Balham gardens often need smart, space-efficient upgrades that look great year-round. Whether you’re near Balham station, along Balham High Road, or closer to Nightingale, we handle everything from concept to completion. Our team combines hard landscaping with detailed planting to create gardens that feel considered, not cookie-cutter. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication and finishes that elevate your home.
The Balham area is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, many with long, narrow plots and tricky levels. We design layouts that improve flow from kitchen to garden, add storage and seating, and make small spaces feel larger. For family homes near Tooting Bec Common, we can include durable lawns, safe paths and low-maintenance borders. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and a practical design that matches your budget and timeline. You’ll receive a written specification, material samples and a staged programme for each phase—groundworks, build, and planting. Our builds are backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty, and we keep you updated with regular check-ins. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean sites and a finish that lasts.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth, we’re used to coordinating skips, parking suspensions and considerate working hours on residential streets. Many SW12 gardens have clay-heavy soil and mature trees, so we plan drainage, root protection and planting accordingly. Access can be restricted around Bedford Hill and Balham Hill, so we organise deliveries in smaller loads when needed. The result is a smoother build with fewer surprises.

Costs vary by access, ground conditions and specification. As a guide in Balham, a small refresh with planting and minor hard landscaping may start around £2,500–£6,000. A new patio with drainage and lighting often falls in the £6,000–£15,000 range. Full garden redesigns with paving, fencing and new turf/planting commonly range from £15,000–£45,000+ for larger plots.
Timescales depend on scope and weather. A straightforward patio or decking area typically takes 1–2 weeks, while a driveway installation is often 1–3 weeks including sub-base and curing time. A full garden transformation with multiple trades (paving, fencing, planting, water features) usually takes 3–8 weeks. Access constraints, drainage upgrades and bespoke joinery can extend the programme.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Driveways may need compliant permeable surfacing or drainage to avoid planning issues, especially if you’re creating a new hardstanding. Boundary fences can have height limits, and listed buildings or conservation areas may require consent. We flag any likely constraints early, recommend suitable materials, and can help you check requirements with Wandsworth Council.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as unstable paving, poor levels or defective fixing methods. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like paving, composite decking or lighting. We also give clear aftercare guidance for planting, lawns and timber so your garden beds in well. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
We tailor designs to your home’s style and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain patios for a clean, modern look, sandstone for character, and resin-bound or block paving for driveways. For boundaries we install closeboard, slatted or contemporary composite fencing, plus timber or composite decking. Soft landscaping can include evergreen structure, wildlife-friendly planting and instant turf. We bring samples and refine layouts before work starts.
