Bermondsey’s gardens often sit alongside busy streets and compact courtyards, so every metre needs to work hard. We create supportive outdoor spaces for care settings near Bermondsey Street and London Bridge, balancing easy access with a welcoming, residential feel. From tactile planting to clear routes for wheelchairs and walking frames, our designs help residents spend more time outdoors. We can also incorporate memory-garden features that prompt conversation and comfort.
The Bermondsey mix of converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments means access and levels vary widely. In SE1 and SE16, we frequently adapt narrow side returns, shared entrances and roof or podium gardens with careful logistics and quieter working practices. We design for carers as well as residents, with practical storage, robust materials and low-maintenance planting. Where space is limited, raised beds and compact seating areas bring usability without clutter.
We start with a site survey and a clear accessibility plan, then produce a design that prioritises safety, orientation and year-round interest. Our team manages groundwork, surfacing, planting and joinery in a coordinated schedule to minimise disruption. You’ll receive a written specification, transparent options and tidy handover, with aftercare advice for staff or family. Local clients choose us for reliable communication, considerate workmanship and long-lasting finishes.
In the care home gardens Bermondsey area, we plan around controlled parking, delivery windows and busy routes near Tower Bridge and Surrey Quays. Southwark sites can have mixed ground conditions and limited drainage, so we specify sub-bases and permeable options where suitable. Many properties have tight access through archways or communal corridors, so we bring materials in stages and keep walkways clear. We also check any estate or management-company requirements before work begins.

Costs vary with size, access and the level of accessibility needed. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with seating and sensory planting may start around £4,000–£8,000. A fuller build with accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails, safe boundaries and lighting often falls between £12,000–£30,000+. Larger multi-zone schemes can exceed £40,000, particularly where drainage and groundwork are required.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A simple upgrade (planting, seating, minor surfacing) may be completed in 3–7 days, while accessible pathways, raised beds and boundary works typically require 10–15 working days. Timescales depend on access restrictions in SE1/SE16, curing time for bases, weather, and lead times for bespoke items such as shade structures or handrails.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, patios and most raised beds, but rules can change with listed buildings, conservation areas, height of boundary treatments, or lighting near neighbours. For care settings, we also consider safety standards and any management-company or lease conditions. We’ll review the site, flag likely constraints, and advise if a Southwark planning check or application is sensible before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for core hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving build-ups, edging, steps and constructed raised beds, subject to normal use and maintenance. Products and materials (for example, lighting, handrails or shade structures) are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which we pass on in writing. We also offer snagging support after completion to ensure everything performs as intended.
We tailor designs to residents’ needs and the site’s character, from converted-warehouse courtyards to terrace gardens. Popular options include resin-bound or textured porcelain for accessible pathways, timber or brick raised beds, fragrant sensory planting (lavender, rosemary, herbs), and robust seating with arms for easier standing. Memory gardens can include themed planting, signage and gentle landmarks. We’ll guide you through samples, slip resistance and maintenance to choose confidently.
