If you need a garden sorted quickly, close to New Malden station, you are usually after one thing: a reliable pair of hands who can turn up, get stuck in, and leave the place looking decent without making the whole job a project.

If you live near New Malden High Street, you already know the rhythm of a town-centre home garden is a bit different.

Period homes have a particular charm, don't they? The brickwork, sash windows, boundary walls, old paving, maybe a clipped hedge or two quietly framing the front garden.

If you live in KT3, you already know the challenge: a patio that gets used for everything, a small yard that needs to feel calm rather than cramped, and a garden that has to do a lot with not much space.
