If you’re near Pollards Hill Recreation Ground or popping to Pollards Hill Library, you’ll know how much local families value outdoor space. We create gardens that work for everyday life: safe play areas, soft surfaces and lawn space that’s tough enough for football and picnics. Want a sandpit, trampoline area or climbing frame base? We plan layouts that keep supervision easy and hazards out of the way.
The Pollards Hill patchwork of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes often comes with compact plots, side access constraints and sloping levels. We design around these realities, keeping play zones practical without sacrificing planting. Whether you’re in SW16 near South Lodge Avenue or closer to Norbury and Mitcham, we tailor the build to your garden’s footprint and how your household uses it.
Our process starts with a site visit, a clear design proposal and a phased plan that suits school runs and busy weekends. We prioritise safety—stable bases, tidy edges, and surfaces that reduce slips and trips—then finish with planting and lighting that make the space usable year-round. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy working practices and workmanship backed by a written 10-year warranty.
We’re five minutes away, so we know the mix of smaller gardens, shared access paths and on-street parking common around SW16. Many plots have heavy, compacted soil, so we improve drainage and soil structure before laying turf or installing play surfaces. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption on residential roads. For family friendly gardens pollards hill area homes can rely on, we build to suit the property and the street.

Costs vary with size, access and the features you choose. As a guide, a simple family layout with lawn renewal, safe edging and a small soft-surface play zone often starts around £2,500–£6,000. More complete builds with drainage, paving, fencing, lighting and equipment bases (trampoline, climbing frame) are commonly £8,000–£20,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A lawn refresh with minor levelling and a small play area can be completed in a few days, while full redesigns with new patios, drainage, fencing, raised beds and multiple surfaces can take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, ground conditions, curing times for bases, and weather. We agree a schedule before work starts.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including lawns, planting, patios and most play equipment. However, rules can apply to boundary fence heights, structures near boundaries, and works affecting drainage or shared access. If your property is subject to specific restrictions, we’ll flag it early. We can advise on what’s likely to need permission and, where required, help you prepare information for the London Borough of Merton.
We provide a written 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as bases, edging, paving and retaining details, subject to normal use and maintenance. We also use manufacturer-backed guarantees where applicable for products and materials. If something settles or shifts due to installation issues, we’ll return to put it right. Clear aftercare guidance is included so surfaces and lawns perform as intended.
Popular choices include artificial turf or reinforced natural turf for year-round play, rubber mulch or wetpour for soft-surface zones, and durable porcelain or sandstone for seating areas. We also design wildlife areas with logs, native planting and bug hotels, plus growing spaces such as raised sleepers beds and child-height planters. For family friendly gardens in London Borough of Merton, we help you balance safety, maintenance and style with samples and a clear layout plan.
