We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design plan showing play zones, routes and sightlines from the house. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and clear daily updates.

Homeowners choose us because we deliver dependable timelines, transparent options and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, access can be tight on terraced streets and parking is often controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many Streatham Hill gardens have clay-heavy soils, which affects drainage under lawns and play surfaces; we build the right sub-bases to prevent puddling. We also account for shared boundaries and party walls common to Victorian plots. Our approach keeps builds compliant, considerate and built to last.

Costs vary by size, groundworks and what you include. As a guide, a small refresh with lawn improvements and a soft play zone often starts around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-size family gardens with new turf, paths, edging and a dedicated play area are commonly £10,000–£25,000. Larger redesigns with drainage, lighting, planting, sandpits and bespoke carpentry can be £25,000–£50,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once the design is agreed and materials are booked. A simple lawn and soft-surface play area can be completed in under a week, while full garden redesigns with drainage, paving, carpentry and planting typically run 2–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for bases, and whether you’re adding items like trampolines, climbing frames or raised beds.
Most garden landscaping and play features are permitted development, especially at ground level. However, rules can apply to raised decking, boundary heights, structures near neighbours, and properties in conservation areas or certain mansion conversions. We’ll advise early and check any relevant Lambeth guidance before work starts. If permissions or party wall notices are needed, we can help you understand the process and design around constraints.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, edging movement and installation defects when used as intended. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like artificial grass, lighting or specialist surfacing. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before you proceed, along with care guidance for lawns, planting and soft surfaces to keep everything performing well.
We offer a wide range of options, including real turf or hard-wearing artificial grass, rubber mulch or wetpour safety surfacing, and smooth porcelain or sandstone for clean, slip-aware routes. Popular additions include in-ground trampolines, sandpits with lids, timber climbing frames, wildlife areas, and raised growing beds for herbs and veg. We’ll recommend choices based on your child’s age, maintenance preferences, and how you use the garden year-round.
