Herne Hill gardens often need smart zoning to balance dining, play and planting. We design and build complete back gardens with patios, decking, lawns, fencing, lighting and water features that suit how you live. Whether you’re near Brockwell Park or a short walk from Herne Hill station, we’ll create a space that feels calm, usable and easy to maintain. Every detail is planned for year-round enjoyment in SE24.
Our team works regularly across the Herne Hill area, including nearby Dulwich, Brixton and Tulse Hill. Many properties here are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, so we’re used to long, narrow plots, level changes and shared boundaries. We design around existing brickwork, bay windows and rear extensions to keep the garden in proportion. Planting plans are tailored for sun pockets, shade from mature trees and privacy needs.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a design that sets out levels, drainage and materials. You’ll receive a transparent scope of works and a realistic programme, with tidy working practices and clear communication throughout. Our builds prioritise solid sub-bases, correct falls and durable finishes, so patios stay stable and lawns establish well. Homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent workmanship and stand behind it with robust guarantees.
Back garden landscaping in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark often involves tight access routes and careful neighbour coordination. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption on residential streets around SE24. Soil can vary from compacted ground to clay pockets, so we specify the right drainage, topsoil and lawn preparation. We also design with mature trees and boundary lines in mind, keeping finishes sympathetic to period homes.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple refresh with turfing, planting and minor repairs may start from £3,000–£7,000. A mid-range build with a new patio, fencing and lighting is often £10,000–£25,000. Full transformations with decking, structures and water features commonly fall between £25,000–£60,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–2 weeks for smaller gardens and 3–6 weeks for full redesigns. Timescales depend on demolition, groundworks, drainage, level changes and the number of elements (patios, decking, fencing, lighting and planting). Access in SE24 terraces can slow material movement, and weather can affect paving and lawn installation. We agree a programme before starting and keep you updated as work progresses.
Most back garden landscaping is permitted development, including patios, planting, lawns and typical fencing, provided height limits and boundary rules are met. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, and works that significantly alter levels or affect trees with a Tree Preservation Order. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on Lambeth or Southwark requirements before you commit to the build.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping, such as patios, bases, retaining edges and built structures, when maintained as advised. This covers defects arising from installation rather than accidental damage, misuse or extreme events. Manufacturer warranties apply to many products, including lighting and certain decking systems. We also offer aftercare guidance for lawns and planting to help everything establish well.
Homeowners often choose porcelain or sandstone patios for clean lines and durability, composite or hardwood decking for warmer zones, and layered planting for privacy. Fencing options include slatted screens, closeboard with trellis, or bespoke timber panels, with pergolas and built-in seating for structure. Lighting can be subtle spike lights, step lights or wall washers, and water features range from rills to self-contained bowls. We guide you through samples and a design that suits your property.
