Raynes Park gardens often need smart zoning to make the most of every metre—especially around SW20 family homes. We design outdoor seating that works for weekday dinners and weekend get-togethers, whether you’re near Raynes Park station or walking distance from Cannon Hill Common. Expect practical layouts, comfortable proportions and finishes that suit your property. The result is a space you’ll use from spring through late autumn.
We regularly work across 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses in Raynes Park and neighbouring Wimbledon and New Malden. These gardens can be long and narrow, with side access that influences material choices and build methods. We design seating areas that complement period brickwork and bay-fronted façades without feeling bolted on. Where privacy is needed, we integrate pergolas, screens and planting to soften boundaries.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear discussion of how you want to use the space—dining, sun lounging, or fireside seating. We then produce a practical design, specify materials, and schedule works to minimise disruption and keep access safe. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear communication and a written 10-year warranty on our installation. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, clean finishes and seating that stays solid year after year.
We plan outdoor seating areas in London Borough of Merton with typical site constraints in mind: tight side passages, shared boundaries and limited on-street parking. Raynes Park plots can have variable levels and compact patios, so we set accurate falls for drainage and keep thresholds neat at back doors. We also consider local expectations for boundary heights and structure placement, and we’ll advise if anything needs a check with Merton guidance before work starts.

Costs vary by size, groundwork and features. As a guide, a simple paved patio seating area often starts around £2,500–£5,000. Mid-range builds with built-in benches, lighting and improved drainage commonly fall between £6,000–£12,000. Larger schemes with pergola seating, premium stone, fire pit areas and bespoke joinery can reach £12,000–£25,000+. We provide itemised estimates after a site visit.
Most patio and seating projects take 3–10 working days, depending on access, excavation and curing time. A straightforward patio with minimal levels changes can be completed in under a week. Adding pergolas, built-in benches, lighting, or a fire pit area usually extends the programme to 1–3 weeks. Weather, material lead times and hidden issues (old concrete, poor sub-base) can also affect timings.
In many cases, garden seating areas such as patios, low walls and pergolas fall under permitted development, so formal planning permission isn’t usually needed. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary-adjacent structures, or significant changes to levels and drainage. We’ll discuss your specific layout and check practical constraints, including any relevant Merton guidance, before confirming the final design and build approach.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor laying, or jointing failures. It’s designed to give peace of mind that your patio, built-in seating and associated structures are built correctly from the ground up. Materials (pavers, lighting fittings, pergola components) are covered by their manufacturer warranties, and we’ll explain those at handover.
We design outdoor seating areas Raynes Park homeowners can tailor to their lifestyle: porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance finish; sandstone or granite for a more natural look; and composite or hardwood for bench tops and pergola seating. Popular layouts include dining spaces near the house, sun lounging areas at the rear, and fire pit zones with curved built-in benches. We help you choose finishes based on slip resistance, colour, drainage and how your garden is used.
