Elephant & Castle’s fast-changing streetscape brings new-build courtyards alongside established residential blocks, and care settings need gardens that work in all seasons. We design and build outdoor spaces that support mobility, routine and social connection, close to places such as Elephant Park and the Strata Tower. From accessible pathways to shaded seating areas, every detail is planned to reduce trip risks and encourage gentle activity. We also create memory gardens that spark conversation and familiarity for residents and visitors.
Our team regularly works across SE1 and SE17, where properties range from modern high-rises and new-build apartments to Victorian terraces in Kennington and Walworth. These settings often come with tight access routes, shared entrances and limited storage, so we plan deliveries and installation carefully. Whether you need a secure courtyard upgrade or a full garden redesign, we tailor layouts to wheelchairs, walking frames and staff workflows. The result is a garden that looks premium while remaining practical and robust.
We start with a site survey, risk-aware design, and clear recommendations for levels, drainage and circulation routes. You’ll receive a transparent specification covering handrails, safe boundaries, planting plans and maintenance needs, with options to suit different budgets. Our builds are scheduled to minimise disruption to residents, with tidy working practices and daily site checks. Local clients choose us for reliable communication, durable finishes and a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship.

Costs vary by access, levels and how many safety features you need. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with seating, planting and minor path works is often £3,000–£8,000. A mid-sized redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails and new planting typically falls between £10,000–£25,000. Larger schemes with shade structures, secure boundaries and drainage upgrades can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once the design and materials are agreed. A simple upgrade—new seating areas, sensory planting and small raised beds—can be completed in 3–7 working days. Full rebuilds with new pathways, level changes, handrails, lighting and boundary works usually require 2–6 weeks. Timescales depend on site access (especially for high-rises), weather, lead times for bespoke items and any drainage work.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, most paths and like-for-like boundary repairs. However, permissions can apply to new tall fencing, structures, significant level changes, and works near listed buildings or within conservation areas. For care home gardens in London Borough of Southwark, we review the site constraints, advise what’s likely to need consent, and can help prepare drawings and information for any council queries.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship, covering installation defects in hard landscaping such as paving, edging, steps, handrails fixings and built structures when installed to our specification. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many products, including composite decking and certain shade structures. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently; we’ll specify aftercare and can offer maintenance plans to protect establishment and keep the garden performing well.
We offer a wide range of options to suit safety, durability and appearance. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or composite raised beds, stainless or powder-coated handrails, and pergolas or sail shades for sheltered seating. Sensory planting can focus on fragrance, tactile foliage and high-contrast colour for visibility. We guide you through samples, maintenance levels and slip resistance to select the best combination for residents’ needs.
