Response within 24 hours
Balham buyers notice the details—especially around Balham station and along Balham High Road where kerb appeal matters. We deliver landscaping for housing developments that supports sales, improves resident experience and protects long-term value. Expect crisp front gardens, practical rear gardens, and welcoming communal spaces that photograph well and wear well. We also coordinate street planting and boundary treatments to create a cohesive streetscape.
Balham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions sets a high benchmark for external finishes. New-build schemes in SW12 often need landscaping that feels established quickly, while still being low-maintenance for busy households. We design layouts that suit compact plots, shared access routes and bin/bike storage requirements. Planting palettes are chosen to complement period architecture and modern facades alike.
From site survey to handover, we manage design, build and aftercare with clear programmes and staged sign-offs. You’ll get detailed specifications, tidy working practices, and consistent quality control across plots and communal areas. Our team is based 15 minutes away, so snagging and follow-up visits are fast. Clients trust us for reliable communication, durable construction, and maintenance contracts that keep developments looking sharp.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth means factoring in controlled parking zones, neighbour access and tight site logistics around Bedford Hill and Balham Hill. Ground conditions can vary, so we specify drainage, sub-bases and soil improvement to suit each plot. We also plan planting for exposure and footfall near green spaces like Tooting Bec Common. Materials and detailing are selected to sit comfortably alongside Balham’s period streetscapes.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and access. As a guide, front garden landscaping is often £2,000–£6,000 per plot, while rear gardens commonly range from £4,000–£15,000 depending on paving, turf and fencing. Driveways typically start around £3,500 and can exceed £12,000 for larger permeable builds. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per scheme after a measured survey and specification.
Timescales depend on the number of plots, the level of hard landscaping and how the build programme is phased. A single plot front and rear garden often takes 3–10 working days, while a driveway can add 2–7 days. Communal areas may run from 2–6 weeks, especially with planting seasons and establishment care. Access restrictions, weather, utilities and handover dates can all affect sequencing.
Most garden landscaping, fencing and patios are usually permitted development, but driveways and drainage can trigger rules—especially where impermeable surfacing affects run-off. In the London Borough of Wandsworth, you may need compliant permeable materials or suitable drainage to a soakaway. There can also be conditions attached to planning consents for new developments covering trees, boundaries and public realm works. We review drawings, check constraints and advise before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, covering issues such as failed sub-bases, movement caused by incorrect build-up, and drainage faults linked to our work. Materials are supplied with relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. Soft landscaping is covered for establishment when maintained correctly, and we can include a maintenance contract to protect planting performance. Any snagging is logged and resolved promptly to support smooth handover.
For Balham schemes, popular choices include porcelain paving for clean show-home finishes, clay pavers to echo Victorian streets, and resin-bound or permeable block paving for driveways. Boundary treatments often combine closeboard fencing with brick piers or slatted screening for a contemporary look. Planting typically uses structured evergreens, ornamental grasses and seasonal colour for quick impact. We provide mood boards and samples, then value-engineer options to meet budget and performance needs.
