use level changes and edging to make spaces safer and more usable.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design plan that prioritises safety and drainage. We install robust edging, child-friendly finishes and well-defined zones so everything has a place. You’ll get a tidy, scheduled build, transparent options, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly and deliver gardens that stand up to daily use.
Banstead gardens can include open aspects, windy edges near downland, and varied ground conditions that affect drainage and lawn performance. We specify sub-bases, soil improvement and turf choices to suit each site, especially where shade from mature boundaries is a factor. Access and parking can differ between larger driveways and tighter frontages, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Our builds align with the character of Banstead’s detached and 1930s homes, keeping the finish smart and long-lasting.

Costs vary with size, levels and how many features you include. As a guide, a simple family layout with lawn improvements and safe edging may start around £4,000–£8,000. Adding soft surfacing, a sandpit area, planting, and paths often falls between £9,000–£18,000. Larger builds with drainage upgrades, retaining edges, and multiple play zones can be £20,000+. We’ll itemise options so you can scale the scope.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on groundworks and the number of features. A lawn refresh with edging and a small play area can be completed in a week. If you’re adding soft surfaces, new paths, drainage, raised beds and planting, allow 2–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing time for bases, and lead times for equipment such as trampolines or climbing frames.
Most garden improvements—lawns, planting, paths, raised beds and typical play equipment—are usually permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, adding tall structures close to boundaries, or altering levels significantly. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on checking with Reigate and Banstead Borough guidance where needed. If permissions or party wall considerations apply, we’ll help you plan the right approach.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, such as sub-bases, edging, paving and constructed features, when used as intended. This covers issues caused by installation faults rather than accidental damage, misuse, or extreme weather events. Product warranties on items like artificial turf, membranes or play equipment are covered by the manufacturer and passed on to you. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep everything performing well.
We can combine natural turf or hard-wearing artificial grass, bonded rubber or play-grade bark for soft landings, and durable paving for seating areas. Popular additions include in-ground or sunken trampolines, sandpits with lids, climbing frames on safe surfacing, and wildlife corners with log piles and native planting. Growing spaces can be raised beds, herb planters or small fruit areas. We’ll recommend options based on supervision, maintenance levels and how your family uses the garden.
