If your new home has been handed over with uneven subsoil, builders’ rubble and a basic lawn, we can transform it into a practical outdoor space. Our team delivers complete new build landscaping packages across SM4, including patios, fencing, planting and drainage. We regularly work near Morden station and around Morden Park, so we understand the access and parking realities on new developments. The result is a garden that looks finished, not temporary.
Morden has a mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates and modern developments, each with different garden proportions and levels. We design layouts that suit family living—space for dining, kids’ play and low-maintenance borders—without wasting square metres. In areas such as Lower Morden and St Helier, we often improve tired levels and compacted ground before laying turf or paving. For newer plots, we plan for privacy, screening and long-term plant performance.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule works in logical stages: groundworks, drainage, hard landscaping, fencing and planting. You’ll receive a detailed specification, tidy working practices, and a handover checklist so you know what’s been installed and how to care for it. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable communication, consistent workmanship and a finish that stands up to daily use. We’re only 15 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.
New build plots in the London Borough of Merton often have heavy, compacted ground and shallow topsoil, so we prioritise soil improvement and drainage. We plan deliveries and waste removal around residential parking and narrower access routes, especially near Morden Hall Park and busier roads by Morden station. Where levels drop away from the house, we set correct falls and install soakaway solutions where suitable. Our designs also suit the typical Morden garden size, balancing usable paving with planting that won’t overwhelm the space.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification, but most projects in the SM4 area fall into clear bands. A tidy-up with soil prep and turfing might start around £1,500–£3,500. A mid-range package with patio, fencing and planting is often £6,000–£15,000. Larger gardens or show-home style schemes with drainage, lighting and premium paving can reach £20,000+.
Most gardens take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are booked and the design is agreed. A simple turfing and basic patio job can be completed in a few days, while full garden design with drainage, multiple paved areas, fencing and planting usually needs 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, weather, curing time for mortar, and lead times for fencing, paving and plants.
Many garden works are permitted development, including patios, paths, turfing, planting and like-for-like fencing, but there are important exceptions. Front garden paving may need permeable construction to comply with drainage rules, and fence heights can be restricted in certain positions. New developments can also have planning conditions that affect boundaries and materials. We check constraints, advise on compliant options, and can help you confirm requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as patios, pathways, edging and installed timber structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. It covers issues like settlement caused by inadequate base preparation or incorrect installation. Natural materials and living plants have their own limitations, but we specify suitable products and give care guidance to improve establishment. Any snagging items are handled promptly after completion.
We tailor the look to your home and how you’ll use the space. Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer finish, and composite or treated timber decking for raised areas. For boundaries, we install closeboard, slatted or acoustic fencing with matching gates. Planting can range from evergreen screening to pollinator-friendly borders, with gravel, sleepers and edging to define zones. We’ll guide you through samples and a clear layout plan so decisions feel easy.
