From smart patio spaces to practical access routes, we deliver hard landscaping that makes Southfields gardens work better year-round. Whether you’re near Southfields tube station or closer to Wimbledon Park, we design and build surfaces that look sharp and feel solid underfoot. Our team handles patios, pathways, walls, steps, edging and driveways as one coordinated build. The result is a garden layout that’s easier to use, maintain and enjoy.
Southfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with long, narrow gardens and side returns. We plan levels carefully so paving sits neatly against existing thresholds and brickwork, and we keep routes generous for bins, bikes and prams. In the hard landscaping Southfields area, many properties benefit from refreshed front driveways and safer step layouts at the rear. We also match materials and detailing to period features so new work doesn’t look out of place.
We start with a site visit to check access, levels, drainage runs and the condition of existing bases. You’ll receive a clear specification covering excavation depths, foundations, falls, edging details and finish choices before work begins. Our builds prioritise longevity: proper sub-bases, compacted layers and drainage that prevents pooling. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean working practices and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
SW18 homes often have restricted access, shared paths and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We design falls and drainage with local rainfall and garden gradients in mind, especially around older terraces where thresholds can be low. For projects in the hard landscaping in London Borough of Wandsworth, we also consider permeable driveway options and sensible water run-off. If you’re near King George's Park or the Southfields Grid, we’ll tailor the build to your plot shape and boundary lines.

Costs depend on size, access and the build-up required. As a guide, patios are often £120–£220 per m² supplied and installed, depending on the paving and edging. Driveways typically range from £140–£260 per m², with drainage and sub-base depth affecting price. Steps, walls and complex levels are usually priced as fixed elements after a survey. We provide a detailed, itemised quote for SW18 properties.
Most patio or pathway projects take around 3–7 working days, assuming straightforward access and stable ground. A new driveway commonly takes 5–10 days, while walls, multiple steps and extensive drainage can extend the programme to 2–3 weeks. Timescales are influenced by excavation depth, curing time for concrete, weather, and whether old surfaces need breaking out. We confirm a realistic schedule after the site visit.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but there are key exceptions. Driveways to the front garden may need permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway rather than the road drains. Planning can also apply if you’re altering access/kerbs, working on a listed building, or in a conservation area. We’ll flag likely requirements early and can help you check Wandsworth council guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations. This covers issues caused by installation faults, such as movement from inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or drainage problems linked to our build. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural settlement outside normal tolerances where ground conditions are unusual. We also follow manufacturer guidance on paving and jointing products to protect the finish.
Homeowners often choose porcelain paving for a clean, low-maintenance patio, or sandstone for a softer, traditional look that suits period homes. For driveways, block paving, resin-bound surfacing and permeable gravel are common choices depending on drainage needs. We can add brick or stone edging, raised planters, retaining walls and step lighting-ready conduits. We’ll help you select colours, laying patterns and jointing that complement your property and garden style.
