Cheam's characteristic mix of Edwardian semis and post-war estates presents unique opportunities for outdoor enhancement. Those tricky sloped gardens running down from Worcester Park Road? Perfect candidates for split-level patios. The clay-heavy soil that plagues gardeners from North Cheam to Belmont makes hard landscaping particularly appealing here.
Natural sandstone complements the London stock brick so prevalent in SM3, whilst porcelain offers frost-resistance crucial for north-facing plots. Drainage considerations become paramount given Cheam's position between the Hogsmill and Beverley Brook watersheds. Proper sub-base preparation prevents the seasonal movement that catches out many DIY attempts, especially on the chalk substrate found beneath parts of Sutton.
Twenty years of transforming gardens between Cheam Village and the A217 corridor builds invaluable local knowledge. Each project reflects understanding gained from hundreds of installations across similar properties.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Budget £4,500-£8,000 for a standard 30m² installation using quality materials. Larger entertaining spaces or premium stone can reach £12,000-£18,000, particularly if levelling work's needed on sloped plots common near Cheam Common.
Absolutely - from the conservation area around St Dunstan's Church in SM2 to the newer developments near Cheam station in SM3. Regular projects span from Ewell borders to Worcester Park boundaries.
Most installations complete within 8-12 working days, weather permitting. Complex designs incorporating steps or retaining walls may extend to three weeks.
Comprehensive decade-long coverage protects against settlement, drainage issues and material defects. Annual inspections during years 1-3 ensure everything's performing as intended.
Definitely - those established oaks and chestnuts dotting Cheam gardens deserve preservation. Root-friendly construction methods and permeable joints maintain tree health whilst creating beautiful spaces beneath their canopy.
