Elephant & Castle’s regeneration has brought smart courtyards, roof terraces and compact gardens alongside long-established streets in Walworth and Kennington. We create brick and stone features that add structure and privacy without eating up valuable space. Whether you’re near Elephant Park or close to Strata Tower, we tailor the design to suit your layout and lifestyle. Expect clean lines, tidy finishes and materials chosen to complement your property.
Homes across SE1 and SE17 range from Victorian terraces to new-build apartments and modern high-rises. That mix calls for thoughtful detailing—matching brick tones on period boundaries, or using contemporary blocks and stone caps for newer developments. We’re used to working with shared access routes, internal courtyards and tight side returns. If you want a low-maintenance look, we can integrate planters and raised beds that keep planting contained and easy to manage.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a practical design that considers drainage, levels and access. We build on proper footings, use quality mortar mixes, and finish with neat pointing and durable coping where needed. You’ll get a written scope, realistic timescales and respectful workmanship from start to finish. Local homeowners choose us for consistent communication, clean working practices and results that stay solid year after year.
In the London Borough of Southwark, access and parking can be tight, especially around Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre and busy main roads. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to reduce disruption in managed blocks and terraced streets. Ground levels and drainage vary between older plots and newer landscaped developments, so we set correct falls and sub-bases before any brickwork starts. Our detailing also accounts for shared boundaries and party-wall sensitivities.

Costs depend on size, access and materials. As a guide, small planters or raised beds often start from £450–£1,200, while garden walls commonly range from £1,500–£6,000+ depending on height, length and foundations. Feature builds like BBQ areas, fire pits or stone seating can be £1,200–£5,500+. We’ll survey your SE1/SE17 property and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most smaller builds (planters, short walls, a simple fire pit) take 1–3 days. Larger projects such as full boundary walls, multiple raised beds, pillars and a BBQ area typically take 1–2 weeks. Timescales vary with curing time, ground preparation, drainage changes, and access restrictions common around Elephant & Castle developments. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden features are permitted development, but rules can apply to wall heights near highways, listed buildings, conservation areas, or work affecting shared boundaries. In Southwark, some newer developments also have estate or management-company guidelines. We’ll flag any likely permissions, check constraints where relevant, and can advise on drawings or specifications if an application is needed. It’s always best to confirm before construction begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for brickwork and masonry landscaping, covering structural integrity and installation-related defects under normal use. This includes issues such as unstable walls or failures caused by incorrect bedding, pointing or foundations. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by external factors like major groundworks by others. We also recommend suitable aftercare to keep finishes looking their best.
We can build with London stock bricks, reclaimed bricks, contemporary wire-cut bricks, and a range of natural stone or porcelain coping. Popular options include rendered planters, brick-on-edge detailing, stone caps, arched openings, and integrated seating around fire pits. For BBQ areas, we can incorporate heat-resistant linings and worktops to suit your cooking setup. We’ll bring samples, match existing brickwork where possible, and design to fit your space and budget.
