Garden Design in Wimbledon
Plans, planting and full builds for gardens that work for the way you actually use them.
Garden Design in Wimbledon (SW19) works around the kind of houses that are typical in this part of SW London. In the Village and on the hill, large gardens with mature trees and conservation area considerations. Lower down, terraces with narrow rear gardens. Listed and conservation work needs sympathetic materials. Most of my work in Wimbledon is around wimbledon common 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.
Wimbledon ranges from the Village at the top of the hill, with grand period houses and conservation areas, down to the more compact terraces nearer the station and beyond. Variety of garden sizes. Designs that work in Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon FAQs
Do you handle planning permission queries for Wimbledon gardens?
Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller garden design jobs in Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon?
Yes. Wimbledon (SW19, SW20) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of Wimbledon or in a neighbouring area like raynes park, that's still fine.
