A well-planned front garden improves daily access, parking and security while lifting the look of your home. Our team works across SW9, from around Stockwell tube station to the streets leading towards Oval and Brixton. Whether you need a new driveway, a safer pathway or a complete refresh with planting and lighting, we design it to suit your property and routine. Expect tidy workmanship and finishes that look right from day one.
Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates calls for thoughtful detailing and practical layouts. We’re used to narrow frontages, shared boundaries and stepped entrances, so paths and levels are planned carefully. Planting schemes are chosen for year-round structure without blocking light to bay windows. If you’re updating a tired frontage, our front garden landscaping stockwell area service balances style with everyday usability.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear options for layout, drainage and materials. You’ll receive a written proposal and a build schedule, with considerate working hours and a clean site at the end of each day. From paving falls to cable routes for lighting, everything is installed to last, not just to look good. Homeowners choose us for front garden landscaping in London Borough of Lambeth because we’re straightforward, punctual and meticulous.
Access in Stockwell can be tight, with limited parking and narrow front gardens, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We design surfaces with proper drainage to reduce standing water and help manage runoff. Boundary walls and fencing are matched to neighbouring styles, which is important on terrace streets near Stockwell Park and Kennington. Where council guidance applies, we help you stay compliant without slowing the project.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple front refresh (clearance, edging, planting and mulch) often starts from £1,500–£3,500. New paving or pathways are commonly £80–£150 per m² depending on materials. Driveways with proper sub-base and drainage are typically £120–£220 per m². Walls, fencing, lighting and bin storage are priced to suit the design and finishes.
Most front garden projects in SW9 take 3–10 working days. A small planting-and-pathway update can be completed in under a week, while a full rebuild with driveway, walls, fencing and lighting may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, drainage requirements, curing time for concrete, and access for materials and skips. We provide a clear programme before we start and keep you updated daily.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but there are key rules around driveways and drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway over 5m², the surface usually needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property rather than the highway. Listed buildings and some conservation considerations can add restrictions. We check the relevant Lambeth guidance and advise what’s needed before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installed hard landscaping, covering issues such as sinking due to poor sub-base preparation, loose edging, and installation-related failures. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from misuse, vehicle overloading, or extreme events outside our control. We’ll explain care and maintenance so your driveway, paths and walls stay looking sharp.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for crisp modern lines, sandstone for a softer period look, and block paving for driveways with strong edging detail. For boundaries, we install timber slatted fencing, brick walls with copings, or rendered finishes to suit the house style. Planting can be evergreen structure with seasonal colour, and lighting ranges from subtle step lights to bollards. We bring samples and help you choose a scheme that suits your home and maintenance preferences.
