Morden families want gardens that feel open, safe and easy to manage—without losing style. We create clear zones for play, relaxing and planting, with thoughtful sightlines from the house. Whether you’re near Morden station or enjoy weekends at Morden Hall Park, we’ll design a space that suits busy routines. Expect robust materials, tidy edges and layouts that grow with your children.
Across SM4 you’ll find plenty of 1930s semis with long rear gardens, plus post-war estates and newer developments that need smarter use of space. We’re used to narrow side access, shared boundaries and sloping lawns that benefit from levelled terraces. If you’re in Morden Park or Lower Morden, we can adapt designs to sunnier plots or shadier garden ends. The result is a family garden that feels generous, even on compact footprints.
We start with a site visit to understand how your family uses the garden, then produce a clear plan with options for surfaces, play equipment and planting. Our builds prioritise safety: secure fixings, smooth transitions, and non-slip finishes where needed. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, clean working practices and transparent communication throughout. You’ll also get aftercare advice so lawns, growing beds and wildlife areas establish properly.
We understand the mix of clay-heavy soils and compacted lawns common around Morden South and St Helier, so drainage and ground preparation are planned from day one. Access can be tight on 1930s semis, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary heights, overlooking and practical storage for bikes and toys. For family friendly gardens in London Borough of Merton, we build with durability in mind and keep finishes easy to maintain.

Costs vary with size, levels and the features you choose. As a guide, a simple family-friendly refresh (turf, edging, small patio and planting) often starts around £3,000–£7,000. More involved builds with drainage, soft surfacing, raised beds and integrated play features typically fall in the £8,000–£20,000 range. Larger gardens or premium finishes (resin, bespoke joinery, lighting) can exceed this. We’ll provide itemised options after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on groundworks and the number of zones. A straightforward lawn-and-patio layout can be completed in about a week, while levelling, drainage, soft surfacing and built-in features usually extend the programme. Weather, access through side passages, and curing times for concrete bases can also affect duration. We confirm a realistic schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, including patios, lawns, planting beds and most play equipment. However, rules can apply to structures over certain heights, raised platforms, boundary changes, or work near trees with protection orders. If you’re adding substantial decking, pergolas, or tall screening, it’s worth checking early. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can guide you on Merton Council requirements before you commit.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the core build elements we install, such as paving, edging, retaining details and constructed bases (when used as specified). This covers defects arising from installation rather than normal wear, misuse or extreme weather events. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like turf, membranes, resin systems and play equipment. We also give clear aftercare guidance to help your lawn, planting and surfaces perform as intended.
We tailor layouts to your family, from open lawn space to defined zones for play and relaxing. Popular options include durable porcelain or sandstone patios, non-slip paths, rubber mulch or bark play surfaces, and low-maintenance planting. We can integrate sunken trampolines, sandpits with lids, climbing frame bases, wildlife areas and raised growing beds. If you’re looking for family friendly gardens Morden area homeowners can enjoy year-round, we’ll recommend materials based on drainage, shade and budget.
