Woolwich gardens often need smart planning to make the most of limited space, changing levels and overlooked boundaries. Whether you’re near Royal Arsenal or closer to Woolwich Town Centre, we create outdoor layouts that feel calm, private and easy to maintain. Our team delivers complete builds: patios, decking, lawns, planting, fencing, structures, lighting and water features. Everything is designed to suit how you actually live outdoors.
The Woolwich property mix is varied, from Victorian terraces with long, narrow plots to converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments with compact courtyards. We’re used to working around shared access routes, tight side returns and neighbouring walls. If you’re in SE18 or nearby Plumstead and Charlton, we’ll tailor drainage, planting and materials to your garden’s aspect and soil conditions. The result is a space that looks right for the property and performs well year-round.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear design options and a detailed, itemised quote. We manage groundworks, levels, drainage, electrics for lighting and all finishing touches, keeping the site tidy and the schedule realistic. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, high-quality workmanship and a finish that lasts. For back garden landscaping Woolwich area projects, we also plan for access, deliveries and considerate working hours.
Gardens across the Royal Borough of Greenwich can vary from heavy clay patches to made ground near redevelopment areas, so we assess drainage and sub-bases carefully. Woolwich streets can have restricted parking and controlled zones, and some homes have limited rear access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design with regeneration-era properties in mind, including balconies, courtyards and communal boundaries. If you’re near the Woolwich Ferry or Abbey Wood, we’ll factor in wind exposure and shade from taller buildings.

Costs vary with access, ground conditions and the features you choose. As a guide, a small refresh with new turf, planting and minor paving might start from £3,000–£7,000. Mid-size projects with a patio, fencing and lighting often fall around £8,000–£20,000. Full redesigns with multiple levels, decking, structures and water features can be £20,000–£50,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward patio and lawn can be completed in about a week, while builds involving drainage, retaining edges, decking, lighting and planting usually take longer. Timescales are affected by access in SE18, curing times for concrete bases, and weather. We provide a clear programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many back garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing, planting and like-for-like fencing. Planning may be needed for taller boundary treatments, structures close to boundaries, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also apply to drainage and where water is discharged. We’ll flag any likely constraints early and can help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation, covering issues such as sinking due to inadequate sub-base, loose edging, and defects in our build methods. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like paving, composite decking and lighting components. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before you proceed. Good maintenance matters too, and we provide aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
We design to suit your home and lifestyle, from modern courtyard schemes to softer, planted family gardens. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or timber decking, premium turf or seeded lawns, and layered planting with evergreen structure. We can add pergolas, built-in seating, screens, garden lighting and water features for sound and movement. We’ll bring samples, discuss budgets, and recommend options that suit Woolwich conditions and access.
