Your Wandsworth Common & Balham Garden ‘Room’
For many homes around Wandsworth Common and Balham, the garden is an important extension of the living space. A well-planned garden can provide somewhere to entertain, dine outdoors, relax after work, give children space to play or simply create a greener outlook from the house.
The properties around Wandsworth Common have a distinctive character, with Victorian and Edwardian houses, period terraces and larger homes close to the Common. Areas around Bolingbroke Grove, Spencer Park, Elsynge Road and Wandsworth Common West Side offer very different garden opportunities, from compact urban plots to more generous gardens with established planting.
Balham adds another layer of variety. Around roads such as Nightingale Lane and the streets leading towards Wandsworth Common, you find period properties where the garden often needs to work particularly hard. A well-considered layout can create separate areas for dining, planting, storage and relaxation without making the garden feel crowded.
Our approach is always to start with the property and how you want to use the space. We then develop garden concepts that make the most of the available area, whether that means opening up a small garden, creating stronger connections between the house and garden or dividing a larger space into distinct outdoor rooms.
Low maintenance is also an important consideration for many of our clients. Our low maintenance garden design solutions combine durable landscaping materials, carefully selected planting and practical features to create a garden that continues to look good without demanding constant attention.

Design, Landscaping & Planning
Outdoor Creations have been designing, landscaping and building bespoke gardens for homes in Wandsworth Common and Balham for over 20 years.
Every project starts with understanding you, your home and how you want to use your outdoor space. We combine creative garden concepts with practical construction experience to develop a scheme that suits your property, your lifestyle and your budget.
Our garden designers can help with everything from the overall layout and planting scheme to patios, paving, decking, fencing, lighting, garden buildings and outdoor living areas.
Where planning or other permissions need to be considered, we can advise on the appropriate approach before work begins. This is particularly relevant to some properties around Wandsworth Common where conservation area or other local planning considerations may apply.
Once the scheme has been agreed, our team can manage the landscaping and construction, coordinating the different elements of the project through to completion.

“We had an initial meeting to discuss how we'd use the garden and chat about our gardening capabilities (minimal). He worked with us to select appropriate plants and choice of paving stone, fence etc. The construction team where neat, tidy and friendly. I can highly recommend using them.”
Imogen, West Kensington
"Our garden continues to stun and amaze – a guy came to fix a sticking door on the 'garden escape' (aka the shed) said it was probably the best setting he'd ever seen - and he's seen a few."
