Uneven lawns, steep side returns and awkward patio drops are common around Garratt Lane and near Earlsfield station. Our steps create comfortable, slip-resistant access between terraces, patios and lawns, while improving the look of the whole garden. Choose from natural stone, block, brick or sleeper steps to match your existing paving and boundaries. We can also integrate subtle lighting for safer use after dark.
Earlsfield’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and garden conversions often need steps that work within tight footprints and shared access routes. We design step runs that feel generous underfoot, with consistent risers and clean edges that suit period brickwork and contemporary extensions alike. For sloping plots closer to the River Wandle, we factor in drainage and stable sub-bases to prevent movement. The result is a practical upgrade that looks like it has always belonged.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss materials and confirm safe step geometry. Your build includes a proper sub-base, solid edging and careful pointing or jointing for a premium finish. We keep the site tidy, protect nearby planting, and communicate clearly from start to sign-off. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, craftsmanship, and a straightforward 10-year warranty.
Access in SW18 can be tight, with side passages and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. In the London Borough of Wandsworth, we work considerately around neighbours and manage noise and timings. Ground conditions vary, especially nearer Wandsworth Cemetery and the River Wandle corridor, so we prioritise drainage and stable foundations. Our garden steps Earlsfield area designs suit period terraces as well as modern refurbishments.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Earlsfield, garden steps typically cost £150–£400 per step depending on material, width, and whether you need retaining edges or drainage. Most projects fall between £800–£3,500 for a short run including groundwork and finishing. Natural stone and integrated lighting usually sit at the higher end, while brick or block steps can be more cost-effective. We’ll confirm pricing after checking levels and access.
Most installations take 2–4 days, depending on how many steps you need and the amount of groundwork. A simple two or three-step drop onto an existing patio can be quicker, while longer runs, curved layouts, or steps tied into retaining walls take longer. Drying times for mortar and the need to form a stable sub-base also affect schedules. We’ll provide a clear plan before work starts.
Garden steps are usually permitted development, so planning permission isn’t normally required, especially for like-for-like improvements within your garden. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works alter boundary walls, railings, or drainage to the public highway. We’ll flag any potential issues and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Wandsworth before you commit.
