We design and build care home gardens that encourage gentle movement, social time and quiet reflection. Around Windrush Square and Brixton Market, outdoor space is often compact, so every metre needs to work hard. Our layouts prioritise clear routes, safe boundaries and places to pause. The result is a garden that feels welcoming in all seasons, not just on sunny days.
Brixton’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and modern developments means access and levels can vary widely. In SW2 and SW9 we regularly adapt gardens with steps, narrow side returns and shared entrances. Raised beds make gardening comfortable for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. We also plan shade and seating to suit south-facing courtyards and exposed roof terraces.
Our process starts with a site survey, risk-focused design and a clear schedule that minimises disruption to residents. We install handrails, non-slip surfaces and secure boundaries to support day-to-day care routines. You’ll get transparent specifications, tidy workmanship and practical aftercare advice for staff and families. Many clients choose us because we’re based just 20 minutes away and can respond quickly when needs change.
In the care home gardens brixton area, we plan around tight access, resident safety and busy streets near Electric Avenue and Brixton Academy. Lambeth’s property layouts can mean narrow gateways and limited on-street parking, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider urban microclimates, choosing resilient planting that copes with heat and wind. Where needed, we build in clear wayfinding and memory-garden cues to reduce confusion.

Costs vary with access, levels and the safety features required. As a guide, small upgrades (handrails, safer surfacing, seating) often start around £2,000–£6,000. A mid-sized redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds and sensory planting is commonly £8,000–£20,000. Larger schemes with shade structures, secure boundaries and multiple zones can be £25,000+. We provide itemised options to match budgets and care needs.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on size and complexity. Simple improvements such as a short path, handrails and a seating nook can be completed in a few days. Full redesigns with new levels, drainage, raised beds and boundary upgrades typically take 2–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, delivery windows, weather and any specialist items such as bespoke shade structures.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, especially like-for-like paths, planting, raised beds and most seating areas. However, planning can apply to taller boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. For care home gardens in London Borough of Lambeth, we check constraints early and advise what’s likely to need consent. If permissions are required, we can support drawings and documentation to keep things moving.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, raised beds and structural timberwork (subject to normal use and maintenance). This covers issues caused by installation faults, including movement or failure of installed features. Planting is covered separately because it depends on watering and seasonal conditions, but we specify resilient choices and can offer ongoing maintenance plans to protect your investment.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and the feel you want to create. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible routes, timber or masonry raised beds, and sensory planting with herbs, grasses and high-contrast colour. Seating can be backed benches, armchairs or circular social pods, often paired with pergolas or sail shades. We guide you through durable, easy-clean materials and provide samples before you decide.
