If your garden in SW16 feels dated, uneven or hard to use, a considered makeover can change everything. We create practical layouts and attractive finishes for homes around Pollards Hill Recreation Ground and South Lodge Avenue. Expect thoughtful design, tidy workmanship and a garden that works for family time, entertaining and low-maintenance living. Every build is tailored to your space, budget and how you want to use it.
Pollards Hill has a mix of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, often with long, narrow plots and shared side access. We’re used to solving common issues such as tired paving, poor drainage and shaded areas behind extensions. Whether you’re near Norbury, Mitcham or Streatham Vale, we design around your property’s proportions and light levels. The result is a garden that looks balanced from the back door and feels bigger on the ground.
Our process starts with a site survey and full design, then clear specifications for hard landscaping and soft landscaping. We schedule deliveries, manage waste removal, and keep disruption down with careful access planning. You’ll get straightforward updates, clean edges, and professional finishing on every surface. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, quality materials and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We regularly complete garden makeovers in the Pollards Hill area and understand the practicalities of Merton properties. Access can be tight on some streets, so we plan material drops, parking and waste collection to keep things moving. Ground conditions vary, and we adjust sub-bases and drainage to suit, especially where lawns get waterlogged. We also consider boundary lines, shared paths and neighbouring gardens to avoid surprises mid-build.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small refresh (new paving area, planting and tidy-up) often starts around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-size makeovers with a new patio or decking, lighting and fresh turf commonly fall between £8,000–£18,000. Full redesigns with multiple zones, premium stone, drainage upgrades and water features can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most projects in Pollards Hill take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A simple patio and planting scheme may be completed in 5–10 working days, while a full build with drainage, steps, decking, lighting and a water feature can take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, curing time for concrete, bespoke material lead times, and weather during groundwork and pointing.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including most patios, decking at low height, planting and typical lighting. However, rules can apply for raised platforms, structures near boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, and drainage requirements for new impermeable surfaces. We’ll flag anything that may need approval and can help you check guidance with the London Borough of Merton before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as unstable sub-bases, poor levels or failing joints. Manufacturer guarantees apply separately to products like paving, composite decking, lighting transformers and pumps. We’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen materials and give care guidance to keep everything performing well year after year.
We offer full design with options to suit modern and traditional homes: porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or timber decking, brick or rendered planters, new turf or artificial grass, and structured planting for year-round interest. For evenings, we can add low-glare path lights, uplighters and step lighting. Water features range from simple bubbling urns to contemporary rills. We’ll bring samples and recommend finishes that suit your house and budget.
