New Malden gardens vary from compact courtyards near New Malden High Street to wider family plots by Manor Park. We create outdoor seating that works for how you relax and entertain, whether that’s a dining space for weekend barbecues or a quiet reading corner. Built-in benches, shade structures and lighting are planned together so the area feels cohesive. Every layout is tailored to your access, sun path and privacy needs.
In KT3 you’ll find plenty of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments with shared or smaller outdoor areas. We match materials and proportions to the property, keeping lines clean for contemporary homes and adding warmth and texture for period gardens. If you host friends after visiting the local Korean restaurants, we can prioritise generous dining zones and easy circulation. For family homes, we often blend sun lounging areas with practical storage seating.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a fixed, itemised scope before work begins. Groundworks, drainage, levels and edging details are handled properly so patios stay stable and seating remains comfortable year-round. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and clear communication from start to finish. Our builds are backed by a 10-year warranty for long-term confidence.
We’re used to the access constraints of New Malden’s side passages and shared driveways, and we plan deliveries and waste removal accordingly. Many gardens have clay-heavy ground, so we specify the right sub-base depth and drainage to protect patio areas. Where parking is tight around Raynes Park and Motspur Park, we schedule work to minimise disruption. For outdoor seating areas in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we also consider boundary lines, overlooking and neighbour-friendly lighting.

Most outdoor seating areas new malden area 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 pergolas, built-in benches, lighting and fire pit areas add time. Weather, curing times and any changes to levels or drainage also affect the schedule. We provide a realistic programme before starting.
In many cases, patios, seating areas and pergolas are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if the structure is unusually tall, or if you’re altering levels significantly near boundaries.

We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating area builds, covering installation issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base, poor jointing or faulty fixings.

Popular options include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer natural look, and composite decking for warm, slip-resistant lounging zones. Built-in benches can be rendered, timber-clad or faced in matching stone, and pergolas can be timber or aluminium with optional shade screens. We also design dining spaces, sun loungers, fire pits and layered lighting. We’ll recommend combinations that suit your home and budget.
