Warlingham families want gardens that handle muddy boots, scooters and summer barbecues without losing their style. We design safe play areas with soft surfaces, generous lawn space and zones for sandpits, trampolines and climbing frames. Whether you’re near Warlingham Green or over by Hamsey Green, we’ll plan clear sightlines and easy supervision from the kitchen or patio. The result is a garden that feels calm for adults and exciting for children.
The Warlingham area includes period cottages, large detached houses and country homes, often with sloping plots or long rear gardens. We’re used to creating family-friendly layouts that suit CR6 properties—balancing open lawn with planting that won’t become a maintenance burden. For homes in Chelsham or Woldingham, we can add wildlife areas and growing spaces that make the garden part of everyday learning. Every design is tailored to how your household actually uses the space.
Our process starts with a site visit to map levels, drainage, access and how the sun moves across the garden. We then present a clear plan, material options and a staged build schedule so you know what’s happening and when. Safety is designed-in: secure edging, impact-absorbing surfaces and stable bases for play equipment. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable communication and finishes that stay looking sharp year after year.
Across Tandridge District, gardens can sit on clay-heavy soils that need proper drainage and a stable sub-base for play equipment. In Warlingham, access and parking can be tighter around older lanes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Slopes are common near the North Downs, so we often terrace or level key areas to create safer lawn and play zones. We also choose materials that stay grippy and clean in shaded spots.

Costs vary with size, levels and what you include. As a guide, a simple family-friendly refresh (lawn improvement, safe edging, small soft-surface zone) often starts around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-range builds with new paving, drainage, planting and a dedicated play area typically fall between £8,000–£20,000. Larger gardens with terracing, premium surfacing, lighting and bespoke features can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most projects in Warlingham take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A smaller upgrade—new turf, a soft-surface play pad and minor planting—can be completed in 3–7 days. More complex builds with drainage, retaining work, new patios and multiple zones usually take 2–5 weeks. Weather, access, ground conditions and lead times for specialist surfaces or equipment can affect the schedule.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including lawns, patios, planting and most domestic play equipment. However, rules can change if you’re adding tall structures, significant raised platforms, retaining walls, or if your property is listed or in a protected setting. We’ll flag likely constraints early and can help you check guidance for Tandridge District before work begins. If permissions are needed, we’ll design to meet them and provide supporting details.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements such as paving, edging, sub-bases and retaining details, provided they’re used and maintained as advised. This covers issues like settlement caused by installation faults, loose edging and failures in laid surfaces. Products such as turf, plants and play equipment may have separate manufacturer warranties, which we’ll pass on. We also give clear aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
Popular choices include artificial grass or reinforced natural turf for heavy-use lawns, resin-bound or rubber mulch for soft surfaces, and porcelain or sandstone for easy-clean patios. For play, we can integrate sandpits with lids, in-ground or framed trampolines, and climbing frames on stable bases. Wildlife areas often use native hedging, log piles and pollinator planting, while growing spaces can be raised beds or compact veg plots. We’ll help you choose options that suit your budget, maintenance preferences and safety needs.
