A family garden should feel calm for adults and exciting for children, without turning into a maintenance headache. We create clear zones for play, relaxing and planting, with safe play areas and soft surfaces where they matter most. From Epsom Downs to Ewell, we design gardens that suit busy routines and changing ages. If you’re near Epsom Downs Racecourse or the Ashley Centre, we can tailor a layout that works with your plot and lifestyle.
The Epsom area includes large detached houses, period properties and executive homes, many with generous rear gardens and side access. We often work on properties across KT17, KT18 and KT19 where families want a smarter garden that still allows room to run. Our designs balance lawn space with robust paths and practical storage for toys and tools. For homes in Stoneleigh and Langley Vale, we also plan for privacy, wind exposure and usable evening space.
We start with a site visit to understand how your family uses the garden, then produce a clear plan covering safety, drainage and durable finishes. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and daily clear-downs. You’ll get straightforward options for surfaces, edging and play equipment bases, plus advice on keeping it all looking sharp. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, high standards and a finish that lasts.
Epsom and Ewell Borough gardens often sit on clay-heavy soils, so we prioritise drainage, firm sub-bases and surfaces that don’t churn up in winter. Access can be tight on some period plots, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal carefully. Where gardens are exposed near Epsom Downs, we specify wind-tolerant planting and sturdier fencing details. Every design is adapted to your property style and how your family actually moves through the space.

Costs vary with size, levels and what you include. As a guide, a family-focused refresh with lawn improvements, edging and a small soft-play zone is often £3,000–£8,000. A full redesign with new paving, drainage, lighting and dedicated play structures commonly sits around £12,000–£30,000+. Larger executive gardens in KT18–KT19 with multiple zones can exceed this, especially with premium materials.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once work starts. A straightforward lawn-and-play-area upgrade may be completed in 3–7 days, while a full garden build with paving, drainage, raised beds and fencing typically needs 10–20 working days. Timescales depend on access, ground conditions, curing time for bases, and whether you’re adding features like a trampoline pit, sandpit edging or bespoke carpentry.
Most family garden works—lawns, patios, planting, play equipment and soft surfacing—are usually permitted development. However, rules can apply to taller fencing, structures near boundaries, significant changes to levels, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag anything that may need approval and can advise on best practice for Epsom and Ewell Borough requirements before installation begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues such as failed sub-bases, movement caused by incorrect installation, and defects in construction detailing. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse of play equipment, or natural wear and tear, but we’ll always offer practical aftercare advice and support.
Popular choices include durable porcelain or sandstone patios, resin-bound or bound gravel paths, and artificial turf or hard-wearing natural lawn depending on use. For play zones we often specify rubber mulch, wetpour, or bark in contained areas, plus safe edging and clear sightlines. Wildlife areas, raised beds and small growing spaces are great for hands-on learning. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your budget, maintenance preferences and how your children play.
