Herne Hill sits across the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, so we’re used to differing expectations around boundaries, access and waste removal. Many streets near Dulwich, Brixton and Tulse Hill have restricted parking and narrow pathways, so we plan deliveries and cutting areas to minimise disruption. Gardens can be shaded by mature trees, affecting moisture and slip risk, so we recommend suitable board types and anti-slip detailing. Our builds prioritise drainage and airflow to protect the subframe year-round.
