Sloping lawns and raised patios are common around Mitcham Common and Figges Marsh, and well-built steps make the space easier to use year-round. We design and install garden steps that look right with your paving and planting, while improving grip and drainage. Whether you need a few sleeper risers or a full run down to a lawn, we tailor the layout to your levels. We also work across CR4 with tidy, respectful site management.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means no two gardens are the same. Narrow side access and shared paths are typical in Pollards Hill and Eastfields, so we plan deliveries and materials accordingly. We match step proportions to existing patios, paths and thresholds to avoid awkward rises. The result is a finish that feels original to the property rather than added on.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground stability and agree the safest, most comfortable step height. Our team installs proper sub-bases, edging and drainage details so steps stay solid and don’t rock or sink. You’ll get clear options, a written scope, and a set programme—most builds take 2–4 days. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, neat workmanship, and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Across the London Borough of Merton, gardens often sit on mixed ground with compacted areas from old paths and extensions. We excavate to the right depth, use the correct aggregates, and manage drainage so water doesn’t undermine risers. Access and parking can be tight near Mitcham Junction station, so we schedule deliveries and keep materials organised. We also consider boundary walls and neighbouring fences when setting out step runs.

For garden steps in the Mitcham area, expect around £150–£400 per step depending on width, material and groundworks. Most homeowners spend roughly £800–£3,500 for a small to medium run including excavation, sub-base and finishing. Natural stone and integrated lighting tend to sit at the higher end, while sleeper or block steps can be more cost-effective. We’ll confirm costs after measuring levels on site.
Most projects take 2–4 days from excavation to final pointing and tidy-up. Timescales depend on the number of steps, access for materials, and whether we’re tying into existing patios or paths. Natural stone can take longer due to cutting and detailed finishing, while sleeper steps are often quicker. Poor ground conditions or unexpected buried features can add time, but we’ll keep you updated and agree any changes.
Garden steps are usually permitted development, particularly when they’re within your garden and don’t create major changes to boundary heights. However, rules can differ if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works affect drainage, retaining structures or shared access. We’ll flag anything that looks unusual and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Merton before work starts, so you stay compliant.
Yes. Our installation work comes with a 10-year warranty, covering workmanship issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose units, or failures in bedding and jointing under normal use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or severe ground movement outside our control. We also give aftercare guidance to keep joints, edges and surfaces looking their best.
We install natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps, brick steps and sleeper steps to suit different budgets and styles. Popular upgrades include lighting integration in risers or along edges, and discreet handrails for extra safety. We’ll advise on step height, tread depth and finishes for grip, then match colours and textures to your paving and brickwork. We can also add landings for longer runs.
