Greenwich gardens often deserve a finish that matches their setting, from views near Greenwich Park to the historic streets around the Cutty Sark. We create back gardens that work in every season, combining practical layouts with premium detailing. Whether you want a dining terrace, a family lawn, or a low-maintenance courtyard, we tailor the design to your lifestyle. Our builds include patios, decking, planting, fencing, structures, lighting and water features.
The Greenwich area mixes Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments, each with different access and levels. We’re used to long, narrow plots, split-level gardens and compact terraces where every square metre matters. For period homes, we favour sympathetic materials and planting that suits the architecture. For newer properties, we can create clean-lined composite decking, porcelain paving and contemporary lighting schemes.
We start with a site visit, then produce a clear plan covering levels, drainage, materials and planting. You’ll get a written scope, staged schedule and tidy workmanship from a dedicated team. Every project is built to last, with careful sub-bases, correct falls and robust fixings. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, premium finishes and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
We regularly work across SE10, including Maze Hill and Blackheath edges, where access can be tight and parking needs planning. Many gardens have clay-heavy soils and mature tree roots, so we adjust foundations, drainage and planting choices accordingly. Where properties sit within conservation considerations near historic streets, we help you choose sympathetic materials and layouts. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption on busier residential roads.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide in Greenwich, a small refresh (new patio, turf, planting) often starts around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-sized redesigns with paving, fencing and lighting commonly fall between £12,000–£30,000. Larger, multi-level gardens with structures, premium stone, bespoke joinery or water features can be £35,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after a site visit.
Most projects in the Greenwich area take 1–3 weeks for smaller gardens and 4–8 weeks for full redesigns. Timescales depend on groundworks (levels and drainage), curing time for concrete bases, and the complexity of features such as decking, pergolas, lighting and water features. Access and parking can also affect delivery and removal speed. We agree a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated as work progresses.
Many back garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, planting and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, large outbuildings, and works that significantly alter levels or drainage. In the Royal Borough of Greenwich we’ll flag likely constraints early, check boundaries and heights, and advise if you need to contact the council or submit an application before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our landscaping installations, covering issues related to how the work is built, such as paving movement from incorrect sub-bases or faulty fixings. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking, lighting transformers and certain stone or porcelain ranges. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and we’ll explain care requirements for surfaces, joints and planting at handover.
Popular choices include porcelain patios for low maintenance, sandstone or limestone for a softer, period feel, and composite or hardwood decking for warm texture. We often combine structured planting with evergreen screening, plus discreet lighting for steps and seating areas. Water features can range from simple rills to self-contained bubbling stones. We guide you through samples, drainage needs and style options so the finished garden suits your home and budget.
