Expert garden renovation services in Wimbledon, SW19. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Merton.
Wimbledon's gardens are among southwest London's finest, with many properties enjoying plots of a quarter acre or more. SOM Development designs and builds garden renovations that match the scale and ambition of these exceptional outdoor spaces, creating landscapes that provide year-round beauty, functionality, and enjoyment.
Properties around Wimbledon Village, Copse Hill, and the streets near the Common often have established gardens with mature trees, old hedgerows, and original features such as brick walls and garden paths. We work with these existing elements, integrating them into comprehensive new designs that honour the garden's history while meeting contemporary needs.
Our Wimbledon garden projects frequently include multiple distinct zones: a formal terrace for dining and entertaining near the house, a generous lawn for sports and play, a productive kitchen garden, and a naturalistic wildflower area that supports local wildlife. Changes of level, specimen planting, and water features create interest and drama throughout the garden.
For the larger Wimbledon gardens, we also design and build significant landscape features: swimming ponds, tennis courts, pergola walks, and garden pavilions that create destination spaces within the landscape. These ambitious elements are designed with the same attention to detail as our residential interiors.
Wimbledon's gardens benefit from larger-than-average plots, good soil, and proximity to Wimbledon Common—which creates a semi-rural atmosphere unusual for a London suburb. The Wimbledon Village Conservation Area protects trees and hedgerows, and Merton Council values the area's green character.
The quality of the garden is a significant factor in Wimbledon property values, and the area's family demographic values functional, beautiful outdoor spaces. A professionally designed garden is one of the most effective investments a Wimbledon homeowner can make.
“SOM redesigned our large Wimbledon garden into a series of rooms—a formal rose garden, an organic kitchen garden, a natural swimming pond, and a wildflower meadow. It is an absolute paradise and the envy of the neighbourhood.”

Our landscaping and construction team brings your garden to life — from groundwork and drainage to planting and finishing touches.
Yes, provided the garden has adequate space—typically a minimum of 40 square metres for the pond and planted regeneration zone. We design self-cleaning natural pools that use aquatic plants and biological filters instead of chemicals.
We combine structural evergreens for winter architecture, spring bulbs and blossom trees, summer perennials and roses, and autumn-colour trees and grasses to ensure there is always something of interest. Strategic lighting extends enjoyment into dark winter evenings.
If your garden has sufficient space and appropriate access, we can design and build a tennis court with appropriate surfacing, fencing, and drainage. Planning permission is usually required, and we manage the application process.
