Many gardens around Wallington station and Wallington Square sit on gentle slopes or have awkward level changes that waste space. A well-planned terrace garden turns that gradient into practical zones for dining, play and planting. We combine retaining walls, steps and multi-level borders to create structure without losing softness. The result feels natural, but works much harder for your household.
Wallington’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer developments often comes with narrow side access and shared boundaries. We design terraces that suit these plots, keeping levels comfortable and sightlines open. For family homes in SM6, we often introduce seating areas and lighting to extend use through the evening. Planting is selected for year-round interest and manageable maintenance.
We start with a site visit and level survey, then produce a clear design with materials, drainage strategy and planting plan. Our build team handles groundworks, retaining structures, steps, irrigation and electrics in a coordinated programme. You’ll get tidy working practices, transparent staging, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners trust us because we deliver precise finishes and gardens that perform in real weather.
In the terrace gardens Wallington area, we regularly work with clay-heavy soils and variable drainage, so we specify proper sub-bases, land drains and soakaway solutions where suitable. Access can be tight in Beddington and Hackbridge, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and mature trees near parks such as Beddington Park. Our designs align with typical plot widths and the practicalities of family life in SM6.

Costs vary with levels, retaining wall type, access and finishes. As a guide, smaller terracing and step projects often start around £8,000–£15,000. Mid-size builds with engineered retaining walls, drainage solutions, lighting and planting commonly fall between £15,000–£35,000. Complex multi-level schemes with seating areas, water features and irrigation can be £35,000–£70,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most terrace garden builds take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on the number of levels and the amount of groundworks. A compact scheme with one retaining wall and steps may be completed in around 10–15 working days. Larger projects with multiple walls, drainage, lighting, irrigation and water features typically take 4–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing times for concrete, and material lead times.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, but terracing can trigger rules if it significantly alters ground levels, affects drainage, or involves tall retaining walls near boundaries. If your property is in a sensitive location or you’re close to shared access routes, extra checks may be needed. We review your proposals against London Borough of Sutton guidance and can advise when a planning application, building control input, or party wall agreement is sensible.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural landscaping elements such as retaining walls, steps, paving build-ups and installed drainage systems, provided they’re used and maintained normally. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, lighting and irrigation components). We also give clear aftercare guidance for planting and seasonal checks. If an issue arises, we respond quickly and put it right.
We tailor each design to your home and budget, from contemporary to traditional. Popular retaining wall options include brick to match the house, natural stone, porcelain-faced systems, and rendered blockwork. Steps and terraces can be finished in sandstone, porcelain paving, resin-bound surfaces or quality concrete flags. We can add integrated seating, subtle water features, low-glare lighting and irrigation. We’ll guide you through samples, durability, slip resistance and maintenance before you decide.
