New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments often comes with varied plot levels, tight side access and legacy hardstanding. We regularly work in the garden groundworks New Malden area, including Raynes Park and Motspur Park, where careful excavation and spoil removal are essential. Whether you’re extending a patio, rebuilding steps or preparing for a garden room, we tailor the groundwork depth, compaction and falls to suit your property. That attention prevents future sinking, pooling and cracked finishes.
We begin with a site visit to check levels, access routes and drainage runs, then provide a clear scope of works. Our team handles foundations, drainage, waste removal and reinstatement, keeping the site safe and organised throughout. We use proven build-ups, proper compaction and accurate grading so surfaces shed water as intended. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and results that last.
We plan groundworks around New Malden’s suburban streets, where parking, skips and deliveries need coordination. In the garden groundworks in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we also consider surface water run-off, existing drains and neighbouring boundaries before we dig. Many KT3 gardens have restricted access, so we use the right machinery and manual methods to protect fences and paving. Our approach keeps the job efficient while meeting local expectations for neat, considerate work.

Larger jobs involving significant excavation, levelling, drainage runs and waste removal often fall in the £3,000–£8,000 range.

Most groundworks take 1–5 days depending on size and what’s involved. A straightforward clearance and level for a small patio can be completed in 1–2 days, while excavation, drainage and foundations for larger gardens typically take 3–7 days. Timescales are affected by access in KT3, the amount of waste to remove, weather, and whether we uncover old concrete, tree roots or unexpected services. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden groundworks are permitted development, especially when you’re preparing bases for patios, paths, lawns or like-for-like drainage improvements. Permission may be needed if you’re significantly changing ground levels, altering drainage that affects neighbours, building near boundaries, or creating new hardstanding at the front of a property. Rules can also apply in conservation areas. We’ll flag any likely constraints and help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
Yes. Our groundworks are backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the elements we install, such as sub-bases, compaction, falls and foundations, when built to the agreed specification. This covers issues caused by installation faults, for example settlement from inadequate compaction or incorrect levels affecting drainage. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme events, or pre-existing hidden services. We also provide aftercare guidance to protect the finished build.
We prepare stable, well-drained bases for porcelain and natural stone paving, block paving, resin-bound surfaces, gravel paths, sleepers and raised beds, as well as turf and artificial grass. We can also form concrete pads or strip foundations for garden rooms, steps and retaining edges. During the survey we discuss usage, slip resistance, maintenance and drainage, then set levels and falls to suit. You’ll get a practical recommendation that fits your garden and budget.
