Balham gardens often need smart layouts that work for busy family life and entertaining. We design and build outdoor spaces near Balham station, Bedford Hill and across SW12 with a strong focus on drainage, durability and planting that thrives. Whether you want a new patio, fresh turf, or a complete rework, our team handles soft and hard landscaping end to end. Every project starts with a practical plan and a finish that suits your home.
The Balham area is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, many with long, narrow plots and overlooked boundaries. We’re used to improving privacy, creating zones, and making the most of limited width without losing greenery. In Nightingale and Clapham South, we regularly rebuild worn paths, refresh lawns, and add structured planting for year-round interest. Our designs balance clean lines with softer, natural textures so gardens feel inviting rather than overbuilt.
You’ll get a clear scope, itemised costs and a staged programme before work begins. We take care of garden clearance, ground preparation, levels, retaining structures and finishing details, keeping disruption low and neighbours informed. Our team protects access routes, manages waste responsibly and leaves the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, high standards and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We’re familiar with the practicalities of landscaping in London Borough of Wandsworth, including access restrictions and parking around Balham High Road. Many SW12 homes have stepped gardens or uneven ground, so we plan levels, drainage and retaining work carefully from the start. Where side access is tight, we organise materials and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider nearby trees and the effect on light and root zones, especially close to Tooting Bec Common.

Most projects in Balham fall within £100–£250 per square metre, depending on the build-up, materials and complexity. A straightforward refresh with clearance, new turf and a small patio may start around £5,000–£10,000. Larger transformations with level changes, retaining structures, premium paving and lighting commonly sit between £15,000 and £30,000. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit and measured plan.
Typical landscaping works take 1–4 weeks once the design and materials are agreed. A small patio and planting scheme can be completed in about a week, while full garden transformations with clearance, new sub-bases, walls and multiple finishes take longer. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for concrete, and whether level changes or drainage upgrades are required. We set a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden landscaping changes are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing and most planting. However, rules can apply to significant level changes, taller retaining walls, works near boundaries, listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. Drainage requirements may also affect how hard surfaces are constructed. We flag any likely permissions early, advise on compliant options, and can help you gather the information needed before work starts.
Yes. Our landscaping workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty for the structural elements we install, such as paving build-ups, retaining structures and edging, when used and maintained as advised. It covers defects arising from installation rather than general wear, accidental damage or issues caused by third-party alterations. We also use proven materials and correct sub-base depths to reduce movement and settlement. Warranty details are confirmed in writing with your quote.
Balham homeowners often choose porcelain paving for a clean, modern look, sandstone for warmth, and clay pavers to suit period homes. For soft landscaping, we regularly install hardy lawns, structured evergreen screening, and layered borders for long-season colour. We can also incorporate raised planters, timber or composite seating, and low-glare garden lighting. We’ll guide you through samples, maintenance needs and budget to select a scheme that fits your lifestyle.
