Southfields homeowners want gardens that work hard all year, not just during Wimbledon season. We design family spaces with safe play areas, soft surfaces and clear sightlines from the house, ideal for properties near Southfields tube station and Wimbledon Park. Whether you need room for a trampoline, climbing frame or a simple kick-about lawn, we plan each zone so it feels spacious rather than cluttered. The result is a garden children love and adults can enjoy too.
The Southfields Grid and surrounding streets feature Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and plenty of 1930s semis, each with different garden proportions and access. We’re used to narrow side returns, shared boundaries and long, rectangular plots common around SW18. Our designs balance practical storage, durable surfaces and planting that softens hard lines. If you’re in Earlsfield, Putney or Wandsworth, we tailor the layout to your home’s style and how your family uses the space.
From first visit to final tidy-up, we keep the process clear and organised: survey, concept plan, materials selection, then careful installation. We prioritise safety—secure edging, stable bases, and child-friendly finishes—without sacrificing a premium look. You’ll get a detailed specification, sensible timelines and regular updates throughout the build. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, tidy sites and a finish that lasts through heavy family use.
We understand the practicalities of working across the London Borough of Wandsworth, including access constraints and considerate scheduling on residential roads. Southfields gardens often have compact side passages, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and materials to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, so we specify proper sub-bases and drainage where needed to keep lawns usable. Our approach suits period terraces and 1930s semis alike, keeping finishes neat against existing brickwork and boundaries.

Costs vary with size, access and how much play equipment and surfacing you need. As a guide, a simple family layout with lawn improvements and safe edging might start around £3,000–£6,000. Adding soft surfaces, raised beds, lighting and new paving commonly brings projects to £8,000–£18,000. Larger redesigns with drainage, bespoke carpentry and multiple zones can be £20,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A straightforward lawn-and-planting refresh can be completed in a few days, while gardens with new paving, soft surfacing, play equipment bases and growing beds typically take 10–15 working days. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for bases, and whether drainage or electrical work is included.
Most garden landscaping—lawns, planting, patios, raised beds and typical play equipment—usually falls under permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re adding tall structures, significant level changes, lighting near boundaries, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag likely requirements early and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Wandsworth before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as bases, edging, paving and constructed features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by their manufacturers’ guarantees, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen products. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and aim to resolve it with minimal disruption to your household.
Popular choices include artificial or reinforced turf for heavy play, rubber mulch or bonded resin for soft surfaces, and porcelain or sandstone paving for easy cleaning. We can integrate sandpits with lids, sunken trampolines, climbing frame zones, and wildlife corners with logs and native planting. For growing spaces, raised sleepers or brick beds work well in SW18 gardens. We’ll recommend options based on safety, drainage, maintenance and budget.
