Eastfields gardens come in all shapes, from compact patios to family lawns near Figges Marsh. Our soft landscaping service covers lawn installation, border planting, tree and shrub planting, hedging, topsoil and mulching. We also install irrigation where needed to keep new plants consistent through dry spells. If you’re in SW16 or CR4, we can transform tired beds into a structured, seasonal garden.
The Eastfields area mixes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, so access and garden proportions vary widely. We regularly work around side returns, narrow passages and split-level plots, creating planting that suits the light and privacy needs of each home. Whether you want a low-maintenance front garden in Streatham Vale or a family-friendly lawn near Mitcham, we tailor species and layout to your lifestyle. Our approach keeps planting practical as well as attractive.
We start with a site visit to assess soil condition, drainage, shade and existing planting, then propose a clear plan and specification. Beds are properly prepared with quality topsoil and mulch, and lawns are installed with careful ground levels to avoid puddling. Every job is scheduled and managed by a local team based five minutes away, so aftercare is straightforward. Homeowners trust us for tidy workmanship, transparent recommendations and results that settle in quickly.
Across the London Borough of Merton, gardens can have compact access, mixed ground conditions and areas of heavier clay that hold water. We adjust soil preparation with the right topsoil blends, drainage considerations and mulch depth to stabilise moisture. For streets around Eastfields station and Pollards Hill, we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. Plant choices are also tuned to wind exposure and shade from neighbouring buildings and mature trees.

Costs vary by garden size, access and the amount of soil preparation required. As a guide, lawn installation is often £35–£70 per m² depending on ground works, while border planting commonly starts from £500–£2,500 for design, plants and installation. Hedging can range £40–£120 per linear metre supplied and planted. Irrigation is typically £800–£2,500+ depending on zones and controls.
Most soft landscaping projects in Eastfields take 1–5 days. A straightforward lawn replacement and a few new beds may be completed in 1–2 days, while larger gardens with multiple borders, hedging, tree planting and irrigation can take a week or more. Timescales depend on access, weather, soil condition, and whether we need to import topsoil or remove spoil. We’ll confirm a schedule before work begins.
Soft landscaping such as lawns, planting, mulching and most garden irrigation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if tree works involve protected trees (TPOs). If we’re planting or working near boundaries, we’ll also consider visibility and neighbour impacts. We’ll advise you early and can help check relevant Merton guidance where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, covering installation standards such as bed preparation, levels and irrigation pipework fitting. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on watering, weather and site conditions; we’ll give clear aftercare instructions to maximise establishment. If an issue arises due to installation, we’ll return to inspect and put it right. Optional aftercare visits can be arranged for added peace of mind.
We can create anything from structured evergreen schemes to wildlife-friendly, seasonal planting. Popular options include instant turf or seeded lawns, mixed shrub borders, ornamental grasses, small specimen trees, and formal or informal hedging for screening. Mulch choices include composted bark and soil improvers to boost moisture retention and suppress weeds. We’ll help you choose plants based on sun/shade, maintenance level, pet or child use, and the look you want year-round.
