Denmark Hill’s role as a medical hub means outdoor spaces often need to work hard for wellbeing and recovery. Whether you’re near King’s College Hospital or a short walk from Denmark Hill station, we create gardens that are safe, legible and uplifting. Our designs prioritise smooth, accessible pathways, clear sightlines and comfortable seating areas. Sensory planting and memory gardens bring colour, scent and familiar cues through the seasons.
Across SE5 you’ll find Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and purpose-built flats, each with different access and layout challenges. We’re used to tight side returns, stepped thresholds and narrow gates common around Camberwell and Herne Hill. Raised beds can be tailored for wheelchair users or seated gardening, while safe boundaries and handrails improve confidence on sloped or uneven ground. We also plan shade structures to make courtyards and patios usable in warm weather.
We start with a site visit to assess mobility needs, supervision requirements and maintenance capacity. You’ll receive a clear design proposal, material options and a programme that minimises disruption to residents. Our team installs with cleanliness and safeguarding in mind, then hands over with simple care guidance. Many clients choose us for care home gardens denmark hill area because we communicate clearly and deliver consistent, high-quality finishes.
Many gardens in the London Borough of Southwark sit on mixed London clay, so we specify robust sub-bases and drainage where needed. Access and parking can be restricted on residential streets around SE5, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Period properties often have narrow entrances and level changes, which we address with thoughtful path widths, gentle gradients and discreet handrails. We also consider proximity to neighbours and create quieter, more private seating zones.

Costs vary with access, levels and the features required. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with safer surfacing, seating and sensory planting may start from £4,000–£8,000. A medium garden with accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails and secure boundaries is often £10,000–£25,000. Larger schemes including shade structures, memory garden elements and drainage can be £25,000–£60,000+ depending on specification.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once designs and materials are agreed. A simple upgrade—new paths, a few raised beds and planting—can be completed in 5–10 working days. More complex builds with groundworks, drainage, multiple seating areas, shade structures and handrails typically take 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access in SE5, weather, lead times for bespoke items and safeguarding working hours.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, seating areas and most paths. However, permission can be needed for taller boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, significant level changes, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We check the relevant Southwark guidance, review your site constraints and advise what’s likely to be required. If approvals are needed, we can support with drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving build-ups, edging, raised bed structures, handrails and boundary installations (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like composite decking, pergolas and fixings. Planting is covered separately because establishment depends on watering and seasonal conditions; we’ll advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance visits to support healthy growth.
We tailor options to mobility, maintenance and aesthetics. Popular choices include smooth porcelain or resin-bound paths for easy wheeling, timber or composite raised beds, and sensory planting with lavender, rosemary, grasses and soft-textured perennials. Seating can be backed benches with arms, circular “conversation” layouts, or quiet nooks for one-to-one visits. We’ll present samples, discuss slip resistance and durability, and design a layout that supports supervision and calm wayfinding.
