A new-build garden often arrives as compacted subsoil, uneven levels and a basic handover finish. Our team upgrades plots across SM5 with full garden design, turfing, patios, fencing, planting and proper drainage. We regularly work near Carshalton Ponds and Carshalton Beeches, creating gardens that look complete from day one. If you want a show-home feel without the snagging headaches, we can take it from blank slate to final detail.
Carshalton has a mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and well-kept period properties, each with different proportions, access and boundary quirks. We design layouts that suit family living—clear pathways, practical seating zones and planting that won’t overwhelm smaller plots. For homes around Hackbridge and Wallington, we also factor in privacy, overlooking and wind exposure when choosing fencing and screening. The aim is a garden that fits the property style and works in everyday use.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear design plan, then schedule works in logical stages: groundworks, drainage, hard landscaping, then soft landscaping. You’ll get transparent specifications for materials, edging, falls and finishes, so there are no surprises. Our crews keep access tidy, protect existing surfaces and communicate daily progress. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable timelines, clean workmanship and a result that stays looking sharp.
In the London Borough of Sutton, we often find compacted ground and uneven levels on new plots, so soil improvement and drainage are key. Parking and access can be tight on residential streets, especially near Carshalton House and busier routes, so we plan deliveries and waste collection carefully. We also account for mature neighbouring trees and root zones where relevant, adjusting pathway bases and planting choices. The result is a garden built to suit local conditions, not a generic template.

Costs vary with plot size, access and specification. As a guide in Carshalton, a simple turfing and basic planting refresh may start around £1,500–£3,500. A mid-range package with patio installation, fencing and drainage commonly falls between £6,000–£15,000. Full garden design with premium paving, lighting-ready ducting, bespoke features or show home gardens can be £15,000–£35,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on weather and the amount of groundwork required. A small plot with turfing, a short pathway and planting might be completed in 3–5 days. Larger gardens with patio installation, fencing, drainage and multiple levels can take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by curing time for concrete bases, delivery lead times for materials, and any snagging from the developer that needs coordinating.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary treatments, installing extensive hardstanding, or managing surface water in a way that affects the highway. In the London Borough of Sutton we also consider drainage requirements and permeable solutions where needed. We’ll flag any permissions early and can help you check with the council if required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as patios, pathways, edging and related construction where specified. This covers issues arising from installation faults, such as movement due to incorrect base build-up or poor falls. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. Living elements like turf and plants are affected by weather and aftercare, but we give clear maintenance guidance and can offer follow-up visits to help everything establish well.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean, modern patios, sandstone for a warmer period-friendly look, and resin-bound or gravel-style pathways for permeability. For fencing, homeowners often choose closeboard for privacy or slatted panels for a lighter finish. Planting schemes range from evergreen screening to pollinator-friendly borders with low-maintenance shrubs and grasses. We’ll recommend options based on light levels, soil condition, how you use the space, and the style of your Victorian, Edwardian or 1930s property.
