Your garden, considered
A front garden has more jobs than it looks
The front garden is the first thing visitors see, but it also has to handle bins, bikes, deliveries and often a car. A good design fits all of that in without the space feeling cluttered.
We look at the route from the pavement to the door, where the bins live, whether you need parking, and how rainwater drains. Then we choose materials that suit the age and style of the house.
In Twickenham, many front gardens can take a car. We can combine parking with a path and planting, and check whether a dropped kerb and permeable surface are needed.

Materials & possibilities
Front garden options
Most front gardens use two or three of these. We help you balance looks, practicality and budget.
Rainwater has to go somewhere
If a front garden is paved, rainwater must drain to a permeable surface, a soakaway or a lawn or border within the garden, otherwise planning permission may be needed for areas over five square metres. We design the falls and drainage with that in mind.
From first ideas to finishing touches
A clear path to your finished garden.

What affects the cost of a front garden?
Front gardens are usually smaller than rear gardens, but they often include walls, gates and tiled paths that take time to build well. Our Gemma project in Streatham combined a block-paved driveway, edging, drainage and a new gate with the back garden work.

Front Garden Landscaping in Twickenham: your questions
Still deciding? Tell us about your garden and we can talk through the next step.
Read our warranty termsCan I park on my front garden in Twickenham?
Only if you have a dropped kerb approved by the council and the surface drains properly. We can build the parking area and point you to the council's dropped kerb application.
Can you restore an original Victorian tiled path?
Yes. We lay new geometric tile paths and can sometimes restore sections of an original one, depending on the condition of the tiles and the base.
How long does a front garden take?
Most front gardens take three to seven working days, depending on walls, gates and the amount of removal.
Will I still be able to get in and out?
Yes. We plan the work so you always have safe access to the front door, using temporary boards where needed.
Do you cover all of Twickenham?
Yes. We work across Twickenham (TW1), including St Margarets, Strawberry Hill and Whitton, and nearby areas such as Richmond and Kingston upon Thames. Our base is in Norbury, SW16, about 9 miles from Twickenham.
