Bermondsey homes deserve front gardens that look sharp and work hard. Whether you’re near Bermondsey Street or walking distance from Maltby Street Market, we create welcoming entrances with practical layouts. Expect neat pathways, tailored planting, and lighting that makes evenings safer. We also integrate bin storage so the frontage stays tidy year-round.
Our team understands the mix of converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments across SE1 and SE16. For terraces, we often maximise space with slimline paths, low walls and structured planting. For warehouse conversions and newer blocks, we design contemporary schemes with clean paving lines and architectural greenery. If parking is a priority, we plan driveway solutions that suit the frontage and drainage requirements.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule works to minimise disruption. Every build is handled by experienced landscapers using proven sub-bases, quality materials and tidy finishing details. You’ll get transparent updates, careful protection of entrances and neighbouring boundaries, and a thorough handover. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, crisp workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Front gardens in the London Borough of Southwark often face tight access, controlled parking and busy pavements, especially around London Bridge and Tower Bridge. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit the street. Ground conditions can vary, so we set levels carefully and specify drainage to reduce pooling near thresholds. Our designs also respect boundary lines and sightlines for safe vehicle access.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. In Bermondsey, a simple refresh with new planting, edging and minor path repairs may start around £1,500–£4,000. A full rebuild with new paving, steps, walls/fencing and lighting often falls between £6,000–£18,000+. Driveways can add £4,000–£12,000 depending on materials and drainage. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most front garden projects take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, groundwork and finishes. A new path, planting and lighting might be completed in under a week, while a driveway with walls, fencing and bin storage can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, waste collection logistics, curing times for concrete, and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but driveways can be subject to rules around surface water drainage and materials. If you’re creating or widening a dropped kerb, you’ll typically need approval from the highway authority. Conservation areas and listed buildings may have extra restrictions. We flag likely requirements early, recommend compliant permeable options where needed, and can help you check Southwark guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our workmanship on hard landscaping elements such as paving, driveways, walls, steps and edging, provided they’re used normally and maintained sensibly. This includes issues linked to installation, like settlement from inadequate sub-base or poor jointing. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products such as lighting fittings or specific paving ranges. We also offer clear aftercare advice to keep everything looking its best.
We tailor designs to the property style and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone paving, clay pavers, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, and low brick walls with metal railings. Planting can range from evergreen structure to pollinator-friendly borders, with lawns or low-maintenance gravel areas. We’ll guide you through samples, drainage options, lighting placement, and bin storage layouts that suit your frontage.
