A well-planned care home garden supports mobility, wellbeing and day-to-day routines. In SW9, close to Stockwell tube station and Stockwell Park, we design outdoor spaces that feel welcoming while reducing trip risks and confusion. Expect smooth accessible pathways, clear wayfinding and comfortable seating areas for visits and quiet breaks. Sensory planting and memory gardens add gentle stimulation throughout the seasons.
Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates often brings varied garden sizes and access routes. We’re used to working with narrow side returns, shared pathways and compact courtyards, as well as larger communal grounds. Our designs suit both private care settings and supported living schemes, balancing practical maintenance with a premium finish. We also plan for shade structures and sheltered corners for warmer days.
We start with a site survey, mobility-focused layout plan and a clear schedule that minimises disruption. Every build includes safe boundaries, handrails where needed, and planting chosen for low allergens and year-round interest. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, so aftercare and snagging are handled quickly. You’ll get transparent specifications, tidy workmanship, and a result that works for staff, residents and families.
We understand the practicalities of care home gardens in London Borough of Lambeth, including tighter access on residential streets and timed deliveries. Stockwell’s varied plots can include compact courtyards and sloping sections, so we grade levels carefully and specify robust edging and handrails. We also plan for waste removal, parking constraints near Oval and Brixton routes, and durable materials that stand up to heavy use. Planting is selected to cope with urban conditions and partial shade.

Costs vary with size, access and the level of accessibility required. As a guide, smaller upgrades (handrails, safer surfacing, seating and planting refresh) often start around £3,000–£8,000. A fuller redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds, safe boundaries, shade structures and new planting commonly falls between £12,000–£35,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit in SW9.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for improvements to paths, seating areas, raised beds and planting. Larger schemes with new layouts, drainage, multiple zones and boundary works can take 4–8 weeks. Timescales depend on access for materials, ground preparation, weather, and whether we’re working around residents’ routines. We agree a programme in advance and keep noisy works to sensible hours.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, most paths and typical seating areas. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, tall fencing, lighting, or structures like larger pergolas and shade canopies. We check the site context in the London Borough of Lambeth, advise what’s likely to need consent, and can help prepare drawings or specifications if an application is required.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping elements, such as paving installation, edging and built structures, provided they’re used as intended and maintained sensibly. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products where relevant. Soft landscaping (plants and turf) is covered for an agreed establishment period, as outcomes depend on watering and weather. We also offer aftercare visits to keep everything performing well.
We tailor each scheme to mobility needs and the character of the property. Popular options include resin-bound or smooth paving for accessible pathways, brick edging to suit Victorian terraces, and timber or composite raised beds at wheelchair-friendly heights. For sensory planting, we use scented shrubs, textured grasses and safe, non-toxic choices. We can add memory garden features, clear signage, handrails, and pergolas or sails for shade, then present samples to help you choose.
