A well-planned care garden can transform daily life, encouraging gentle movement, conversation and calm. We design and build outdoor spaces for care settings across Streatham Hill and Streatham Common, with layouts that feel welcoming and easy to navigate. From memory gardens to shaded seating, every element is chosen to reduce trip risks and support confidence outdoors. We’re also familiar with properties near Streatham Common and the busy routes around Streatham High Road.
Streatham’s vibrant mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and modern apartments often comes with compact gardens, level changes and shared access. In SW16 and SW2, we regularly work around narrow side returns, basement steps and limited storage space. Our designs make the most of smaller footprints with raised beds, handrails and clear circulation routes. Where space allows, we add quiet corners for visiting families and staff breaks.
We start with a site survey and a practical design plan that prioritises accessibility, safe boundaries and year-round interest. You’ll receive clear specifications, realistic timelines and tidy working practices to keep disruption low. Our team builds with durable materials and careful detailing, from non-slip paving to robust edging and secure gates. Local clients trust us because we communicate clearly, turn up when we say we will, and finish to a premium standard.
We’re on site fast from Norbury, typically within 10 minutes, which helps with surveys and follow-up visits. Streatham plots can include heavy London clay, tree roots and shaded corners, especially near parks such as Rookery Gardens. Parking and access can be tight around Streatham High Road, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. For care home gardens in London Borough of Lambeth, we also factor in boundary treatments and visibility where neighbours are close.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification, but most projects in the Streatham area fall into a few bands. A small refresh (safe surfacing repairs, planting, a bench and minor edging) is often £2,000–£6,000. A mid-size redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds and new seating typically ranges £8,000–£20,000. Larger builds with handrails, shade structures, lighting and secure boundaries can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Timescales depend on the size of the garden and how much groundwork is needed. A light upgrade can take 2–5 working days. A typical redesign with new paths, raised beds, planting and seating usually takes 2–4 weeks. More complex schemes involving drainage, retaining edges, handrails, shade structures and phased access routes can take 4–8 weeks. Weather, delivery lead times and restricted access in SW16/SW2 can also affect scheduling.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, particularly like-for-like surfacing, planting, beds and standard fencing. However, planning can apply for higher boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, or if the site has specific care-use conditions. We’ll review your proposals, check relevant Lambeth guidance and advise if an application is sensible. If needed, we can supply drawings and specifications to support the process and keep everything compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, raised bed structures, handrails and installed boundaries, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we pass on where applicable. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently; we’ll specify suitable species and advise on aftercare to maximise establishment. Any snagging issues are handled promptly.
We tailor every scheme to residents’ needs and the site. Popular options include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or masonry raised beds, and sturdy benches with arms for easier standing. Sensory planting can feature lavender, rosemary, grasses and seasonal colour, while memory gardens may include familiar cottage plants and clear wayfinding cues. For shade structures, we can use pergolas, sail shades or tree planting. We guide choices based on safety, maintenance and budget.
