If your lawn edges keep creeping into borders, professional edging makes an immediate difference. We install crisp, durable borders across SM5, from gardens near Carshalton Ponds to family plots around Carshalton Beeches. The right edge helps hold mulch, gravel and soil where it belongs, while making mowing and strimming far simpler. Expect a cleaner outline and a garden that looks intentionally designed.
Carshalton has a mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and well-kept period properties, often with established front gardens and long rear lawns. We tailor edging profiles to suit traditional paving, curved beds and formal paths, so the finish complements the property rather than fighting it. Whether you’re refreshing borders by The Grove or updating a side return in Hackbridge, we keep lines true and levels consistent. Our recommendations balance style, longevity and budget.
We start with a site visit to mark out lines, check levels and confirm materials, then excavate a neat trench and install edging on a stable base. Corners, curves and joins are set accurately so the border stays straight and doesn’t lift over time. We work cleanly, protect existing plants where possible, and remove waste at the end of the day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear pricing and a finish that lasts.
In the garden edging Carshalton area, we often find compacted clay patches and tree roots near older boundaries, so we adjust excavation depth and fixings accordingly. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, especially around Wallington and near local schools, so we plan deliveries and waste collection to minimise disruption. We also consider drainage and existing paving levels to prevent trip edges. Our work aligns with the character of gardens across the London Borough of Sutton.

Most garden edging in Carshalton is priced at around £15–£50 per metre, depending on the material and the amount of groundwork needed. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while stone, brick and sleeper edging typically cost more due to heavier materials and a stronger base. Typical total spend is often £300–£1,200 for an average front or rear garden, influenced by curves, corners and access.
Most edging jobs take 1 day, which suits many Carshalton gardens where we can complete setting-out, excavation, installation and tidy-up in a single visit. Timescales can extend if you’re edging multiple areas, adding decorative borders with lots of curves, or installing brick/stone that requires a more substantial base. Root-heavy ground, uneven levels, or restricted access for materials can also add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Garden edging is usually classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Sutton. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary wall, or your property is listed or in a conservation area. If edging forms part of a wider front garden redesign, there may be additional considerations around drainage and materials. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise what to check before work begins.
Yes. Our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as movement, lifting or separation caused by installation faults. The warranty assumes normal garden use and that the edging isn’t damaged by impacts, heavy vehicles, or later groundworks by others. We also use quality materials and correct bases to reduce the risk of frost heave and shifting. If something isn’t right, we’ll put it right promptly.
We offer metal edging for crisp, modern lines; brick edging for a classic look; and stone edging for a premium, natural finish. Sleeper edging works well for raised borders, while plastic edging is a budget-friendly option for simple separation. Decorative borders can be used to frame paths, lawns and planting beds with extra character. We’ll help you choose based on your garden style, maintenance preferences, curves vs straight runs, and how you want the edge to weather over time.
