Wimbledon gardens often have changes in level, from sloping lawns near Wimbledon Common to raised patios in Wimbledon Village. Well-built steps make these transitions comfortable, secure and visually coherent with the rest of your landscaping. Fine Landscaping designs and installs steps that suit both formal terraces and relaxed family gardens. We can also integrate discreet lighting for safer evenings.
The Wimbledon area features large Victorian houses, Edwardian villas and exclusive modern homes, each with different proportions and detailing. We match step materials and edging to your property’s character, whether that’s crisp brickwork, contemporary blockwork or premium natural stone. For homes across SW19 and SW20, we also consider how the steps connect to patios, paths and planting. The result is a finish that looks intentional, not added on.
We start with a site visit to measure rises and runs, check drainage, and agree the safest, most comfortable step geometry. Our team builds on a properly compacted sub-base with accurate levels, clean lines and tidy joints. You’ll get clear timescales, a written specification, and careful protection of surrounding areas while we work. Local homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship and a finish that lasts through heavy use and wet winters.
In the London Borough of Merton, we regularly work around tight side access, basement lightwells and stepped rear gardens. Parking and deliveries can be restricted near Wimbledon Village and busier routes, so we plan logistics to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, so we choose the right sub-base depth and drainage details to prevent movement. If your property sits close to boundaries, we also keep lines and falls precise to avoid runoff issues.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Garden Steps in Wimbledon are priced at around £150–£400 per step, depending on material, width, foundations and any cutting or edging detail. Typical projects fall between £800 and £3,500 for a small flight with proper sub-base and finishing. Natural stone and integrated lighting tend to sit at the higher end, while simple sleeper or block steps can be more cost-effective. We’ll confirm after a site survey.
Most installations take 2–4 days, depending on the number of steps, site access and whether we’re tying into an existing patio or path. Groundworks and sub-base preparation are often the most time-consuming part, especially on sloped gardens. Brick or stone steps can take longer due to cutting and pointing, and lighting integration may add time for cabling and testing. We’ll provide a realistic schedule before work starts.
Garden steps are usually permitted development, particularly when they’re part of normal landscaping and don’t create major changes to ground levels. However, rules can differ if your home is listed, in a conservation area, or if works affect boundaries, drainage or shared access. For projects in the London Borough of Merton, we check practical compliance points and can advise if you should contact the council. We’ll flag any risks early.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden steps, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect installation, loose units, or failures in the constructed base. It assumes normal domestic use and that the area isn’t altered by third parties after completion. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We also give care guidance to help keep joints, surfaces and lighting performing well.
We install natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps, brick steps and sleeper steps for different styles and budgets. Popular upgrades include contrasting edgings, bullnosed treads, anti-slip finishes, and lighting integration for safer night-time use. Where needed, we can add discreet handrails that suit the setting. We’ll help you choose proportions, colours and detailing that work with your patio, paths and planting scheme.
