Sutton’s excellent schools and green spaces mean gardens get used hard—after school, at weekends, and through summer holidays. We design family spaces that work for everyday life, from a soft-surfaced play zone to a lawn for ball games. If you’re near Sutton High Street or Manor Park, we can create a layout that’s safe, practical and easy to supervise from the house. Every element is planned to reduce bumps, slips and muddy bottlenecks.
Homes across the Sutton area range from 1930s semis with long rear gardens to Victorian terraces with compact plots, plus modern developments needing smart zoning. We tailor levels, pathways and drainage so the garden feels bigger and behaves better in wet weather. In SM1, SM2 and SM3 we often see shaded boundaries and narrow side access, so materials and build methods need to be chosen carefully. The result is a family garden that looks premium but stands up to daily use.
We start with a site visit, listen to how your family uses the space, then produce a clear design with practical options. Our builds prioritise safe edges, robust fixings and child-friendly finishes, with tidy working and respectful neighbours in mind. You’ll get transparent scheduling, staged payments, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us because we deliver reliable timelines and gardens that stay looking sharp.
Across the London Borough of Sutton, we regularly work with clay-heavy soils and pockets of poor drainage, so we specify the right sub-bases and falls. Many streets around Cheam and Benhilton have limited access and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for mature trees, boundary levels and shared fences common in 1930s semis and terraces. The build is adapted to your plot, not forced into a template.

Costs vary with size, access and the features you choose. As a guide, a simple family refresh with new lawn, edging and a small soft-play zone often starts around £3,000–£7,000. A more complete redesign with drainage, paving, lighting, raised beds and play equipment bases typically falls between £10,000–£25,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit in Sutton.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on how much groundwork is required. A lawn replacement and soft-surface play area can be completed in about a week, while a full redesign with paving, levels, drainage and planting usually takes 2–4 weeks. Timings are affected by access, weather, curing times for concrete bases, and lead times for bespoke items like pergolas or fencing.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, including lawns, planting, patios and many play features. However, rules can apply to raised decking, boundary fences over certain heights, structures near boundaries, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely issues during design and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Sutton before work starts, so you avoid surprises later.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, retaining details and properly constructed bases for features like trampolines or climbing frames. It covers defects caused by installation issues, not damage from misuse, extreme weather events, or third-party alterations. We also use reputable manufacturers, so many materials come with their own product guarantees alongside our warranty.
Popular choices include tough turf or low-maintenance artificial grass, resin-bound or porcelain paths for cleaner pushchair routes, and rubber mulch or bonded rubber for safer play landings. We can integrate sunken trampolines, sandpits with covers, timber climbing frames, wildlife corners and raised veg beds. During design, we balance safety, drainage and upkeep, then recommend finishes that suit your home’s style and how your family actually uses the garden.
