Dulwich properties present fascinating landscaping opportunities. Whether you're working with the narrow frontage typical of East Dulwich's railway cottages or the generous proportions found near Dulwich Park, thoughtful design transforms kerb appeal. Local conservation requirements often shape our approach, particularly around the Village's historic heart.
Clay-heavy soil dominates much of SE21 and SE22, requiring specific drainage solutions beneath new pathways. Heritage brick selection matters here – matching existing Victorian boundaries while incorporating modern permeability standards. Mature street trees, particularly the famous planes along Burbage Road, influence planting schemes and hardscaping placement throughout our designs.
Twenty years navigating Southwark planning requirements gives us unique insight into Dulwich's character areas. Long-standing relationships with local suppliers mean authentic materials that complement period properties, delivered without the premium typically charged for SE postcodes.
