If you’re planning a garden upgrade near Sutton High Street or around Cheam, a clear design is the difference between “nice ideas” and a garden that works year-round. We create cohesive layouts that balance entertaining space, planting, privacy and easy maintenance. Whether you want a calm retreat, a family-friendly lawn, or a contemporary courtyard, we’ll shape the space around how you live. Our designs can include lighting, water features and hard landscaping details from the start.
The Sutton area has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer developments, often with long rear gardens or compact plots that need smart zoning. We regularly design for homes across SM1, SM2 and SM3, where access routes, levels and existing patios can influence the best layout. From side-return paths to tricky corners behind extensions, we plan solutions that feel generous without wasting space. Planting is chosen to suit aspect, privacy needs and the look of your home.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a design brief, then we develop concept options before refining the final plan. You’ll receive clear drawings, planting plans and, if helpful, 3D visualisation so you can approve the details with confidence. We’re transparent on costs and timescales, and we coordinate the design so it can be built smoothly in phases or as one complete project. Homeowners choose us for thoughtful design, tidy working practices and results that last.
Across the London Borough of Sutton, we often find clay-heavy soils and shaded boundaries that affect drainage and planting choices. We design with practical access in mind, especially for terraced streets and tighter driveways around Benhilton and Carshalton. Where parking restrictions or skip placement is a concern, we plan build-friendly logistics and phased deliveries. Materials and levels are specified to suit local ground conditions and long-term durability.

Garden design fees in Sutton typically range from £500–£2,500, depending on garden size, complexity and whether you want extras such as 3D visualisation, lighting design or detailed planting plans. If you proceed to a full transformation, most complete projects fall around £5,000–£25,000, influenced by paving, walls, decking, drainage, water features and the quality of finishes you choose.
Most Sutton projects take 2–8 weeks from the start of works, depending on scope and weather. A simple refresh with new layout tweaks and planting can be quicker, while full hard landscaping, lighting, irrigation or water features will extend the programme. Lead times for specialist materials and the need for groundworks (such as drainage or level changes) also affect the schedule. We provide a clear timeline before work begins.
Many garden changes are permitted development, such as patios, paths and most planting schemes, but there are exceptions. Walls, fences, raised platforms, drainage changes, lighting near boundaries and works to listed buildings can trigger extra rules. If your property is in a conservation area or you’re making significant level changes, requirements may differ. We flag likely constraints early and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Sutton.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, retaining structures and built features, subject to normal use and appropriate maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like lighting fittings, composite decking or specialist membranes. Planting is living material, so its performance depends on aftercare, but we specify suitable plants and provide care guidance to help them establish well.
We tailor each scheme, but popular choices in the garden design Sutton area include porcelain patios, sandstone paving, brick edging to match period homes, composite or timber decking, pergolas and privacy screening. We can also design planting for year-round structure, integrated lighting, irrigation, and water features such as rills or bowl fountains. You’ll receive samples and clear specifications, and we’ll guide you towards options that suit your budget and maintenance preferences.
