Raynes Park gardens often need to do more with less—especially around SW20 where plots can be compact and overlooked. We design and build small gardens that feel bigger through smart space planning, vertical planting and thoughtful sightlines. Whether you’re near Raynes Park station or walking distance to Cannon Hill Common, we’ll turn unused corners into usable outdoor living. Expect clean detailing, durable materials and planting that suits your lifestyle.
Many local homes are 1930s semis with narrow side access, plus Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses with long, slim plots. We tailor layouts to these proportions, creating multi-function areas for dining, play or relaxing without crowding the space. Container planting is ideal for patios and paved gardens, while built-in storage keeps tools, bikes and cushions out of sight. If neighbouring windows overlook the garden, we can add screening and mirrors to improve privacy and light.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal, then a build schedule you can rely on. We handle everything from groundworks and drainage to lighting, planting and finishing touches, with tidy working practices throughout. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent communication, high-quality workmanship and a finish that lasts. You’ll also get aftercare guidance so your new garden stays looking sharp with minimal effort.
We’re used to the access constraints of Raynes Park terraces and 1930s semis, including narrow alleyways and shared boundaries. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels, drainage and soil before specifying bases and planting. We plan deliveries and parking to reduce disruption on residential streets, and we’ll flag any London Borough of Merton requirements early. If you’re in Wimbledon, New Malden, Motspur Park or West Barnes, we can be on site in around 20 minutes.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple refresh with new paving, planting and lighting might start around £3,000–£7,000. A full small garden redesign with new patio, raised beds, built-in storage, electrics and premium finishes is often £8,000–£20,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit so you can see exactly what’s included.
Most small garden builds take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward patio, planting and lighting can be completed in around a week, while projects involving level changes, drainage, bespoke joinery or multiple zones may take longer. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for materials. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts.
Most small garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, planting, raised beds and garden lighting. However, rules can change if you’re adding tall boundary treatments, significant level changes, structures near boundaries, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll discuss your plans, check likely constraints, and advise if you need to contact the London Borough of Merton or seek formal approval before building.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as patios, paths, retaining work and built structures, when installed to our specification. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting, membranes and certain materials, and we’ll pass those details on. The warranty doesn’t cover neglect, accidental damage or extreme weather events, but we’re always available to advise on maintenance and aftercare.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance finish, or sandstone for a softer, traditional look. We often add vertical planting with trellis or living walls, plus built-in benches and storage to save space. Mirrors can boost light and create depth, and layered lighting makes the garden usable year-round. We’ll recommend options based on your budget, style and how you want to use the space—day to day and in summer entertaining.
