Pollards Hill’s quiet streets and green spaces make it ideal for gardens that work harder. We design and build outdoor seating that suits how you live—dining spaces, sun lounging areas, or a cosy corner by a fire pit. Whether you’re close to Pollards Hill Recreation Ground or popping to Pollards Hill Library, we’ll help you turn unused lawn into a practical, inviting place to sit. Every detail is planned for comfort, durability and easy maintenance.
Homes across SW16 include plenty of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, each with different garden shapes and access. We’re used to narrow side passages, shared boundaries and sloping plots, and we design around them without compromising the finish. From compact courtyards to longer family gardens, we create seating zones that feel balanced and spacious. Our layouts also consider privacy, shade and the best sun angles through the day.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss how you’ll use the space, and recommend the right surfaces and structures. Then we handle groundworks, drainage and levels properly, so patios stay stable and puddle-free. You’ll get clear timelines, tidy working practices and a finish that matches your home. Local homeowners choose us because we’re nearby, responsive, and we stand behind our workmanship.
We regularly work on outdoor seating areas in London Borough of Merton, where gardens can have mixed ground conditions and varied levels. Around South Lodge Avenue and nearby roads, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also factor in drainage and fall direction so water runs away from the house. Designs are tailored to local property styles, keeping proportions right for 1930s plots and maisonette gardens.

Costs vary by size, materials and features. As a guide, a small patio seating area might start around £2,000–£4,000, while mid-sized designs with quality paving often fall between £5,000–£10,000. Adding built-in benches, pergola seating, lighting or a fire pit area can take larger projects to £12,000–£20,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit in SW16.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on excavation, access and the amount of groundwork required. A simple patio can be completed in under a week, while seating zones with pergolas, built-in benches, lighting and a fire pit area typically take 1–2 weeks. Weather, curing times and any drainage or level corrections can affect the schedule. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
In many cases, garden seating areas such as patios, paving and low-level features are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re adding taller structures like pergolas, building near boundaries, altering drainage significantly, or if your home has restrictions. We’ll advise on what’s likely required and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Merton before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our outdoor seating builds, covering installation issues such as movement due to poor base preparation, loose edging, or failures in our laid surfaces. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain those at quotation stage. The warranty assumes normal use and basic maintenance, and we’ll give you care guidance for paving, timber and lighting.
We can build seating spaces in porcelain, sandstone, granite, brick or concrete paving, with edging to match your garden style. Popular options include built-in rendered or brick benches, pergolas in timber or aluminium, and fire pit areas in stone or steel. Shade structures can be fixed or retractable, and lighting can include step lights, uplighters and warm festoon runs. We’ll help you choose based on budget, maintenance and how you entertain.
