We create supportive outdoor spaces for care settings across Streatham Hill, from quiet courtyards to larger communal gardens. Designs are planned around daily routines, mobility needs and supervision, with clear routes, restful seating and gentle sensory planting. We regularly work near Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road, so we understand local access and logistics. The result is a garden residents can enjoy with confidence in every season.
The Streatham Hill area features Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, and many care properties share similar footprints—narrow side access, level changes and compact rear gardens. Our layouts make the most of limited space using raised beds, handrails and carefully positioned seating areas. We also plan shade structures to reduce glare and heat stress in summer. Every scheme is tailored to the building, staff workflow and resident needs.
We start with a site survey and a practical design that prioritises safe boundaries, slip-resistant surfaces and clear wayfinding. You’ll receive a detailed specification, transparent pricing and a tidy, well-managed build programme. We coordinate deliveries, protect indoor routes, and keep disruption low for residents and neighbours. Homeowners and managers choose us for dependable workmanship, clear communication and lasting finishes.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means planning around controlled parking, timed deliveries and tighter street access, especially near SW2. We often see clay-heavy soils and compacted ground, so we specify robust drainage and soil improvement where needed. Many Streatham Hill properties have steps or split levels, and we adapt with gentle ramps, handrails and clear edges. We also design with maintenance in mind for busy care teams.

Costs vary with size, access and the level of accessibility required. As a guide, smaller upgrades (new paths, a few raised beds and seating) often start around £3,500–£8,000. Mid-sized refurbishments with safe boundaries, sensory planting and lighting are commonly £9,000–£20,000. Larger schemes including shade structures, extensive paving and memory garden features can be £20,000–£45,000+. We provide itemised quotes after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and surfacing. A simple pathway and raised-bed installation can be completed in 3–7 working days. More complex builds with drainage, handrails, shade structures and multiple seating zones typically run 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for bespoke items such as pergolas or railings.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including planting, raised beds, most paving and standard fencing within height limits. However, permissions can be needed for higher boundaries, structures near boundaries, works to listed buildings, or properties within conservation areas. We check the site context, advise what’s likely to apply, and can help with drawings and supporting information if an application is sensible. We also factor in safe access and fire egress requirements.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, such as paving bases, retaining edges, steps and fixed structures, when built to our specification. This covers defects arising from installation rather than misuse or extreme events. Planting is covered separately because it depends on aftercare, weather and seasonal timing, but we provide clear maintenance guidance and can offer ongoing care plans. Any issues are logged and resolved promptly.
We offer a wide range of options to suit mobility needs and maintenance levels: resin-bound or textured porcelain for smoother access, sandstone or concrete paving for durability, and timber or composite raised beds for comfort-height gardening. Sensory planting can include lavender, rosemary, grasses and colourful perennials, while memory gardens may use familiar cottage plants and clear signage. We’ll recommend finishes based on slip resistance, shade, supervision lines and long-term upkeep.
