Kennington gardens often need clever planning to feel spacious, private and easy to maintain. Whether you’re near The Oval cricket ground or a short walk from Kennington Park, we create layouts that suit how you live outdoors. Our back garden landscaping covers patios, decking, lawns, planting, fencing, structures and lighting. Every design is tailored to SE11 proportions and the way London gardens are used year-round.
The Kennington area includes Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks, each with different access and garden shapes. We regularly work with long, narrow plots behind terraces in Oval and mixed-level courtyards near Vauxhall and Elephant & Castle. Materials and detailing are chosen to complement period brickwork, iron railings and mature boundary walls. If you’re in a flat with a shared outlook, we can add screening and planting to improve privacy without blocking light.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a practical design that balances budget, drainage and maintenance. You’ll receive a clear specification, staged schedule and transparent costs before work begins. Our team protects pathways and interiors, keeps neighbours in mind, and leaves the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for back garden landscaping kennington area projects because we deliver crisp finishes and dependable aftercare.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many Kennington gardens sit behind terraces with steps, basements or level changes, so falls and drainage are set out precisely. We also consider party walls and neighbour boundaries when installing fencing, structures or lighting. If needed, we can advise on permeable surfaces and drainage to reduce standing water after heavy rain.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a patio refresh with planting can start around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-range transformations with new paving or decking, lawning, fencing and lighting often fall between £10,000–£25,000. Larger, design-led gardens with structures, bespoke joinery or water features can be £25,000–£60,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects run from 1–2 weeks for a straightforward patio, fencing and tidy-up, to 3–6 weeks for a full redesign with paving, decking, lawns, planting and lighting. Complex builds with retaining work, structures or water features can take 6–10+ weeks. Timescales depend on access through the property, weather, curing times for bases, and lead times for bespoke materials. We agree a schedule before starting.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing patios, adding decking within limits, and installing typical fencing. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary heights, adding large structures, or changing drainage arrangements. Flats and mansion blocks may also have lease or freeholder requirements. We’ll flag likely permissions early and can help you check Lambeth guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as patios, decking subframes, fencing and built structures, when used and maintained as advised. This covers issues arising from installation, like movement due to inadequate base preparation. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also offer aftercare guidance for lawns and planting to help everything establish well.
We tailor designs to your home and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or hardwood decking, formal lawns or low-water planting, slatted fencing and trellis screening, pergolas and built-in seating, and warm LED lighting. Water features can be subtle rills or compact bubbling bowls for courtyards. We bring samples, discuss maintenance, and recommend options that suit your light levels and budget for back garden landscaping in London Borough of Lambeth.
