Streatham’s generous plots and green outlook make it ideal for gardens that work for the whole family. Whether you’re near Streatham Common or along Streatham High Road, we create practical layouts with space to run, play and unwind. Expect clear zones for lawn games, safe play areas and calmer corners for planting. Everything is planned around how your household actually uses the garden.
Homes across Streatham Hill, Streatham Common and Streatham Vale often come with long Victorian and Edwardian gardens, plus mansion flats with shared outdoor areas and newer apartments needing clever compact designs. We’re used to tight side access, level changes and existing patios that need upgrading rather than replacing. From small courtyards to full-length family gardens, we tailor the design to your property’s proportions. The result feels natural to the house, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a simple design plan, then agree materials, safety details and a build schedule. Our team handles groundworks, drainage where needed, and tidy finishing so the garden is ready for family use straight away. You’ll get clear communication, clean working practices and a final walkthrough to check every detail. Local homeowners choose us because we deliver durable builds with a premium finish and minimal disruption.
In the family friendly gardens streatham area, we often find heavy clay soils that benefit from proper sub-bases and drainage to prevent winter waterlogging. Parking and access can be tight around SW16 and SW2, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also design around period property features—bay windows, long rear plots and mature boundaries—so the finished garden suits the house. If any works touch boundaries or shared access, we help you plan it sensibly.

Costs vary with size, ground conditions and the features you choose. As a guide, a small refresh with soft surfacing and lawn improvements may start around £3,000–£7,000. A mid-sized family garden with new turf, planting, edging and a play zone is often £8,000–£18,000. Larger builds with drainage, lighting, bespoke carpentry, trampolines or climbing frames can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward lawn and soft-surface play area can be completed in under a week, while full redesigns with drainage, new paths, raised beds and multiple zones typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing times for concrete bases, and lead times for specialist items such as in-ground trampolines or bespoke joinery.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, planting, lawns and most play equipment. However, rules can apply for structures over certain heights, works near boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, or changes that affect drainage and run-off. For family friendly gardens in London Borough of Lambeth, we flag any potential issues early and can advise what to check with Lambeth Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, such as bases, edging, paving and constructed features, when used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like artificial grass, membranes, lighting or play equipment. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and run through aftercare so lawns, soft surfaces and planting establish properly and perform well over time.
Popular choices include durable turf or high-quality artificial grass, resin-bound or rubber soft surfacing, and robust edging in stone or metal for crisp lines. We can integrate sandpits with lids, in-ground or framed trampolines, and climbing frames on properly prepared bases. Wildlife areas often use native planting, log piles and small ponds (where suitable), while growing spaces can be raised sleepers or brick planters. We help you choose options that match your budget, maintenance preference and safety needs.
