That patch of grass between your door and the pavement deserves better than being just somewhere to wheel the bins through. Whether you're updating a tired Victorian terrace frontage or creating something special for your new-build, the right approach transforms how your whole property feels.

Cheam's mix of housing throws up interesting challenges when it comes to front gardens. Those narrow Victorian plots near the station need clever thinking to maximise impact, whilst the broader 1930s semis around Nonsuch Park offer completely different possibilities. Each street has its own character - from the tree-lined avenues of North Cheam to the more compact terraces closer to Sutton, and getting the balance right matters.
Creating an impressive entrance involves more than picking pretty plants. Drainage issues plague many SM2 properties built on London clay, so proper groundwork prevents future headaches. Smart material choices handle everything from delivery vans turning on your drive to keeping pathways slip-free during those damp November mornings. The technical side might sound boring, but it's what separates a five-year garden from one that still looks sharp after a decade.
Twenty-three years working across Cheam means knowing which suppliers deliver on time and understanding exactly what planning officers want to see. Local knowledge counts when you're navigating conservation area restrictions or working around Thames Water's endless roadworks.

Most SM3 homeowners spend between £3,500 and £15,000, depending on size and complexity. A simple refresh with new planting and gravel paths might cost £3,500-£5,000, whilst complete overhauls including new driveways, walls, and lighting typically run £8,000-£15,000.
Absolutely - from the conservation area near St Dunstan's Church through to the newer developments off Malden Road. Regular projects take us throughout SM2 and SM3, plus neighbouring spots like Worcester Park and Ewell.
Smaller makeovers often wrap up within 5-7 working days. Comprehensive redesigns involving groundwork, new surfaces, and established planting generally need 2-3 weeks from start to finish.
Every installation includes decade-long coverage on construction elements like paving, walls, and drainage. Plants come with a 12-month establishment guarantee, assuming reasonable care.
Permeable surfaces like resin-bound gravel or block paving with planted joints provide parking whilst meeting drainage regulations. Strategic planting around the edges, perhaps with low maintenance ornamental grasses or compact shrubs, maintains that crucial green element without blocking sightlines.
