Nunhead gardens often need clever zoning to balance dining, play and planting without feeling cramped. We design and build patios, decking, lawns and borders that work in real life, not just on paper. Whether you’re near Nunhead Cemetery or walking distance to Telegraph Hill Park, we’ll create a garden that feels settled and easy to maintain. We cover SE15 and nearby streets with tidy, considerate site set-ups.
Many homes here are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages, which can mean narrow access and long, shaded plots. Our back garden landscaping nunhead area service is planned around these constraints, from barrowing routes to material choices that suit older brickwork. We regularly work across Peckham, Brockley, Honor Oak and East Dulwich, so we understand the mix of sun, shade and privacy needs. The result is a garden that complements the character of your property rather than fighting it.
We start with a site visit, detailed design, and a clear, itemised quote before any work begins. Installation is managed by experienced landscapers with check-ins at key stages, from groundwork levels to final planting and lighting. We protect existing features, keep neighbours in mind, and leave the site clean each day. Homeowners choose us for back garden landscaping in London Borough of Southwark because we communicate well and build for longevity.
Nunhead plots can have mixed ground conditions, with clay-heavy soil affecting drainage and lawn performance. We specify the right sub-bases, edging and soakaway solutions to keep patios stable and lawns healthy. Access is often via side returns or through the house in terrace rows, so we plan deliveries, protect floors, and schedule skip placement with parking in mind. Where Southwark guidance applies, we help you stay compliant without slowing the project.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a small refresh (turfing, border tidy, minor paving) is often £2,500–£6,000. A mid-size garden with new patio, fencing and planting typically falls around £8,000–£18,000. Full transformations with decking, lighting, structures and drainage can be £20,000–£45,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit in SE15.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks from start on site, depending on scope. A new patio and turf might be 4–7 working days, while adding fencing, planting and lighting can extend this to 2–3 weeks. Larger builds involving structures, water features or significant level changes may take 4–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing times for paving and any drainage work required.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, decking at low level, fencing within height limits, and planting. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re adding taller structures, significant raised decking, or lighting that could affect neighbours. We flag potential permissions early, advise on Southwark requirements, and can help you prepare details for any applications if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for core landscaping installations such as paving bases, retaining work, decking structures and fencing installation (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply to many products we fit, including paving, composite decking and lighting components. We also offer practical aftercare guidance for lawns and planting to help everything establish well. Any issues are handled promptly and transparently.
We tailor designs to your home and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, timber or composite decking, hard-wearing turf or seeded lawns, and layered planting with evergreen structure. For boundaries, we install closeboard, slatted or trellis-topped fencing, plus pergolas and simple garden structures. Lighting can be subtle spike spots or step and wall lights, and water features range from rills to self-contained bowls. We bring samples and layout ideas to help you choose confidently.
