Herne Hill has a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with compact front plots and stepped access. We’re used to working around bay windows, raised thresholds and narrow side passages, keeping proportions in scale with the façade. Our front garden landscaping Herne hill area designs balance greenery with hardwearing surfaces, so the space stays usable year-round. We also plan for bikes, prams and bins without cluttering the frontage.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule the build to minimise disruption. You’ll get guidance on drainage, levels and planting that won’t outgrow the space. Our team works neatly, keeps neighbours in mind, and leaves the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
We regularly work across SE24 and understand the access challenges of terraced streets, including limited parking and narrow gates. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels and drainage carefully before laying any driveway or pathway. For front garden landscaping in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, we also factor in council expectations around permeable surfaces and boundary heights. Designs are scaled to period façades so the frontage looks original, not overbuilt.

Most front garden projects take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, groundwork and drying times. A simple pathway and planting scheme can be completed in under a week, while a new driveway with drainage, walls and lighting typically needs 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for materials, level changes, utility covers, and weather. We agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated throughout.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but there are important rules. New or replacement driveways over 5m² usually need permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway, not the street. Boundary walls and railings can have height limits, and listed buildings or conservation areas may add restrictions. We’ll advise on the likely requirements for your property and can help you check with Lambeth or Southwark before work begins.
