New builds often come with compact lawns, uneven levels and heavy, compacted soil that needs expert attention. We create complete outdoor spaces for SW12 homeowners, from first design to the final planting. Whether you’re near Balham station or closer to Tooting Bec Common, we’ll shape a garden that suits how you live. Expect crisp edges, smart surfaces and a layout that works in every season.
Balham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions means gardens can be long and narrow, shaded, or accessed via side returns. We plan around tricky boundaries, shared fences and limited storage space, common around Bedford Hill and Balham Hill. If your new-build sits behind period streets, we’ll design a garden that complements the property rather than looking like an afterthought. Our team is based just 15 minutes away, so site visits and aftercare are straightforward.
Our process starts with a measured survey, clear drawings, and a specification that avoids surprises. We install drainage, levels and sub-bases correctly before laying patios, turf and pathways, so the finish stays stable. You’ll get tidy working practices, reliable scheduling and regular updates throughout. Homeowners choose us because we combine premium workmanship with a practical, low-maintenance approach.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, access and parking can affect deliveries and waste removal, so we plan logistics early. Many Balham gardens sit on compacted ground after construction, making drainage and soil improvement essential before turfing. We also account for overlooking windows and boundary lines, common in mansion conversions and terrace plots. The result is new build landscaping Balham area homeowners can enjoy immediately, without ongoing fixes.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a straightforward new-build garden with turfing, basic planting and fencing might start around £3,000–£7,000. Adding a quality patio, pathways and improved drainage often brings budgets to £8,000–£20,000+. Show-home style schemes with bespoke joinery, lighting and premium paving can exceed £25,000. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once materials are booked in, with smaller gardens sometimes completed in under a week. Timescales depend on groundworks, drainage requirements, curing time for concrete bases, and the amount of paving or fencing. Access near Balham High Road and restricted parking can also affect deliveries. We’ll give a realistic programme and keep you updated if weather or supply lead times change.
Many rear garden works—patios, turfing, planting, standard fencing and pathways—are usually permitted development. However, rules can apply to fence heights, front garden hardstanding, drainage to the highway, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas. We’ll flag any likely constraints and can advise on permeable paving and compliant drainage. If permissions or approvals are needed, we help you understand what to submit and when.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible hard landscaping installations, such as patios, sub-bases, retaining edges and drainage runs, subject to normal use and maintenance. Planting and turf are living materials, so coverage depends on season, aftercare and watering, but we’ll advise you clearly and provide an establishment plan. If an issue relates to installation, we return promptly to inspect and put it right.
For Balham homes, popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer period feel, and resin-bound or gravel paths for permeability. Fencing options range from contemporary slatted screens to traditional closeboard with trellis. Planting often mixes evergreen structure with pollinator-friendly perennials, plus pleached trees for privacy. We’ll tailor layouts, levels and finishes to your light, soil and lifestyle, and show samples before you decide.
