Those narrow Victorian terraces in SW19 deserve outdoor spaces that work as hard as they do. From compact courtyards to sprawling gardens backing onto Wandle Park, every square metre counts.

Colliers Wood's mix of period homes and new builds throws up some interesting landscaping challenges. Whether you're battling clay soil near the river or dealing with those awkward L-shaped plots common around Byegrove Road, solid groundwork makes all the difference. Stone patios, block paving, and retaining walls transform muddy patches into year-round entertaining spaces.
Rain runs straight off SW19's clay-heavy ground, pooling where you least want it. Proper drainage channels integrated into paving prevent that winter swamp effect. Permeable surfaces help too – particularly useful given local flooding concerns near the Wandle. Smart material choices mean less moss buildup and fewer slippery spots during those damp November mornings.
Fifteen years navigating Colliers Wood's planning quirks gives us an edge. Local conservation restrictions? Sorted. Party wall agreements for boundary work? We know exactly who to speak to at Merton Council.

Most Colliers Wood gardens run 30-50m², putting basic paving around £3,500-£5,000. Premium sandstone or intricate patterns push towards £8,000. Those larger plots near Abbey Mills might reach £12,000+ for full landscape schemes.
Absolutely – we're all over south London. Regular jobs in Mitcham's garden squares, Tooting's Victorian streets, and right up to Wimbledon Village. Anywhere within reasonable reach of our Colliers Wood base.
Standard patios take 5-8 days from excavation to final pointing. Driveways need 10-14 days including proper sub-base preparation. Weather permitting, naturally – SW19 isn't known for its Mediterranean climate.
Every installation carries decade-long protection against structural failure. Frost damage, subsidence, drainage issues – all covered. Annual check-ups catch problems early, keeping repairs minor rather than major.
Reclaimed York stone creates perfect period matches, though genuine pieces command premium prices. Quality sandstone alternatives offer similar aesthetics at half the cost. We'll bring samples to match your existing stonework exactly.
