Cheam gardens often need smart zoning: dining, play, storage and year-round planting in one coherent layout. Whether you’re near Cheam Village or walking distance from Nonsuch Park, we create designs that suit how you actually use the space. Expect clear plans, considered materials, and planting that looks good beyond summer. We also account for privacy, outlook and neighbouring properties from the start.
Our garden design Cheam area service is shaped by the local mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes. Many SM2 and SM3 plots have mature boundaries, sloping levels or narrow side access that affects build choices. We design around existing features worth keeping, while improving drainage, circulation and lighting. The result is a garden that feels settled, not newly “dropped in”.
We begin with a site visit, measurements and a design brief, then develop concept options before finalising detailed plans. You can add planting plans, lighting design, water features and hard landscaping design to suit your budget and timeline. We provide clear specifications for accurate pricing and smooth installation, with a dedicated project lead throughout. Local homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, honest advice and consistent communication.
Cheam properties often have established trees, mixed soil profiles and pockets of shade that influence planting choices. We plan practical access routes for materials, especially where driveways are short or side gates are tight, and we consider parking and neighbour impact during installation. For homes near conservation-sensitive areas, we help you design sympathetically and flag any constraints early. Our garden design in London Borough of Sutton also accounts for local drainage and levels to avoid future issues.

For Garden Design in Cheam, design-only work typically falls between £500 and £2,500 depending on garden size, complexity and whether you need 3D visualisation, lighting or planting plans. If you want us to deliver the full build, most completed projects land around £5,000 to £25,000, influenced by paving choice, levels, drainage, walls, water features and the amount of planting.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks from the start of installation, with the design phase usually running alongside early planning and ordering. Timings vary based on access, weather, groundworks (levels and drainage), curing times for concrete, and lead times for specialist items such as porcelain paving, bespoke joinery or water features. We provide a realistic programme and keep you updated as work progresses.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, especially like-for-like patios, paths and planting changes. However, planning or restrictions can apply for boundary walls and fences over certain heights, listed buildings, conservation areas, significant level changes, or structures such as large outbuildings. In the London Borough of Sutton we’ll review the design against likely constraints, advise what may need consent, and help you gather the right information before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, steps, retaining work and built structures, when maintained as advised. This covers defects arising from installation rather than normal wear, accidental damage or third-party alterations. For materials, manufacturer guarantees also apply where relevant. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific design and provide aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
We can design everything from contemporary courtyards to family gardens with lawns and borders. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, brick edging to suit period homes, composite or timber decking, pergolas, raised planters, and water features such as rills or bubbling bowls. We also design lighting for steps, paths and feature planting. We’ll guide you through options based on budget, maintenance preference and the style of your home.
