Southfields gardens can feel compact, but they’re full of potential for relaxing and entertaining. We design outdoor seating that suits how you live—sun lounging areas, dining spaces, and cosy fire pit zones. Whether you’re near Southfields tube station or closer to Wimbledon Park, we create layouts that make the most of every metre. Expect clean lines, smart drainage and finishes that look right year-round in SW18.
Local homes here range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to 1930s semis, each with different levels, access routes and existing paving. We’re used to side returns, narrow passages and shared boundaries, so materials and build methods are chosen to minimise disruption. For families in Earlsfield or Putney wanting a practical outdoor room, we balance seating capacity with circulation space. The result is a garden that works for weekdays as well as Wimbledon season gatherings.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design proposal, then schedule the build with tidy, respectful working practices. Our team handles groundwork, sub-bases, drainage falls, electrics for lighting, and final detailing so the space feels finished. You’ll get transparent specifications, staged payments, and a handover checklist. Homeowners choose us for consistent quality, reliable communication and long-lasting construction.
We regularly build outdoor seating areas in the Southfields area and across SW18, where access can be tight and parking needs planning. Ground conditions vary, so we specify the right sub-base depth and drainage to avoid movement over time. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and party walls typical of terraces, keeping noise and mess controlled. If any elements need checks with the London Borough of Wandsworth, we flag it early and guide you through options.

Costs vary with size, materials and features. As a guide, a simple patio seating area can start from around £2,500–£5,000. Mid-range projects with built-in benches, lighting and better paving often sit around £6,000–£12,000. Larger builds with pergola seating, fire pit areas, premium stone and more electrics can be £12,000–£25,000+. We’ll provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most outdoor seating areas take 3–10 working days, depending on groundwork and complexity. A straightforward patio with minimal excavation may be completed within a week. Projects with built-in benches, pergolas, lighting circuits, or a fire pit typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through the property, waste removal, curing time for concrete, and weather. We agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden seating areas, patios and pergolas fall under permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, adding tall structures near boundaries, or working close to listed buildings. We’ll check the key constraints for your property in the London Borough of Wandsworth and advise if a planning application or other approvals are sensible before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our outdoor seating area builds, covering issues such as installation defects, unstable sub-bases and problems linked to our construction methods. Manufacturer warranties on paving, pergola components and lighting products apply separately and vary by brand. We also give clear care guidance at handover to help you protect finishes. If anything needs attention, we respond promptly and aim to resolve it without fuss.
We can create dining spaces and lounging zones using porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, or high-quality concrete flags. Built-in benches can be rendered, brick-faced to match your house, or finished with timber or composite tops. Pergola seating and shade structures can be timber or aluminium, with optional slatted screens. Fire pit areas can be gas-ready or wood-burning (where suitable), and lighting can include step lights, uplighters and warm festoon runs. We’ll recommend options that suit your garden, budget and maintenance preferences.
