A well-planned front garden changes how your home feels from the street, and how it works day to day. We design and build driveways, pathways, planting, lawns, walls, fencing, lighting and bin storage that look right for Nunhead streets. Whether you’re close to Nunhead Green or walking distance of Telegraph Hill Park, we’ll create a front approach that’s tidy, welcoming and practical. Every detail is considered, from levels and drainage to finishes and planting structure.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often have compact front plots, sloping thresholds and narrow side access. We’re used to working with original brickwork, bay fronts and traditional boundary lines, so new paving and walls don’t jar with the façade. If you’re in SE15 near Peckham, Brockley, Honor Oak or East Dulwich, we can tailor layouts for bikes, bins and parking without losing greenery. The result is a front garden that complements the architecture and stands up to heavy use.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear options and a written specification, then careful groundworks and a clean, well-managed build. We prioritise proper sub-bases, falls and drainage so surfaces stay stable and puddle-free. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Many homeowners choose us for front garden landscaping nunhead area projects because we combine design sense with build quality.
Front garden landscaping in London Borough of Southwark often means working with tight access, resident parking and varied ground levels. Around Nunhead Cemetery and the surrounding streets, we frequently encounter clay-heavy soils and old garden layers that need proper excavation and sub-base build-up. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption, and we always consider drainage and permeable surfacing where needed. Designs are scaled to suit smaller plots while keeping the frontage green and welcoming.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, simple refreshes (tidy-up, small planting, edging and minor repairs) often start from £1,500–£3,500. New paving or a pathway with lighting typically falls around £4,000–£9,000. A full front garden rebuild with driveway, walls/fencing, planting and bin storage commonly ranges from £10,000–£25,000+ depending on materials and drainage requirements.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on scope. A new path, small lawn and planting can be completed in under a week, while a driveway with drainage, walls and lighting often needs 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, curing time for concrete, access for machinery, and any bespoke items such as gates or bin stores. We provide a clear schedule before work begins.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but there are key rules. New or replaced driveways over 5m² generally need permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway rather than the public sewer. Walls, fences and gates can have height limits, especially next to highways. If your property has restrictions or is in a sensitive setting, requirements can change. We check the relevant Southwark guidance and advise before you commit.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for core build elements such as paving, driveway sub-bases, walls, steps and installed drainage, provided the area is used and maintained normally. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like paving, fencing panels or lighting fittings. We also explain aftercare for planting and lawns, as living materials depend on watering and seasonal conditions. Any snagging issues are handled promptly.
We offer a wide range of options to suit Nunhead’s period homes: clay pavers, sandstone or porcelain paving, permeable block paving, resin-bound surfaces, and gravel with stabilisation grids. Boundaries can be rebuilt in matching brick, rendered walls, or timber/metal fencing with gates. Planting can be formal evergreen structure, cottage-style mixes, or low-maintenance schemes, with lawn or artificial turf where appropriate. We help you choose based on style, budget, drainage and upkeep.
