Raynes Park families want gardens that work hard: space to run, somewhere to climb, and areas that stay tidy and safe. We design practical layouts that balance lawn space with dedicated play zones, so the garden feels calm rather than cluttered. Whether you’re near Raynes Park station or closer to Cannon Hill Common, we’ll tailor the plan to your plot and how your family uses it. Expect thoughtful zoning, durable materials, and finishes that look premium.
Homes across SW20 range from 1930s semis with generous rear gardens to Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses with longer, narrower plots. We’re used to side access constraints, level changes, and existing patios that need integrating rather than ripping out. If you’re in Wimbledon, Motspur Park or New Malden, we’ll design around typical boundary lines and neighbouring sightlines for privacy and safety. The result is a garden that feels spacious, even when the footprint is modest.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements, and a family-focused design that maps play, planting and storage. We specify child-safe edging, slip-resistant surfaces and robust fixings, then install with tidy working practices and clear timelines. You’ll get transparent options, staged builds if needed, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us because we communicate well, turn up when we say we will, and finish to a high standard.
Many Raynes Park gardens sit on clay-heavy soils, so drainage and levels matter when creating lawns and soft play areas. We often work with narrow side access and shared driveways, planning deliveries and parking to minimise disruption. For properties near Prince George's Playing Fields and surrounding streets, we design for wind exposure and shade patterns from mature trees. Our approach suits family friendly gardens in London Borough of Merton, with materials chosen for longevity and easy maintenance.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of features. As a guide, a simple family layout with lawn improvements and edging may start around £3,000–£6,000. Adding soft surfacing, a sandpit, raised beds and lighting often falls in the £8,000–£18,000 range. Larger builds with drainage works, new patios, and premium play equipment can be £20,000+. We provide itemised options to match your budget.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on groundwork and how many zones you’re adding. A lawn refresh with small play features can be completed in under a week, while drainage, new paths, soft surfacing and timber structures usually extend the programme. Weather, curing times for concrete, and access for machinery can affect timings. We agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden landscaping and domestic play equipment are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change if you’re adding tall structures near boundaries, altering levels significantly, or working on a listed building or within a conservation area. We’ll flag likely constraints early and can help you check London Borough of Merton guidance. If approvals are needed, we’ll advise on the best route before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, such as paving bases, edging, retaining details and constructed features. It covers defects caused by installation issues, not damage from misuse, extreme weather events, or third-party alterations. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for items like artificial grass, play equipment, or lighting components. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep lawns, surfaces and timber in great condition.
Popular choices include soft rubber mulch or wet-pour surfaces under climbing frames, durable turf or hard-wearing seed for lawn space, and raised timber or brick planters for growing areas. Wildlife zones often use native shrubs, log piles, bug hotels and small water features with child-safe detailing. We can integrate sandpits with lids, in-ground trampolines, and safe path lighting. We’ll help you choose options based on maintenance, budget, and how your children play.
