Whether you want a fresh border scheme or a full garden refresh, we deliver planting that suits Pollards Hill’s residential gardens and green outlook. We regularly work near Pollards Hill Recreation Ground and around SW16, so we understand the local feel and typical plot sizes. Expect thoughtful plant combinations, seasonal interest and tidy finishes. We can supply everything, plant it properly and mulch to keep it thriving.
Homes in Pollards Hill include many 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, each with different planting opportunities. Front gardens often need structure and kerb appeal without blocking light, while back gardens benefit from layered borders and screening. We design to work with existing patios, lawns and paths, and we’re careful around shared boundaries. If you’re in nearby Norbury or Mitcham, we can match planting to your home’s style and maintenance preferences.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess sun, shade, soil condition and drainage, then we propose a clear planting design and schedule. We source quality plants, prepare the ground, plant at the right depth and spacing, and finish with mulching to retain moisture and suppress weeds. You get practical aftercare guidance and optional maintenance to help everything establish. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timings, clean working practices and consistent results.
Gardens across the London Borough of Merton often vary from improved topsoil to heavier, compacted ground, especially in older plots. We adjust with soil conditioning, mulching and plant choices that cope with local conditions. Access can be tighter on residential streets near South Lodge Avenue, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design planting that works with smaller front gardens and shared drive approaches common to the area.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density, and whether you need soil improvement and mulching. As a guide, small border planting projects often start around £350–£900. Medium gardens with a full planting scheme and supplied plants are commonly £1,200–£3,000. Larger gardens, tree planting and premium specimen shrubs can take budgets to £3,500–£7,500+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a visit.
Most planting jobs take 1–2 days for a small to medium garden, including preparation and mulching. Larger schemes with multiple borders, trees and shrubs typically take 2–5 days. Timescales vary with access, the amount of soil improvement required, and whether we’re removing old plants or reshaping beds. We’ll agree a clear schedule in advance and coordinate plant delivery to keep the work efficient.
Garden planting is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. The main exceptions involve protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) or work within a conservation area, where pruning or removal can need consent. If your project includes new trees near boundaries or highways, we’ll also consider safe placement and root impacts. We can check the relevant Merton guidance and advise before any tree planting begins.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed landscaping elements where applicable, and we apply the same care standards to planting preparation and installation. Plant performance depends on weather and aftercare, so we give clear watering and maintenance guidance to maximise establishment. If a plant fails due to an installation issue, we’ll put it right. Optional maintenance visits are available for ongoing support.
We can create modern, low-maintenance schemes, cottage-style borders, wildlife-friendly planting, or evergreen structure with seasonal colour. Popular choices include perennials for long flowering, bulbs for spring impact, shrubs for year-round form, and carefully placed trees for shade and privacy. We also specify mulches (bark, composted mulch) to improve moisture retention and reduce weeds. We’ll recommend options based on your light levels, soil and how much upkeep you want.
