Carshalton’s gardens deserve more than a token patio. We create outdoor seating that suits the village feel near Carshalton Ponds and the leafy streets of Carshalton Beeches, balancing comfort with clean lines. Whether you want built-in benches for family gatherings or a dedicated dining space for entertaining, we design it around how you actually use the garden. Every layout is planned for flow, privacy and year-round enjoyment.
Many homes across SM5 include Victorian and Edwardian houses, period properties and well-loved 1930s semis, each with different levels, boundaries and access. We tailor outdoor seating areas Carshalton area homeowners request to match existing brickwork, pathways and planting. For compact plots, we use smart zoning and integrated storage seating. For larger gardens near Oaks Park, we can add multiple destinations—sun lounging, dining and a fire pit—without it feeling busy.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured design and clear specification, then careful ground preparation and precise installation. We manage drainage falls, edging details and safe electrics for lighting, keeping disruption low and the site tidy. You’ll get transparent timelines, quality materials and workmanship backed by a written warranty. Local homeowners choose us because we turn ideas into practical spaces that last through British weather.
We’re used to Sutton-side access constraints, on-street parking and narrow side returns common around Carshalton Beeches and Wallington. Ground conditions vary, so we assess sub-base depth and drainage before laying patios or fire pit zones. We also plan lighting routes discreetly to suit period homes and established planting. If a design affects boundaries or trees, we’ll advise on the right checks before work begins.

Costs vary by size, materials and features. As a guide, a simple patio seating area may start around £2,500–£6,000, while larger designs with built-in benches, pergola seating, lighting and premium paving often fall between £8,000–£20,000+. Fire pit areas, shade structures and electrical works can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SM5.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on excavation, access and the complexity of the build. A straightforward patio can be completed in under a week, while pergola seating, built-in benches, lighting and a fire pit area may take 1–3 weeks. Weather, curing times and any drainage corrections can affect the schedule. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden seating projects are permitted development, especially patios and low-level hard landscaping. However, rules can change if you’re adding taller shade structures, pergolas near boundaries, significant level changes, or working close to protected trees. Some period properties may have additional considerations. We’ll flag any likely permission issues, advise on Sutton council guidance, and help you make the right checks before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our outdoor seating installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, edging failures and installation-related defects. Materials (paving, pergola components, lighting fittings) are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which we pass on. We also give care guidance to help keep joints, surfaces and timbers performing well over time.
Popular options include porcelain patios for a crisp finish, sandstone for a softer traditional look, and clay pavers that suit period homes. Seating can be built-in brick or rendered benches with timber tops, or modular layouts with raised planters. Pergola seating can be timber or aluminium, with slatted or fabric shade. We help you choose finishes, colours and lighting levels to match your home and garden use.
