Peckham’s lively streets and green pockets deserve outdoor spaces that feel safe, welcoming and restorative. Whether you’re close to Peckham Rye Park or near SE15 around Queen’s Road, we design care home gardens that encourage gentle movement and meaningful time outside. From seating areas with shade to sensory planting that changes through the seasons, every element is planned for comfort. We can also incorporate memory gardens that support reminiscence and routine.
Our team understands the variety of properties across Peckham, from Victorian terraces and Georgian houses to converted warehouses near the creative hubs. Access can be tight, levels can be uneven, and existing paving often needs careful reworking for mobility aids. We tailor layouts for wheelchairs, walking frames and assisted walking, without making the garden feel clinical. The result is a dignified outdoor space that suits the building and its residents.
We start with a site visit and a practical design plan, then schedule works to minimise disruption for residents and staff. Safety is built in: secure boundaries, handrails where needed, and non-slip surfaces with clear routes. We keep communication simple, provide written specifications, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Local clients trust us for reliable timings, high-quality finishes and aftercare advice that keeps the garden performing well.
Working across the London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to compact plots, shared access ways and limited parking around Nunhead and Camberwell. Peckham gardens often have clay-heavy soil and older drainage runs, so we plan levels, falls and water management carefully. We also factor in delivery logistics near busy routes and coordinate considerate working hours. If any approvals are needed for boundary changes, we’ll guide you through the process.

Costs vary with access, levels and the features you choose. As a guide in the Peckham area, smaller upgrades (handrails, safer surfacing, a seating nook) often start from £2,500–£6,000. A more complete scheme with accessible pathways, raised beds, sensory planting and secure boundaries is commonly £10,000–£35,000+. Larger sites with shade structures and extensive paving can exceed this. We provide itemised estimates after a survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and how many accessibility features are included. A simple pathway and seating refresh can be completed in a few days, while full regrading, new surfacing, raised beds and planting typically needs 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in SE15, curing times for concrete, and lead times for bespoke handrails or shade structures.
Many garden improvements are usually permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, and replacing paths like-for-like. However, permission may be needed for higher boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. In the London Borough of Southwark we also consider drainage rules and any requirements for works affecting the public realm. We’ll flag risks early and help you confirm what applies.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, raised bed structures, handrails and fixed seating (subject to normal use and maintenance). This covers issues like installation-related movement or failure of fixings. Planting is covered separately because it depends on watering and seasonal conditions, but we supply clear aftercare guidance and can offer maintenance visits to keep the garden thriving.
We design around comfort, safety and ease of navigation. Popular options include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or composite raised beds, scented and tactile sensory planting, and robust benches with arms to aid standing. Memory gardens can include familiar planting themes and clear wayfinding routes. We’ll recommend materials based on slip resistance, maintenance needs and the character of the building, then provide samples to help you choose confidently.
