Garden Design in New Malden
Plans, planting and full builds for gardens that work for the way you actually use them.
Garden Design in New Malden (KT3) works around the kind of houses that are typical in this part of SW London. Inter-war semis with rear gardens often 15 to 20 metres deep and 10 metres wide. Most have side access, which simplifies bulk material handling. Most of my work in New Malden is around new malden high street and the streets either side of it. A good design starts by looking at what you've already got: the levels, the trees, the existing patio if there is one, the side that catches the morning sun. Then we plan around the way you actually want to use the garden, not the way the previous owner used it.
New Malden is solidly suburban, with broad streets, inter-war semis, and a strong family feel. Many gardens here are larger than the average for SW London and lend themselves to bigger lawns and proper entertaining patios. Designs that work in New Malden tend to start from the house style and the plot shape rather than from a Pinterest board. A traditional Victorian or Edwardian terrace looks slightly daft with a hyper-modern garden, and a 1930s semi often suits a more architectural design than the typical cottage planting people instinctively reach for. I work with what fits.

Garden Design in New Malden FAQs
Do you handle planning permission queries for New Malden gardens?
New Malden is in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Most landscaping work here is permitted development, but the older parts near the river have conservation status, which can affect what materials are allowed. I'll flag anything that needs a check on your job and, if a formal application is needed, point you to a local architect who handles them.
How quickly can you start a garden design job in New Malden?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller garden design jobs in New Malden can sometimes fit in within a couple of weeks. The best step is a quick call to check current availability.
Do you cover all of New Malden?
Yes. New Malden (KT3) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of New Malden or in a neighbouring area like surbiton, that's still fine.
