Victorian terraces and modern townhouses throughout Wimbledon share one challenge - making every square metre count. Whether you're working with a narrow plot behind a period property or a courtyard space, thoughtful design transforms limitations into features.

Small gardens demand creative thinking, especially in SW19 where space comes at a premium. From the conservation area properties near the Common to the Edwardian homes along Ridgway, each garden presents unique opportunities. Maximising vertical space, choosing the right materials, and understanding how light moves through your plot throughout the day - these details matter when you're designing within boundaries.
Construction in compact spaces requires precision planning. Access through narrow side returns, protecting neighbouring boundaries, and working around established trees all factor into the build process. Modern techniques like modular installations and lightweight structural elements mean even the tightest spaces can accommodate water features, raised beds, or outdoor kitchens. The key lies in sequencing work efficiently to minimise disruption to both your household and neighbours.
Twenty years of designing gardens between Wimbledon Village and Raynes Park has taught us which plants thrive in sheltered courtyards and which materials weather best in our microclimate. Local knowledge matters when you're selecting evergreens that won't outgrow their space or choosing paving that complements the London stock brick so common in SW20.

Complete transformations typically range from £8,000 to £25,000, depending on complexity. A simple redesign with new planting and basic paving might start around £5,000, while projects incorporating bespoke features, lighting, and structural elements can exceed £30,000 for premium finishes.
Absolutely - from the compact courtyards near South Wimbledon station to the walled gardens of Wimbledon Village. Regular projects span both SW19 and SW20 postcodes, including Raynes Park's suburban plots and the period properties surrounding Wimbledon Common.
Most small garden projects run 2-4 weeks from breaking ground to final planting. Initial design development adds another 2-3 weeks beforehand. Simpler schemes might wrap up within 10 days, while intricate builds with multiple features could extend to 6 weeks.
All structural elements - retaining walls, paving, pergolas - carry a 10-year warranty against defects. Plants are guaranteed for their first year, provided they receive appropriate care. We document all underground services and drainage modifications for your records.
Definitely - rainwater harvesting, permeable paving, and wildlife-friendly planting work brilliantly in compact spaces. Small gardens often benefit most from sustainable approaches, as every element serves multiple purposes. Green walls, for instance, provide privacy, support biodiversity, and help manage surface water runoff.
