We create seating zones that feel purposeful—whether that’s a dining space for summer meals or a fire pit area for cooler evenings. Clients around Wandsworth Town and near Wandsworth Common often want layouts that work for both adults and children. We plan circulation, privacy and lighting so the space is comfortable from day to night.
Across SW18 you’ll find Victorian and Edwardian houses with long, narrow plots, plus modern riverside apartments that benefit from compact, well-detailed terraces. We tailor levels, edging and drainage so patios sit neatly against existing thresholds and garden steps. For period homes in Earlsfield and Southfields, we can echo traditional brickwork and stone tones while adding contemporary comfort. Where space is tight, built-in benches and integrated storage keep the area uncluttered.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear design proposal showing seating zones, materials and lighting positions. We handle ground preparation properly—sub-bases, falls and robust fixings—so the finished area stays stable and drains well. You’ll get a written schedule, tidy working practices and respectful neighbour-friendly build days. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.

Our designs suit local property styles, from period terraces to newer developments, without overbuilding the space.

Projects with pergola seating, built-in benches, lighting, multiple levels or extensive groundwork usually take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, demolition, drying times for concrete bases, and whether we’re running electrics for lighting. We’ll confirm an accurate programme after surveying your garden in Wandsworth.
Many garden seating projects are permitted development, especially like-for-like patios and low structures. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, adding a tall pergola or shade structure, or installing fixed features close to boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise when it’s sensible to check with the London Borough of Wandsworth or seek written confirmation before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating installations, covering issues linked to construction such as sub-base failure, loose edging or settlement caused by inadequate preparation. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like lighting, composite materials or pergola components. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse or extreme weather events, but we’re always available to inspect and advise if anything looks off.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance finish, sandstone or limestone for a softer traditional look, and brick detailing to suit Victorian and Edwardian homes. Built-in benches can be rendered, brick-built or timber-topped, and pergolas can be timber or aluminium. We can add fire pit areas, dining spaces, sun lounging zones, shade structures and layered lighting. We’ll help you choose options that match your style, budget and how you use the garden.
