Pollards Hill homeowners often want outdoor spaces that feel tidy, safe and easy to maintain all year round. We design and build patios, pathways, walls, steps and edging that complement the area’s residential streets and gardens. If you’re near Pollards Hill Library or walking distance from Pollards Hill Recreation Ground, we can survey access and levels quickly and propose a clear plan. Every build starts with solid foundations and drainage so surfaces stay stable through wet winters.
The Pollards Hill area includes many 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, each with different garden levels and access constraints. We’re used to narrow side returns, shared paths and short front gardens where a well-planned driveway or entrance steps make a big difference. Whether you’re close to South Lodge Avenue or bordering Norbury and Streatham Vale, we match materials and detailing to the property style. Our team also handles practical upgrades such as retaining walls and improved drainage runs.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check existing sub-bases and identify any drainage issues before recommending materials. You’ll receive a written scope of works, a clear schedule and guidance on maintenance. Our builds follow best practice for sub-base depth, compaction and falls, helping prevent rocking slabs, ponding and cracked joints. Local homeowners choose us for tidy working, straightforward communication and a finish that looks sharp for years.
We know the access and parking realities around SW16 streets and plan deliveries and waste removal accordingly. Ground conditions can vary across the London Borough of Merton, so we assess soil, existing sub-bases and water run-off before setting levels. Where gardens slope or boundaries need support, we design retaining walls and foundations to suit. We also factor in neighbouring properties and shared paths to keep works considerate and compliant.

Costs depend on size, materials and the amount of groundwork required. As a guide, patios often range from £120–£220 per m² installed, while pathways can be £90–£180 per m². Brick or block walls commonly start around £180–£350 per m², and steps vary widely from £600–£2,500+ depending on height and finish. Driveways typically sit between £3,500–£12,000+ depending on area and drainage needs.
Timescales vary with scope and weather, but many Pollards Hill projects complete within 3–10 working days. A small patio or path may take 2–4 days, while a driveway with new drainage and edging often takes 1–2 weeks. Retaining walls, multiple levels and step builds add time due to foundations and curing. Access constraints, skip placement and material lead times can also affect the schedule.
Most garden hard landscaping is permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², you usually need permeable surfacing or drainage to a suitable area rather than the public sewer. Walls, raised platforms and work near boundaries may have limits too. We’ll advise on Merton requirements and design the build to stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues linked to installation such as sub-base failure, unstable paving, or movement caused by incorrect compaction and bedding. It’s designed to give SW16 homeowners confidence that the build is structurally sound. Normal wear, accidental damage and lack of maintenance aren’t covered, and some materials have separate manufacturer guarantees. We’ll explain what applies to your project in writing.
We can create modern or traditional finishes using porcelain paving, natural sandstone, granite setts, concrete pavers and brick edging. For driveways, popular choices include permeable block paving, resin-bound systems and reinforced gravel with stabilisation grids. Walls and steps can be built in brick, block with render, or stone to match your home. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, maintenance, drainage performance and how it suits your property.
