Driveways, Patios and Decking in Carshalton | How to Approach Landscaping Work in a Small Garden

If you want to transform the garden design or landscaping theme of a smaller outdoor space in Carshalton, Koala Landscapes has the expertise needed to optimise layouts while enhancing the functionality and the aesthetics. For those who are looking to have driveways, patios, decking or fencing installed, our experienced team can tailor each project to fit the unique dimensions and characteristics of gardens which have a little less room to work in.

By maximising every square inch of available land, and by using our garden clearance and landscaping skills, we ensure even the most compact space is beautiful, practical and designed around the way you like to live.

Koala Landscapes also has garden maintenance services available.

Here, we outline how our landscapers approach work in smaller gardens with a focus on the specific needs of our valued clients in Carshalton.

Driveways and Patios for Small Gardens in Carshalton

Driveways and patios are essential elements in any garden design, especially in Carshalton where garden space can be limited. At Koala Landscapes, we understand that small gardens need careful planning so as not to overwhelm the space. Everything begins with an in-depth assessment of a garden layout, followed by selecting materials to complement a home and its surroundings.

For driveways, we recommend permeable paving solutions that allow water to drain naturally, preventing flooding and pooling. With the right choice of material, be it concrete, gravel, block paving or resin, we make driveways a practical yet stylish addition to any residential property in the area.

If the job needs a garden clearance, we can usually remove waste in a van and won’t need to add to installation costs by hiring a skip.

When it comes to patios, our garden design team prioritises the efficient use of space without compromising on style. We consider factors such as sunlight exposure, access points and how patios will integrate with outdoor spaces. By choosing light-coloured stones or pavers, we create the illusion of a larger area and make small gardens in Carshalton feel more spacious and inviting.

Very few landscaping companies can match our studious approach.

Garden Decking for Small Gardens in Carshalton

Garden decking is a popular choice for small gardens in Carshalton and this is an option that offers a versatile, low-maintenance solution for enhancing an outdoor living space. At Koala Landscapes, we use decking in timber or composite materials that fits seamlessly into the existing space to ensure it complements the natural flow of a landscaping theme or garden design.

For smaller gardens, raised decking can create the perception of depth and dimension while also providing a functional space for dining or lounging. The choice of material is, of course, critical in a smaller space.

We pay close attention to the edges and borders of decking installations by incorporating planters or seats to add utility and beauty without taking up additional space. This thoughtful approach ensures that the decking area enhances a garden design while making more of the space available.

If a property in Carshalton requires a garden clearance, we may need to use a skip if there is an existing deck or patio in place that needs uplifting.

Garden Fencing for Small Gardens in Carshalton

Fencing plays a crucial role in defining boundaries, or for enhancing privacy in small gardens across Carshalton. In a compact space, the wrong fencing can make a garden feel confined and overshadowed. Koala Landscapes specialises in selecting and installing fencing panels that not only provide security and privacy, but which also contribute to the aesthetic appeal.

Fencing is a common component in a landscaping theme.

For smaller gardens, we often recommend lighter-coloured or slatted fences which allow light to filter through and create a sense of openness. Another effective technique is to use trellis-topped fencing to provide privacy while also offering a place for climbing plants that add a vertical interest.

In addition to standard fencing options, Koala Landscapes can also design bespoke fences to include living walls or integrated lighting which enhance the look and functionality of a garden. Our aim is to create a boundary that protects space while also making small gardens in Carshalton feel larger.

We can include timber fencing construction into a small-scale garden design so that your hard landscaping theme always looks more natural.

Garden Maintenance for Small Gardens in Carshalton

Maintaining a small garden can be challenging, especially when every detail counts. Koala Landscapes offers a garden maintenance service which we tailor to the unique needs of limited outdoor spaces.
