Wimbledon gardens often need to balance elegant outdoor entertaining with practical space for children. We create safe play areas, resilient lawn space and soft surfaces that look at home near Wimbledon Village or around SW19. Whether you want a trampoline zone, a sandpit, or a tucked-away climbing frame, we plan it so the garden remains cohesive and easy to supervise. Expect thoughtful layouts that work for weekdays, weekends and parties alike.
From large Victorian houses and Edwardian villas to exclusive modern homes in Wimbledon Park and South Wimbledon, we tailor the design to your plot and lifestyle. Many properties have long rear gardens, side returns or mature trees that influence light and drainage. We can integrate growing spaces for herbs and veg, plus wildlife areas that encourage birds and pollinators without making the garden feel untidy. The result is a family space that still suits Wimbledon’s prestigious character.
We start with an on-site consultation, then produce a clear design and itemised specification before any work begins. Our team manages groundworks, drainage, surfacing, turfing and installation of play features, keeping the site safe and organised throughout. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we communicate clearly, stick to agreed timelines, and finish with crisp edges and durable detailing. We’re based just 20 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up visits are straightforward.
Across the London Borough of Merton, we often find clay-heavy soils and shaded areas from mature planting, so we plan drainage, sub-bases and turf choice carefully. Access can be tight on some Wimbledon Village roads, and we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and manage parking sensibly. We also consider tree root protection and boundary conditions common to period homes. For family friendly gardens wimbledon area projects, these details make the difference between a garden that looks good and one that lasts.

Costs vary with size, levels and the features you choose. As a guide in SW19 and SW20, a simple family layout with new turf, edging and a small soft-surface play zone often starts around £6,000–£12,000. More complete transformations with drainage, paving, integrated trampoline, raised beds and lighting commonly fall in the £15,000–£35,000 range. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks, depending on groundworks and how many elements are included. A straightforward lawn and soft-surface play area can be completed in about a week, while gardens with new patios, retaining edges, drainage and multiple zones may take longer. Weather, access for machinery, and curing times for concrete bases also affect the schedule. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, including patios, turfing, planting, and most play equipment such as sandpits, trampolines and climbing frames. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, or installing structures close to boundaries or above certain heights. For family friendly gardens in London Borough of Merton, we check constraints, advise on compliance, and can help with any applications if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for core landscaping elements such as paving installation, sub-bases, edging, drainage runs and constructed features, subject to normal use and correct maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for supplied products like artificial turf, membranes or specific play equipment components. We also explain aftercare for lawns, soft surfaces and timber so you get the best long-term performance from the garden.
We design around how your family uses the space, then match materials to the style of your home. Popular options include resin-bound or rubber crumb play surfacing, artificial grass for heavy wear, robust natural turf, and porcelain or sandstone patios for cleaner entertaining zones. We can add raised timber or brick planters for growing spaces, plus wildlife areas with logs, native planting and bug hotels. Samples and clear visuals help you choose confidently.
