New homes often come with compacted soil, uneven levels and a basic handover finish. We provide a complete New Build Landscaping service tailored to Cheam, from Full Garden Design through to Turfing, Patio Installation and Planting. Whether you’re near Cheam Village or backing onto routes towards Nonsuch Park, we’ll create a garden that suits how you live. We also build Show Home Gardens that photograph well and stand up to footfall.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes means garden layouts vary widely, even on the same road. In North Cheam and Worcester Park, we regularly work with narrower side access and existing boundaries that need careful setting out. Around SM2 and SM3, new-build plots can sit beside mature gardens, so privacy screening and tidy fencing lines matter. We design to complement the property style while keeping maintenance realistic.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and access, then produce a clear design and specification. Our team installs the groundwork properly—sub-bases, falls and edging—so patios, pathways and lawns perform through winter. You’ll get a written schedule, tidy working practices and straightforward communication throughout. Local homeowners trust Fine Landscaping for consistent finishes, reliable aftercare and a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship.
New-build gardens in the London Borough of Sutton often have compacted subsoil and builder’s rubble that needs removing and conditioning. We plan deliveries and waste collection around residential parking and tighter access common in Worcester Park and North Cheam. Where plots sit close together, we prioritise drainage, privacy planting and robust fencing lines. We also consider nearby trees and shade patterns, especially on edges towards Nonsuch Park.

Costs vary with plot size, access and specification. As a guide in Cheam, turfing and soil preparation for a small garden might be £1,500–£3,500. A patio installation typically ranges from £3,000–£8,000 depending on paving choice and groundwork. A full new build landscaping package (design, levels, drainage, paving, fencing and planting) often falls between £8,000–£25,000+.
Most new build garden projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are booked, with larger or more complex designs taking 4–6 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage requirements, retaining work, and the amount of paving and fencing. Weather can affect excavation, turfing and jointing. If you’re working to a completion date, we can phase the job so key areas are usable sooner.
Most garden landscaping—turf, patios, paths, planting and typical fencing—falls under permitted development. However, there are exceptions, such as higher fences next to highways, significant changes to levels, drainage connections, or restrictions on new-build estates and conservation areas near Cheam Village. We’ll flag any potential issues and can help you check Sutton Council guidance. If permissions are needed, we’ll design within the rules.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship for key installations such as patios, pathways, edging and structural groundwork, provided the specification is followed and the area is used as intended. This covers issues linked to installation, such as sub-base failure or movement caused by poor construction. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also give clear aftercare guidance for turf and planting establishment.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone for a softer look, and resin-bound or gravel paths for permeability. For boundaries, closeboard fencing with concrete posts is common, while slatted screens add a modern finish and privacy. Planting often mixes evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus low-maintenance shrubs for busy households. We’ll guide you through samples, layout options and a design that fits your budget and lifestyle.
