East Dulwich homeowners want gardens that work for family life and entertaining, not just a quick tidy-up. Whether you’re near Lordship Lane or walking distance to Dulwich Park, we create outdoor spaces that look great year-round. Expect thoughtful layouts, quality workmanship, and planting that suits your light levels. We can integrate patios, decking, lawns and structures into one cohesive design.
SE22 is full of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with long, narrow plots and level changes. We’re used to side-return access limits, shared boundaries and existing brickwork that needs careful detailing. Our back garden landscaping East Dulwich area service balances character features with modern finishes. The result is a garden that complements your home rather than fighting it.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss drainage and sun patterns, then produce a clear plan and itemised quote. Every build is managed end-to-end: groundworks, paving, timber, planting and electrics for lighting. We keep the site tidy, communicate timelines, and protect neighbouring fences and walls. Local homeowners choose us for consistent standards, transparent pricing, and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
In East Dulwich we often find London clay, so we prioritise drainage, sub-bases and the right soil improvement. Access can be tight around period terraces, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and parking issues. We also design with neighbouring sightlines in mind, using fencing, trellis and planting for privacy. Our back garden landscaping in London Borough of Southwark is tailored to local property styles and practical constraints.

Most back garden landscaping works are permitted development, including patios, decking at appropriate heights, planting, fencing within limits, and typical garden lighting. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, high decking, boundary treatments, or if drainage affects public sewers. We flag potential issues early, advise on permeable paving and run-off, and can help you check Southwark Council guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our landscaping installations, covering defects caused by installation issues such as sub-base failure, poor levels, or fixings and joinery problems. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like paving, composite decking, lighting transformers and pumps. We also give clear aftercare advice for lawns and planting, and we’re available to inspect and resolve any snagging promptly.
We design around your style and maintenance preferences. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or hardwood decking, durable turf or seeded lawns, and layered planting with evergreens and seasonal colour. For boundaries we fit closeboard fencing, slatted screens or trellis, plus pergolas and built-in seating. Lighting can be subtle spike spots or step lights, and water features range from rills to compact fountains. We help you compare samples on-site.
