If your garden feels cramped or awkward, our Small Garden Design & Build in Eastfields creates a layout that’s easy to use and looks larger. We design around how you live—seating, dining, play space, storage—then build it with premium finishes. Homeowners near Eastfields station and along routes towards Figges Marsh often need solutions for narrow plots and overlooked boundaries. We use vertical planting, mirrors and lighting to add depth without stealing floor space.
Eastfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, so no two gardens behave the same. Terraces often need long, slim zoning and clever sightlines, while 1930s semis benefit from multi-function patios and built-in storage. Modern homes and flats around SW16 and CR4 can suit container planting and low-maintenance schemes that still feel lush. We tailor drainage, levels and materials to the property style and how you want to use the garden.
Our process starts with a measured survey and clear space plan, followed by a detailed design and itemised build proposal. We manage the full build—groundworks, paving, planting, lighting and joinery—so you don’t juggle trades. You’ll get practical guidance on low-maintenance choices, plus tidy site management and respectful working around neighbours. Local homeowners trust us for straightforward communication, consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our build work.
We’re used to the access constraints of Eastfields terraces and the parking realities around Eastfields station. Ground conditions across the London Borough of Merton can vary, so we assess drainage and levels before setting foundations and falls. Where gardens back onto neighbouring fences, we use privacy planting and lighting to reduce overlooking. We also keep an eye on council guidance and waste disposal rules so the build stays compliant and tidy.

Costs vary with size, access and finishes, but most small garden projects in Eastfields fall between £4,000–£15,000. A simple refresh with container planting, lighting and minor paving may sit around £4,000–£7,000. A full redesign with new patio, steps, built-in storage, drainage tweaks and planting is often £8,000–£15,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Typical build time is 1–3 weeks once the design is agreed and materials are booked in. A light makeover (containers, beds, lighting, minor paving repairs) can take 3–6 days. Full rebuilds with new paving, walls, joinery, drainage and planting usually take 10–15 working days. Timescales depend on access through the house, waste removal, weather, curing time for concrete, and any level changes.
Most small garden design and build work is permitted development, such as patios, planting, lighting and typical fencing—provided you stay within height and boundary rules. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, significant level changes, or new structures close to boundaries. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can advise on checking London Borough of Merton guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our build workmanship, covering issues such as structural failure of installed hard landscaping (for example, patios, steps, retaining edges and built features) when used as intended. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting and composite materials. Planting is living material, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance options to help it establish well in the first season.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a clean, low-maintenance finish, warm sandstone for character, and composite or hardwood seating with built-in storage. For planting, we often combine evergreen structure with seasonal colour using vertical planting and containers to save floor space. Mirrors and slimline lighting can make narrow gardens feel wider and brighter. We’ll help you choose options that suit your property style, budget and how you use the space.
