If your garden needs a full rethink, Fine Landscaping delivers tailored landscaping that suits Cheam’s mix of family homes and mature plots. We design and build spaces that work for entertaining, play and low-maintenance day-to-day living. Whether you’re close to Cheam Village or bordering Nonsuch Park, we’ll create a finish that looks established, not rushed. Expect careful setting-out, clean lines and planting that thrives.
Homes across SM2 and SM3 often come with generous rear gardens, side access challenges, and existing features that need integrating. We regularly work on period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes, improving flow from the house to the garden. In North Cheam and Worcester Park, we often replace patchy lawns and dated paving with structured terraces, new beds and practical storage zones. Every scheme is planned around drainage, sunlight and how you actually use the space.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear brief and a detailed, itemised proposal covering materials and programme. We handle garden clearance, groundworks, hard landscaping and soft landscaping in the right order to avoid rework. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, tidy working practices and realistic timescales (typically 1–4 weeks). Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent costs and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
We understand the practicalities of landscaping in London Borough of Sutton, including parking, access widths and considerate working near neighbours. Gardens around Cheam Recreation Ground and the conservation area can have mature roots, older boundaries and level shifts that need careful engineering. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption, and we adapt construction methods to suit tighter side passages and existing services. The result is a build that fits the property and performs year-round.

For landscaping in Cheam, most projects fall between £100–£250 per square metre depending on specification and groundworks. Typical overall budgets are around £5,000–£30,000 for a full garden refresh or transformation. Costs vary with excavation depth, drainage, retaining structures, paving choice, and the amount of planting. After a site visit, we provide an itemised estimate so you can see where the money goes.
Most landscaping projects take 1–4 weeks, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward patio-and-lawn refresh may be closer to a week or two, while level changes, retaining walls and extensive planting can extend the programme. Access, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for specialist materials also affect duration. We set out a clear schedule before starting and keep you updated as each stage completes.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing and most planting. However, rules can apply to raised platforms, significant level changes, retaining walls near boundaries, and works within conservation areas around Cheam. Driveway surfacing and drainage can also have requirements. We flag potential permissions early, check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Sutton, and can advise if an application or approval is sensible.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving installation, retaining structures and constructed features, subject to normal use and proper maintenance. This covers issues linked to installation quality, for example movement caused by inadequate sub-bases or poor fixing. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also explain aftercare for planting and lawns to help everything establish well.
In the landscaping Cheam area, homeowners often choose porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer traditional look, and brick edging to suit period and 1930s properties. For structure, we build raised beds, steps, and retaining walls in brick or rendered blockwork. Soft landscaping options include evergreen screening, wildlife-friendly borders and robust lawns. We help you compare samples, plan layouts, and balance style with budget and upkeep.
