Eastfields homeowners want front gardens that look sharp, park well and stay low-maintenance. We design and build complete front garden makeovers, from new driveways and pathways to planting, walls, fencing and lighting. With Eastfields station nearby and green space at Figges Marsh, the area benefits from practical layouts that handle footfall and weather. We work across SW16 and CR4, including Mitcham and Streatham Vale.
The Eastfields area mixes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, each with different frontage sizes and access. Terraces often need clever bin storage and narrow path solutions, while semis suit wider driveways with softened planting borders. Modern plots can benefit from clean lines, integrated lighting and crisp fencing. Our designs are tailored to the property style so the front garden feels cohesive, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and access, then produce a clear plan and itemised quote. Our team handles excavation, sub-bases, edging, planting and finishes with tidy handover and care guidance. You’ll get durable materials, neat detailing and a written 10-year warranty for workmanship. Being five minutes away means responsive scheduling and quick follow-ups if you need tweaks.
Front gardens in the London Borough of Merton often have mixed ground conditions and varied levels, so we assess drainage and specify the right build-up for driveways and lawns. Parking and access can be tight around Eastfields and Pollards Hill, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider visibility splays, boundary lines and practical gates or fencing layouts. The result is a front garden that works for day-to-day life as well as looking premium.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small refresh with planting, edging and a new path might be £1,500–£4,000. A new driveway with proper sub-base and drainage commonly falls around £4,500–£12,000. Full front garden transformations including walls/fencing, lighting and bin storage are often £8,000–£20,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on the scope. A simple pathway and planting scheme can be completed in a few days, while a driveway plus walls, fencing and lighting usually takes 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, drainage requirements, curing time for concrete/mortar, and access for skips and deliveries. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many front garden upgrades are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage. If you’re laying an impermeable surface over a certain area, you may need permeable paving or drainage to a soakaway rather than the street. Walls, fences and gates can also have height limits, especially near highways. We check the relevant London Borough of Merton guidance and advise what’s needed before work begins.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our front garden landscaping, covering issues such as installation defects in paving, edging, walls, fencing and construction build-ups when used as intended. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also give aftercare guidance for lawns and planting, as living elements depend on watering and seasonal conditions. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
Popular choices include permeable block paving or resin-bound gravel for driveways, porcelain or sandstone for pathways, and brick or rendered walls to suit Victorian and 1930s façades. For planting, we often use evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus low-maintenance shrubs and grasses. Lighting options range from discreet bollards to step and wall lights. We help you choose finishes that match your home, budget and maintenance preferences.
