If your garden looks tired or patchy, soft landscaping can transform it quickly and naturally. We work across KT3, including near New Malden High Street and Manor Park, creating lawns, borders and planting schemes that thrive. Expect clean edges, well-structured beds and planting that looks good in every season. Our team handles everything from soil preparation to finishing mulch.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments often comes with compact lawns, long side returns and shaded rear gardens. We design planting that suits these conditions, balancing privacy, colour and low maintenance. Whether you’re improving a family garden near Beverley Park or refreshing a courtyard space, we tailor the layout to your property. We also factor in the area’s suburban character and the way gardens are used day to day.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage, light and existing soil, then recommend the right topsoil, turf and plant choices. Installation is carried out neatly with clear daily progress updates and careful protection of paths and access routes. Every job is finished with proper watering guidance and optional irrigation for consistent results. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and planting that establishes well.
We’re used to the access and parking realities around New Malden, including narrower drives and shared side passages. Many gardens here have compact footprints and clay-leaning soils, so we prioritise drainage, soil improvement and robust plant selection. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption on residential streets. If your garden borders neighbours closely, we design hedging and screening that stays manageable.

Costs vary with garden size, access, and the amount of soil work needed. As a guide, lawn installation often starts from £900–£2,500 for small to medium areas, while full border planting and mulching can range from £600–£3,000+. Tree planting commonly sits around £250–£900 per tree including staking, and irrigation systems typically range from £1,200–£4,000 depending on zones and controllers.
Most soft landscaping projects take 1–3 days for a straightforward lawn and a few borders, and 1–2 weeks for larger gardens with multiple beds, trees, hedging and irrigation. Timescales depend on ground preparation, whether topsoil is required, plant availability, and weather for turfing and planting. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated if conditions change.
Soft landscaping such as lawns, planting, mulching and irrigation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, there can be exceptions, especially if trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order, or if your property is in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation standards where applicable, covering issues caused by poor fitting, incorrect preparation or avoidable defects. Living materials are naturally variable, so plant and turf performance depends on weather, watering and aftercare, but we give clear care instructions and can provide maintenance visits. If something doesn’t look right after completion, we respond quickly and advise the best fix.
We offer lawn installation with quality turf, topsoil improvement, and mulching options such as composted bark for cleaner, weed-suppressing beds. Planting can include evergreen structure, flowering perennials, wildlife-friendly mixes, and privacy hedging. For trees and shrubs, we recommend varieties suited to space, light and soil. We’ll propose a planting palette, spacing plan and irrigation approach that matches your maintenance preferences and budget.
