A well-designed front garden should do more than look good—it should improve access, parking and kerb appeal. We create tailored layouts that balance driveways, pathways, planting and lighting for Kingston upon Thames homes. Whether you’re near Kingston Bridge or popping to the Bentall Centre, we plan for real-life routines like deliveries, bins and prams. Expect clean lines, quality materials and a finish that complements your property.
Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each needing a different approach. Period homes often suit traditional brick edging, heritage-style walls and layered planting, while newer builds benefit from crisp paving and architectural lighting. In Surbiton and New Malden, we frequently improve narrow frontages with clever pathway alignment and low-maintenance borders. Every design is scaled to your plot and the way you use it.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule works to minimise disruption. Our team handles excavation, drainage, paving, fencing, walls, turfing and planting with careful attention to levels and finishes. You’ll get straightforward updates, tidy working practices and a handover that includes care advice for lawns and plants. Homeowners choose us for reliable project management and craftsmanship that lasts.
We’re used to working across KT1 and KT2 where access can be tight and parking needs planning. Ground conditions vary, so we specify the right sub-bases and manage drainage carefully to protect your frontage and neighbouring boundaries. If your property is near All Saints Church or close to busier routes, we schedule deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also check local requirements for dropped kerbs, permeable surfacing and boundary heights before work begins.

Costs vary with size, levels and what’s included. As a guide, a simple refresh with new planting, turf and edging may start from around £1,500–£4,000. A new pathway and small walling can be £4,000–£10,000. Full front garden transformations with driveway, lighting, fencing and bin storage often fall between £10,000–£25,000+, especially where drainage or excavation is required.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on scope and weather. A planting-and-lawn upgrade can be completed in a few days, while a driveway with new sub-base, drainage, walls and lighting typically needs 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, skip placement, curing time for concrete, and whether we’re coordinating a dropped kerb or utility checks. We provide a clear schedule before starting.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway, and a dropped kerb requires council approval. Walls, fencing and gates can also be restricted by height rules, and listed buildings or conservation areas may have extra controls. We advise on the likely requirements and help you check before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations such as driveways, paving, walls and edging, provided they’re used and maintained normally. The warranty covers issues linked to installation, such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base or poor laying. Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included for your project and provide aftercare guidance at handover.
We offer a wide range of finishes to match Kingston properties, from clay pavers and natural stone to porcelain paving and resin-bound surfaces. For boundaries, options include brick walls, rendered walls, timber fencing or composite panels, plus matching gates. Planting can be formal and architectural or softer and wildlife-friendly, with low-maintenance shrubs and seasonal interest. We guide you on colour, texture, drainage needs and long-term upkeep.
