If your garden near Raynes Park station needs a lift, soft landscaping is the fastest way to add colour, structure and year-round interest. We handle lawn installation, border planting, hedging and tree planting with the right topsoil and mulch for long-term results. Whether you want a family-friendly lawn or a more planted look for entertaining, we tailor the plan to your space. We regularly work across SW20, including routes towards Cannon Hill Common.
Raynes Park gardens often sit behind 1930s semis, with practical access and defined boundaries that suit crisp lawns and layered borders. Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses can have narrower plots, where smart shrub planting and hedging create privacy without stealing space. We design planting schemes that look good from the house and mature well over time. Our soft landscaping Raynes Park area service is built around how local families actually use their gardens.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, light and soil condition, then recommend the right topsoil depth, planting mix and irrigation approach. Every job is installed neatly, with clear aftercare guidance so your new lawn and plants establish quickly. We schedule work to minimise disruption and keep the site tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, careful planting, and workmanship backed by a written warranty.
In Raynes Park and wider Merton, gardens can vary from compact courtyards to long rear plots, so access and waste removal need planning. We often find tired, compacted ground under old turf, so we improve it with screened topsoil and organic matter before planting. Parking and deliveries are arranged to suit residential streets, and we keep paths and shared access clear. Our planting choices also account for shade from neighbouring houses and mature trees.

Costs depend on garden size, access, and how much ground preparation is needed. As a guide, lawn installation typically ranges from £18–£35 per m² supplied and laid, while planting beds (plants, compost and labour) often start around £600–£1,500 for a small scheme. Hedging can be £45–£120 per linear metre depending on species and size. Irrigation is usually £900–£2,500+ for typical gardens.
Most soft landscaping projects in SW20 take 1–3 days for smaller gardens, and 1–2 weeks for larger gardens with multiple borders, hedging and tree planting. Timescales depend on ground conditions, the amount of excavation and topsoil needed, and whether irrigation is being installed. Weather can also affect turf laying and planting. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated as the job progresses.
Soft landscaping such as lawns, planting, mulching and most hedging is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, there can be restrictions if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Some works near boundaries can also have rules. We’ll ask the right questions, check what’s relevant for Merton, and advise before any planting or removals.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which applies to the installation quality and standards of our work. For living materials such as turf, shrubs and trees, establishment depends on watering, weather and aftercare, so plant guarantees are more limited and vary by supplier. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and provide practical aftercare steps to maximise success, especially during the first 6–12 weeks.
We can create anything from a clean, modern scheme to a fuller cottage-style garden. Popular options include durable turf or premium seeded lawns, evergreen structure with box alternatives, mixed shrub borders, ornamental trees, and wildlife-friendly planting. Mulch choices include composted bark and soil improvers to suit your planting. If you want easier maintenance, we’ll select slower-growing shrubs and drought-tolerant plants, and can add irrigation for consistent watering.
