Garden Design in Raynes Park
Plans, planting and full builds for gardens that work for the way you actually use them.
Garden Design in Raynes Park (SW20) works around the kind of houses that are typical in this part of SW London. Edwardian terraces and inter-war semis with rear gardens around 12 to 15 metres deep. Most have side gates. Most of my work in Raynes Park is around cottenham park 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.
Raynes Park has a residential, community feel: a high street built around the station and surrounded by neat streets of Edwardian and inter-war housing. Designs that work in Raynes Park 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 Raynes Park FAQs
Do you handle planning permission queries for Raynes Park gardens?
Raynes Park is in the London Borough of Merton. Wimbledon Village and parts of the conservation area have stricter rules than the rest of the borough. 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 Raynes Park?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller garden design jobs in Raynes Park 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 Raynes Park?
Yes. Raynes Park (SW20) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of Raynes Park or in a neighbouring area like wimbledon, that's still fine.
