Those sprawling back gardens typical of Cheam's Edwardian homes deserve more than just a quick tidy-up. Whether you're dealing with an overgrown jungle behind a Worcester Road property or starting fresh with new-build plots near Nonsuch Park, bringing gardens back to life is what drives us every morning.

Garden renovation in Cheam presents unique opportunities - from the generous plots along Burdon Lane to the compact courtyards tucked behind High Street shops. Years of experience working with everything from heavy London clay to the occasional chalk deposits near Nonsuch has taught us that every garden tells its own story. Local homeowners often inherit decades-old layouts that no longer suit modern family life, complete with crumbling crazy paving and hedges that haven't been shaped since the millennium.
The transformation process begins with understanding what lies beneath - quite literally when dealing with Cheam's varied soil conditions. Clearing established gardens reveals surprises: old Anderson shelter foundations, Victorian drainage systems, forgotten pathways. Modern renovation techniques allow us to retain character features whilst introducing contemporary elements like composite decking, automated irrigation, and LED lighting schemes. Most projects incorporate sustainable drainage solutions, particularly important given the area's clay-based water retention issues.
Twenty years of renovating gardens between Sutton Common and Ewell Village means knowing which suppliers deliver on time and which plants thrive in our specific microclimate. Regular faces at Squires Garden Centre know us by name, and that's the kind of local connection that ensures your project runs smoothly.

Complete garden overhauls for standard SM3 properties (think 40-60ft plots) generally fall between £15,000-£35,000. Smaller courtyard transformations might start around £8,000, whilst extensive renovations on those larger Belmont Rise gardens can exceed £50,000 when including features like outdoor kitchens or swimming pools.
Absolutely - from the tree-lined avenues near Cheam Station (SM3) right through to the newer developments around North Cheam (SM2). Regular projects take us to Sutton boundaries, across to Worcester Park, and down towards Ewell, covering all residential areas within roughly 3 miles of Cheam Village.
A comprehensive renovation typically spans 3-6 weeks, weather permitting. Smaller refresh projects might wrap up within a fortnight, but those neglected gardens requiring major groundwork and landscaping often need the full six weeks, especially during our unpredictable British summers.
All structural elements - patios, walls, decking frameworks - carry a decade-long guarantee against defects. Plant establishment is covered for the first year, assuming reasonable care. We'll pop back to check on things after six months, making any necessary adjustments at no extra charge.
Preservation and integration of existing features often creates the most characterful gardens. Those magnificent oak trees common in older Cheam properties become focal points, whilst Victorian boundary walls get carefully restored rather than demolished. We'll assess what's worth keeping during the initial consultation, working with tree surgeons when needed for TPO applications.
