Greenwich homes deserve gardens that keep up with busy family routines and changing seasons. Whether you’re near Greenwich Park or down by the Cutty Sark, we create practical layouts with clear sightlines, safe play zones and space to relax. Expect thoughtful details such as soft surfaces, tidy edging and robust planting that can handle footballs and scooters. Every design is tailored to how your family actually uses the garden.
We regularly work across SE10 and nearby streets in Maze Hill, Blackheath and Deptford, where gardens range from compact courtyards to long rear plots. Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas often need careful levels, drainage and sympathetic materials, while modern waterfront apartments benefit from clever zoning and low-maintenance finishes. Our team understands access constraints, shared pathways and the need for clean, considerate working. The result is family friendly gardens Greenwich area homeowners can enjoy year-round.
We start with a site visit to map levels, sunlight, privacy and how children move through the space. You’ll receive a clear plan covering play equipment positions, surfacing build-ups and planting choices, plus a staged schedule. We install to a high standard, keep the site safe and tidy, and sign everything off with a practical handover. Local clients choose us for reliable communication, durable workmanship and family-proof detailing.
Gardens in the Royal Borough of Greenwich often combine sloping ground, mature trees and mixed soil conditions, especially near parkland. We plan drainage and sub-bases carefully so lawns stay usable and soft surfaces remain stable. Access and parking can be tight around Greenwich and Maze Hill, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Materials and planting are selected to suit period properties as well as modern developments.

Costs vary with size, access and how much construction is needed. As a guide, a small family-friendly refresh (turf, edging, planting and a simple play zone) often starts around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-sized redesigns with soft surfacing, raised beds and lighting are commonly £8,000–£20,000. Larger builds including drainage, paving, bespoke carpentry and multiple play features can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward lawn-and-planting upgrade may be completed in 3–5 days, while adding soft surfaces, new paths, raised beds and fencing typically takes 1–2 weeks. Larger gardens with drainage works, level changes, bespoke joinery or multiple zones can run 3–6 weeks. Weather, access in SE10, and lead times for materials also affect timings.
Most garden landscaping and typical play equipment (such as trampolines, sandpits and climbing frames) is usually permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, your property is listed, or structures are unusually tall or close to boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can help you check Royal Borough of Greenwich guidance where needed. We also consider neighbour privacy and boundary safety as standard.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as sub-bases, paving, edging, timber structures and retaining details (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer guarantees apply to specific products like artificial turf, lighting or composite materials, and we pass these on in writing. We also offer practical aftercare advice for lawns, planting and play surfaces to keep everything performing well.
We design around your family’s routines and the space available, from lawn-led layouts to multi-zone gardens. Popular options include rubber mulch or play bark for soft landings, durable turf or artificial grass, raised sleepers or brick-edged beds for growing spaces, and wildlife corners with logs, native planting and bug hotels. We can integrate trampolines, sandpits and climbing frames with safe clearances. We’ll guide you on materials that suit your style, budget and maintenance preferences.
