If your outdoor space needs a smarter layout, better drainage or a fresh look, Fine Landscaping provides a full design-and-build service in Cheam. We create practical, stylish gardens for busy families and entertaining, with options from patios and driveways to planting and water features. You’ll see our work across SM2 and SM3, including projects near Cheam Village and Nonsuch Park. Every build is planned for long-term performance, not quick fixes.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and executive homes calls for different approaches to levels, access and detailing. We’re used to narrow side passages, shared drive entrances and protecting original brickwork and boundary lines in conservation-sensitive streets. Whether it’s a front driveway upgrade in North Cheam or a rear patio and lawn redesign near Worcester Park, we tailor materials and construction methods to suit the property. Planting plans are chosen for year-round structure and manageable upkeep.
We start with a site visit to understand how you use the garden, then produce a clear design and itemised specification. Our team handles hard landscaping, soft landscaping and finishing touches in a coordinated schedule, keeping the site tidy and neighbours considered. You’ll get transparent communication, realistic timescales and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable project management and crisp, durable finishes.
As landscaping contractors in London Borough of Sutton, we plan around local access, parking and delivery constraints common in Cheam streets. Ground conditions vary, so we assess soil, levels and existing drainage before setting falls and soakaway options. We also consider conservation-area sensitivities near landmarks such as Lumley Chapel, choosing detailing that suits traditional frontages. Our designs fit the property style while meeting practical needs for bins, bikes and family use.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, small patio refurbishments often start from £2,500–£5,000, while larger patios with steps, lighting and drainage can be £8,000–£20,000+. Driveways typically range from £6,000–£18,000 depending on area and surfacing. Full garden redesigns combining hard and soft landscaping commonly fall between £15,000 and £50,000+ for executive-home plots.
Most projects run from a few days to several weeks. A straightforward patio or fencing job may take 3–7 days, while a new driveway is often 1–2 weeks including excavation and curing time. Full garden transformations with levels, retaining walls, planting and water features typically take 3–8 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, lead times for materials, and whether utilities or drainage need upgrading.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, but there are key exceptions. Front driveways may need compliant permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway, and work near boundaries can trigger party wall considerations. If your property is in or near Cheam’s conservation area, extra restrictions may apply to walls, gates or certain finishes. We check the rules, advise on SuDS-compliant options, and can support any applications if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping installations such as patios, driveways, retaining features and structural timber work, subject to normal use and maintenance. It covers issues arising from installation defects, for example movement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before work starts.
We design around your home’s style and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, composite or hardwood decking, and contemporary slatted or closeboard fencing. Soft landscaping can include premium turf, meadow areas, structured evergreen planting and low-maintenance borders. We bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and create a layout that works with levels, drainage and lighting.
