Peckham families want gardens that work every day, not just on sunny weekends. We create safe play areas with soft surfaces, clear sightlines and durable lawn space for games. Whether you’re near Peckham Rye Park or closer to Queen’s Road, we’ll plan zones for play, calm and entertaining. The result is a garden children love and adults can keep tidy.
Our team understands the mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses across SE15. Many gardens are long and narrow, with shared boundaries and limited side access, so layouts need to be efficient. We often build storage into the design to keep toys, bikes and garden tools out of the way. If you’re in Nunhead, Camberwell or East Dulwich, we tailor the scheme to your plot and lifestyle.
We start with a site visit to map levels, drainage and how your family uses the space. You’ll receive a clear design plan, material options and a staged programme so you know what’s happening and when. Our installers work cleanly, protect existing features, and keep access safe throughout the build. Homeowners choose us for family friendly gardens peckham area because we deliver robust finishes and dependable aftercare.
Gardens in the London Borough of Southwark often have compact access routes and on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Peckham’s clay-heavy soils can hold water, so we factor in drainage, soil improvement and hard-wearing turf choices. For terraces around SE15, we design to maximise usable space without feeling cramped. We also consider boundary treatments and privacy where gardens back onto neighbouring plots.

Costs vary with size, access and how much structure you want. In Peckham, a simple refresh with lawn, edging and safer surfacing can start around £3,000–£6,000. Mid-range family layouts with new paving, planting, lighting and a play zone are often £8,000–£18,000. Larger builds including drainage, bespoke carpentry, raised beds, and integrated trampolines or frames can be £20,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A straightforward lawn-and-play-area upgrade can be completed in 4–7 working days. More complex gardens with new paving, drainage, raised beds, fencing and electrics typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access through the property, weather, curing time for bases, and lead times for specialist equipment.
Most garden landscaping and domestic play equipment is permitted development, so planning permission isn’t usually needed. However, rules can apply to taller structures, boundary walls or fences, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas. We’ll flag anything that could need consent and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Southwark. We also consider neighbour impacts such as overlooking and noise when positioning play features.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our landscaping workmanship, covering installation issues such as settling, movement and defects in construction methods. Materials are supplied with manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what each covers. Natural elements like plants and turf depend on season and aftercare, but we give clear maintenance guidance to help them establish well. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
Popular choices include soft-play surfacing (rubber mulch, play-grade bark, or reinforced turf), durable paving for prams and scooters, and raised timber or brick planters for growing spaces. We can integrate sandpits with lids, in-ground trampolines, and climbing frames with safe fall zones. Wildlife areas might use native planting, log piles and small ponds with child-safe detailing. We’ll help you balance safety, style and maintenance for your household.
