Morden's mix of housing presents unique challenges for hard landscaping projects. Those narrow side returns on Merton Park properties need careful planning, whilst the generous gardens backing onto Morden Hall Park offer scope for ambitious designs. Clay soil conditions here mean proper groundwork is essential – something many contractors overlook until subsidence appears two winters later.
Creating solid outdoor surfaces involves more than laying slabs on sand. Excavation depths vary depending on whether you're dealing with the London clay common near St Helier or the occasional gravel patches towards Lower Morden. Proper membrane placement prevents weeds breaking through joints, whilst calculated gradients ensure rainwater flows away from foundations. Each material – whether Indian sandstone, porcelain tiles, or traditional brick – requires specific bedding techniques for longevity.
Twenty years working across South London means understanding which materials weather best in our climate. Local knowledge matters when you're investing thousands in outdoor surfaces that need to last decades.

Yes, from the Conservation Area around Morden Hall to newer developments near the station. Regular projects take us through St Helier, Lower Morden, and into neighbouring Mitcham and Worcester Park.
Most patios complete within 5-8 working days, though larger entertaining areas with steps or retaining walls might stretch to two weeks. Weather plays its part – we'll always discuss realistic schedules during quotation.
All installations carry decade-long protection covering both materials and workmanship. This includes settlement issues, joint failure, and any defects in the sub-base construction – essentially everything except accidental damage.
Absolutely. Whether it's London stock brick from the 1900s or the red engineering bricks common in 1960s Morden estates, we source matching materials. Sometimes perfect matches prove impossible, but skilled pointing and weathering techniques help new work blend seamlessly.
