Those charming Victorian terraces around Epsom station rarely come with sprawling gardens – but that doesn't mean your outdoor space can't be extraordinary. A thoughtfully designed small garden often delivers more joy than acres of lawn ever could.

Working with Epsom's distinctive plot sizes requires a certain finesse. From the narrow strips behind Edwardian semis near the racecourse to those awkward L-shaped spaces tucked behind newer developments off Reigate Road, each compact garden presents unique possibilities. Years of transforming these challenging spaces have taught us that constraints often spark the most creative solutions – whether that's vertical planting for privacy from neighbouring properties or clever zoning that makes twenty square metres feel like fifty.
Small garden construction demands precision at every stage. Foundation depths get calculated to the centimetre when you're building raised beds against shared boundaries. Materials arrive in manageable batches since there's rarely space for bulk storage. Each element serves multiple purposes: that retaining wall becomes integrated seating, the water feature masks traffic noise from the A24, and strategic mirror placement doubles the visual depth. These aren't compromises – they're intelligent design choices that maximise both function and beauty.
Local knowledge matters when every square foot counts. Understanding Epsom's clay-heavy soil, knowing which plants thrive despite the chalk downs' influence, and recognising how afternoon shadows fall differently in KT19's hillier terrain – these insights shape gardens that genuinely work.

Most comprehensive small garden projects in the Epsom area range between £8,000 and £18,000. Simple redesigns with basic landscaping start around £5,000, while intricate builds featuring bespoke elements, lighting, and water features can reach £25,000. The final figure depends on access challenges, material choices, and design complexity.
Absolutely – from the conservation areas of KT17 to the modern estates in KT18 and the leafy roads of KT19 near Ashtead Common. We're equally comfortable navigating the narrow access routes off East Street as we are working with the slightly larger plots towards Epsom Downs.
A typical small garden build takes 2-4 weeks from breaking ground to final planting. Initial design and planning adds another fortnight. Weather permitting, simpler projects finish within 10 working days, though intricate designs with complex hard landscaping might extend to 6 weeks.
Every structural element – patios, walls, pergolas – carries our decade-long guarantee against defects. Plants come with a 12-month establishment warranty, assuming proper maintenance. We document all underground services and provide detailed care guides specific to your garden's microclimate and soil conditions.
Definitely. Smart design integrates play elements seamlessly – artificial grass that looks convincing, built-in storage benches that hide toys, raised beds with rounded corners doubling as balance beams. Many Epsom families are surprised how a 40-square-metre garden can accommodate both adult entertaining space and safe play zones through clever level changes and multifunctional features.
