From Camberwell Green to Denmark Hill station, outdoor space is a valued part of daily life in SE5. We create care home gardens that encourage gentle movement, social time and quiet reflection. Expect smooth accessible pathways, handrails where needed, and seating areas positioned for sun and shade. Planting is chosen for colour, scent and seasonal interest without creating hazards.
Camberwell’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments means gardens vary from compact courtyards to longer, narrow plots. We’re used to working with tight side access, shared entrances and sensitive neighbouring boundaries common around Peckham and Dulwich. Our designs make the most of limited space with raised beds and clear circulation routes. Where larger grounds exist, we can zone areas for activity, therapy and rest.
We start with a site visit and a practical design that prioritises safety, maintenance and resident enjoyment. You’ll receive a clear scope, materials schedule and programme before work begins. Our team keeps sites tidy, manages deliveries carefully, and maintains safe access throughout the build. Many clients choose us for our reliable communication, quality finishes and long-term aftercare options.
We understand the practicalities of working in the London Borough of Southwark, including parking controls and timed deliveries near busy routes by King’s College Hospital. Camberwell gardens can have compact footprints, mature trees and mixed ground conditions, so we specify robust sub-bases and reliable drainage. We also plan for discreet storage, secure boundaries and low-maintenance planting suited to urban microclimates. Our approach suits both period properties and newer developments in the Camberwell area.

Costs depend on access, size and the level of accessibility required. As a guide, small upgrades such as handrails, safer surfacing and seating often start around £2,500–£6,000. A more complete scheme with accessible pathways, raised beds, sensory planting, shade structures and secure boundaries is commonly £10,000–£35,000+. We provide itemised options so you can prioritise what matters most.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, with design and ordering time beforehand. Smaller works (new seating areas, handrails, raised beds and planting) can be completed in a few days. Larger builds with new pathways, drainage, boundary works and shade structures may take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, weather, curing times for surfaces, and lead times for bespoke items.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, most paths, and typical seating areas. However, permission may be needed for taller boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, works to listed buildings, or sites within conservation areas. For care settings, we also consider safety standards and any management requirements. We’ll review the site, advise what’s likely to apply, and help you check with Southwark where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for qualifying installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as unstable paving, poor edging restraint or improper fixing of features. Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of maintenance, but we’ll explain simple care steps at handover. Aftercare visits can be arranged for ongoing peace of mind.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and maintenance levels. Popular options include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or composite raised beds, and robust seating with arms for easier standing. Sensory planting can feature lavender, rosemary, grasses and colourful perennials, while memory gardens may include familiar heritage varieties. Shade structures range from pergolas to sail shades. We’ll help you choose durable, safe finishes that suit the site and budget.
