Tolworth homeowners often want a garden that looks sharp without spending every weekend weeding and mowing. We design practical, premium outdoor spaces near Tolworth Broadway and around KT6 that cope with family life and changing weather. Expect clean lines, durable materials and planting that keeps its structure through winter. The result is a garden that’s easy to live with and simple to maintain.
Across Tolworth and nearby Surbiton, we regularly transform 1930s semis, post-war houses and newer developments with compact, functional layouts. Many gardens have narrow side access, uneven levels or tired patios that need a fresh approach. We plan for storage, seating and safe play areas without crowding the space. Our designs suit both small courtyards and longer rear gardens typical of KT5 streets.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a design that balances hard landscaping with resilient planting. Groundworks are done properly: weed membrane where needed, stable sub-bases, tidy edging and careful drainage. You’ll receive a clear schedule, material samples and aftercare guidance so the garden stays low effort long-term. Local clients choose us for reliable workmanship, clean sites and consistent communication from start to finish.
Gardens in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames often have mixed ground conditions, with compacted soil and poor drainage in older plots. Around Tolworth Tower and the KT5/KT6 area, access can be tight and parking needs planning for deliveries and waste removal. We adapt with smaller machinery, staged drop-offs and considerate working hours. Our layouts suit suburban family gardens and maximise usable space without adding maintenance.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of materials. As a guide, a small refresh with gravel, membrane, edging and container planting may start around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size gardens with artificial grass and new paving/decking often fall between £7,000–£18,000. Full redesigns including hard landscaping, composite decking and automated irrigation can be £18,000–£40,000+ depending on specification and groundworks required.
Most projects in the low maintenance gardens Tolworth area take 1–3 weeks on site. A small artificial grass and gravel scheme can be completed in 3–6 days, while larger builds with decking, paving, drainage and planting typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, access for skips and materials, curing time for concrete bases, and whether you add irrigation, lighting or bespoke features.
Most garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing lawns with artificial grass, adding gravel areas, installing decking at sensible heights, and general hard landscaping. Planning can be needed if you significantly alter levels, add tall structures, or your property has restrictions (for example, listed buildings or certain new-build covenants). We flag likely issues during the survey and can advise on drainage and permeable surfaces to meet local rules.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed installation elements, covering issues caused by defective workmanship such as unstable sub-bases, poor fixing or failed joints (subject to normal use and care). Manufacturer warranties also apply to products like composite decking, artificial grass and irrigation components, depending on the brand chosen. We provide care notes and can offer maintenance visits to keep everything performing as intended.
We tailor the look to your home and how you use the space. Popular options include premium artificial grass with realistic pile, composite decking in contemporary greys or warm timber tones, gravel with crisp steel edging, and evergreen planting for year-round structure. Container planting works well for patios and smaller KT6 gardens, and automated irrigation keeps it simple. We bring samples, discuss budgets, and design around sun, shade and drainage.
