Cheam schemes need landscaping that complements a conservation-minded village feel while meeting modern build standards. We create show home gardens, front and rear gardens, and smart communal areas that look established from day one. Projects across SM2 and SM3 benefit from our structured programmes and tidy site management. Whether you’re near Cheam Village or bordering Nonsuch Park, we tailor finishes to the setting.
Local streets mix period cottages, 1930s houses and executive homes, so one-size designs rarely work. We match materials and planting to each property type—crisp driveways for 1930s frontages, softer cottage-style borders, and contemporary terraces for higher-end plots. In North Cheam and Worcester Park, access and parking can be tight, so we plan deliveries and storage to keep neighbours and buyers happy. The result is consistent quality across the whole development, not just the show plot.
We start with a site walk, levels check and drainage review, then provide a clear scope, programme and specification. Installation covers hard landscaping, street planting, boundary treatments and final detailing, with snagging handled promptly. Our teams work to agreed working hours, protect new surfaces, and keep walkways safe and clean. Clients trust us for transparent communication, dependable timelines and long-term maintenance contracts that preserve kerb appeal.
Cheam’s mix of mature trees, clay-heavy soils and established streets means drainage, root protection and access planning matter. We specify permeable options where suitable, manage levels carefully, and coordinate deliveries to minimise disruption. Working in the London Borough of Sutton, we factor in conservation considerations and highway requirements for crossings and street planting. That local know-how keeps approvals smoother and finishes sharper.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and number of units. As a guide, front garden and driveway packages often start from £3,000–£8,000 per plot, while rear gardens with patios, turf and planting are commonly £4,000–£12,000. Communal areas and street planting are priced by scope and phasing, typically from £10,000 upwards. We provide a detailed breakdown by phase, with options to value-engineer.
Timescales depend on phasing, access, weather and how much groundwork is required. A single plot front garden and driveway may take 3–7 working days, while a rear garden with patio, turf and planting is often 5–10 days. Communal areas can run from 2–6 weeks, especially where levels, drainage or retaining details are involved. We build a programme that aligns with build completion and handover dates.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage and vehicle crossovers. In many cases, using permeable paving or directing runoff to a suitable soakaway avoids planning issues. Conservation area constraints may apply around Cheam Village, and highway approvals may be needed for dropped kerbs. We check requirements, advise on compliant specifications, and can support with drawings and paperwork where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, steps and constructed features, subject to correct use and normal ground conditions. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we pass those details on at handover. Soft landscaping is supported with clear establishment guidance, and maintenance contracts are available to protect planting performance. Any snagging issues are scheduled and resolved promptly.
We offer a wide palette to suit period cottages, 1930s homes and executive plots: porcelain or sandstone patios, block paving and permeable systems for driveways, timber or composite decking, and a range of fencing, brickwork and railings for boundary treatments. Planting can be formal evergreen structure, wildlife-friendly mixes, or low-maintenance schemes for rentals. We present samples, propose specifications to match your elevations, and balance aesthetics with durability and budget.
