Untidy lawn edges and spreading gravel can make an otherwise smart garden look unfinished. Our garden edging balham area service creates crisp lines around lawns, beds, paths and patios. We regularly work near Balham station and along Bedford Hill, so we’re used to the mix of front gardens and compact rear plots. The result is a border that looks intentional and stays put.
Balham’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have narrow side access and carefully planned planting. Edging helps define planting schemes, protect lawns from overgrowth, and keep mulch where it belongs. In areas such as Nightingale and Clapham South, we often install edging to frame new turf, raised beds, or gravel paths. We tailor the look so it suits period features rather than fighting them.
We start with a quick site visit to measure runs, check levels and discuss finishes. Then we set out clean curves or straight lines, prepare a stable base, and install edging with secure fixings to prevent movement. We keep disruption low, tidy up thoroughly, and explain aftercare so borders stay sharp. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, clear pricing, and a 10-year warranty on installation.
We understand the practicalities of garden edging in London Borough of Wandsworth, including tight access and on-street parking near Balham High Road. Many SW12 gardens have mixed ground conditions, from compacted subsoil to made-up ground, so we adjust our base preparation accordingly. For homes close to Tooting Bec Common, we also allow for heavier foot traffic and muddy seasons by choosing robust edging profiles. Our team is just 15 minutes away, making scheduling and follow-ups straightforward.

In Balham, garden edging typically costs £15–£50 per metre depending on the material and the amount of groundwork needed. Plastic edging sits at the lower end, while metal, brick and stone edging are usually higher due to preparation and fixing. Most homeowners spend around £300–£1,200 for a complete run around lawns, beds or paths. Curves, steps and waste removal can affect the final figure.
Most garden edging jobs in SW12 are completed in 1 day, especially for straightforward runs around lawns or borders. Larger gardens, multiple materials, or extensive excavation can push the work into a second day. Time is also affected by access (common with Victorian terraces), the need to remove old edging, and whether we’re setting levels to match new turf, gravel or paving. We’ll confirm timings after measuring on site.
Garden edging is usually classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Wandsworth. However, there can be extra considerations if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if the work forms part of a larger scheme affecting drainage or boundary structures. If edging is being installed alongside walls, steps or significant level changes, we’ll advise on any checks needed before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship for garden edging, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation or incorrect fixing. It applies when the edging is used as intended and not damaged by third-party works, heavy impact, or major ground alterations. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before installation.
We install metal edging for sleek, modern lines; stone edging for a classic, premium look; brick edging to complement period terraces; sleeper edging for raised borders; and plastic edging for budget-friendly containment. Decorative borders are also available to add detail around beds and paths. We’ll help you choose based on your garden style, maintenance preferences, and how you want to define lawns, gravel, planting and paving transitions.
