If you want a garden you’ll actually use, a well-planned seating layout changes everything. We design and build outdoor seating areas around how you live—morning coffee, family dinners, or relaxed evenings by a fire pit. Many clients near Morden Hall Park ask for flexible zones that feel open but still private. We also work across SM4, including Morden Park and Morden South.
Morden’s mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates and newer developments means no two gardens are the same. Narrow side access, stepped patios and uneven lawns are common, especially around St Helier and Lower Morden. We tailor levels, drainage and finishes so seating feels generous without sacrificing planting space. The result is a garden that suits family homes and modern lifestyles alike.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a written specification so you know exactly what’s included. Our team handles groundworks, bases, electrics coordination for lighting, and tidy finishing details such as edging and step lighting. You’ll get practical guidance on maintenance and safe use of fire features. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful work on occupied homes, and consistent build quality.
We’re used to Morden’s clay-heavy soils and the drainage challenges they can bring, so we build proper sub-bases and falls to prevent puddling. Parking and access can be tight near Morden station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For 1930s semis, we often match brick tones and period-friendly paving. For modern plots, we lean into clean lines, porcelain and discreet lighting.

Costs vary by size, materials and features. A simple patio seating area typically starts around £2,500–£5,000. Mid-range projects with steps, built-in benches and lighting often fall between £6,000–£12,000. Larger designs with pergola seating, premium paving and a fire pit area can be £12,000–£25,000+. We’ll provide a clear itemised quote after a site visit.
Most patio-based seating areas take 3–7 working days. If you’re adding built-in benches, pergola seating, lighting and multiple levels, allow 1–3 weeks depending on complexity. Timescales can change with access constraints, removal of existing concrete, drainage upgrades and curing time for mortar or concrete bases. We confirm a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, patios, pergolas and garden seating features are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re in a conservation area, the structure is unusually tall, or you’re altering levels significantly near boundaries. Fire pits and lighting usually don’t require permission, but we still consider safety and neighbour impact. We’ll flag any concerns and help you check Merton’s requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating area builds, covering issues such as failed sub-bases, movement caused by incorrect installation, and defects in construction detailing. Manufacturer warranties on paving, pergola components or lighting are passed on where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of routine maintenance. We also explain how to care for joints, sealants and timber finishes.
We can create anything from a classic sandstone patio dining space to sleek porcelain paving with linear lighting. Popular choices include built-in brick or rendered benches, timber or composite pergolas, and sun-lounging decks. Fire pit areas can be formed in stone, metal bowls, or gas-ready installations where suitable. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your home style, budget, and how you want to use the space.
