Elephant & Castle is changing fast, with new public realm and busy commercial sites around Elephant Park and the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre. We create and care for outdoor spaces that stay presentable under heavy footfall—entrances, courtyards, roof terraces and communal gardens. Our team handles everything from ground design and planting to hard landscaping, irrigation and lighting. Work is planned to minimise disruption for tenants, customers and deliveries.
Local sites range from modern high-rises near Strata Tower to Victorian terraces in Kennington and Walworth, plus new-build apartment blocks across SE1 and SE17. Each setting needs a different approach—wind exposure on higher levels, shaded courtyards between blocks, or tight side access behind older properties. We specify plants and materials that cope with urban conditions and look good in every season. Maintenance schedules are tailored to occupancy patterns and site management requirements.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear scope, then provide a practical design with a staged programme. Installation is managed by experienced trades, with clean handovers and aftercare guidance for site teams. Every project is built for longevity, with quality materials and careful detailing around drainage and levels. Clients rely on us for consistent communication, reliable attendance and a finish that stands up to daily use.
In the commercial landscaping Elephant & Castle area, access can be tight and loading bays are often time-restricted, so we schedule works around building management and peak pedestrian flows. Regeneration sites may have podium decks, restricted soil depths and specific drainage details, which we account for in our build-ups and planting plans. We also work with Southwark requirements for waste removal, noise and working hours. The result is a smarter programme and fewer surprises on site.

Costs vary by access, specification and whether you need design, build and maintenance. As a guide, soft landscaping and planting refreshes often start from £1,500–£5,000 for smaller frontages or courtyards. Full installations with paving, edging, irrigation and lighting commonly range from £10,000–£60,000+ for larger communal spaces. Ongoing maintenance is typically £250–£1,500+ per month depending on visit frequency and site size.
A small planting and tidy-up programme can be completed in 1–3 days. Courtyard upgrades with paving, drainage adjustments and new planting usually take 1–3 weeks, while larger communal gardens or podium landscapes can run 4–8+ weeks. Timescales depend on access restrictions, lead times for materials, weather, and whether irrigation or lighting is included. We provide a staged programme so site teams know what to expect.
Many commercial landscaping works are permitted, especially like-for-like repairs, planting, and most hard landscaping within private boundaries. However, permission may be needed for changes affecting public highways, listed buildings, conservation areas, significant lighting, signage, or new structures. We’ll flag likely requirements early, check constraints, and help you gather the right information for Southwark processes. Where needed, we can work alongside your managing agent or architect.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and installation-related failures under normal use. This typically includes issues such as movement from incorrect sub-base build-up or poor laying standards. Planting is covered under a separate establishment period, which depends on season and maintenance arrangements. We also supply manufacturer warranties for products like lighting and irrigation components where applicable.
For modern developments, popular choices include porcelain paving, resin-bound surfacing, granite setts, and clean-lined raised planters in corten or powder-coated steel. Planting schemes often use evergreen structure with grasses and long-flowering perennials for low-maintenance colour. We can add drip irrigation, smart timers and discreet LED lighting for entrances and pathways. We’ll recommend options based on footfall, shade, wind exposure and your maintenance budget.
