Pollards Hill homeowners often want a front garden that looks polished and works hard day to day. Whether you’re near Pollards Hill Library or walking distance to Pollards Hill Recreation Ground, we create welcoming entrances with practical parking, safer pathways and planting that stays tidy. Our designs balance greenery with usable space, so the front of your home feels cared-for all year. We can also integrate lighting and bin storage to keep the frontage organised.
The area’s mix of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes benefits from tailored layouts rather than one-size-fits-all paving. Many plots have modest frontages, sloping drives or shared access, so every centimetre matters. We match materials and proportions to the property style, keeping lines crisp and the approach uncluttered. If you’re comparing options across Norbury, Mitcham or Streatham Vale, we’ll help you choose a look that suits your street.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured plan and a clear, itemised quote. We handle excavation, drainage, edging, planting and finishing details, keeping the site tidy and neighbours considered. You’ll get practical advice on maintenance and long-term performance, not just aesthetics. Local clients choose us for reliable scheduling, skilled installation and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Front gardens in the London Borough of Merton often need careful drainage planning, especially where drives meet the pavement. We assess levels, soil and access, and we plan deliveries and parking to minimise disruption on residential roads such as around South Lodge Avenue. For SW16 plots, we frequently incorporate permeable surfaces and neat retaining edges where slopes occur. The result is a frontage that looks smart and performs well in wet weather.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a tidy-up with new planting and edging might start around £1,500–£3,500. A new pathway and small lawn commonly falls in the £3,000–£7,000 range. Full front garden transformations with driveway surfacing, walls/fencing, lighting and bin storage are often £8,000–£25,000+, depending on drainage and materials.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once work starts. A simple pathway, planting and lawn can be completed in under a week, while a driveway with excavation, drainage, walls and lighting may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, curing time for concrete bases, delivery lead times and weather. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many front garden changes are permitted development, but there are important rules. New or replaced driveways over 5m² usually need to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property, rather than the street. Walls, railings and changes near highways can also have limits. We check the requirements for your address in the London Borough of Merton and advise what’s needed before work begins.
We include a 10-year workmanship warranty on our front garden landscaping installations. This covers defects arising from installation, such as issues with laying, levels, edging stability and structural integrity of built features like walls and steps. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of routine maintenance, but we’ll explain care requirements clearly at handover.
We design around how you use the space: parking, access, privacy and planting. Popular driveway and pathway options include permeable block paving, resin-bound gravel, porcelain paving and natural sandstone. For boundaries we install timber fencing, brick walls, piers and metal railings, plus integrated lighting and purpose-built bin stores. We’ll bring samples, recommend colours to suit your property, and create a layout that balances greenery with clean, practical lines.
