A well-planned front garden improves kerb appeal, parking and security—without creating extra maintenance. We deliver complete front garden landscaping around Woolwich, from Royal Arsenal apartments to family homes near Woolwich Town Centre. Expect crisp paving lines, practical access and planting that looks good in every season. We can also integrate bin storage and lighting so the space stays tidy and usable year-round.
The Woolwich area mixes Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern developments, each with different access and levels. For terraces, we often rework narrow front plots into a clean driveway and path with structured planting. For newer apartments, we focus on communal-friendly layouts, low-maintenance beds and robust edging. If you’re in Plumstead or Charlton, we can match materials to existing brickwork and boundary styles for a cohesive look.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design plan covering levels, drainage and finishes. Your quote is itemised and we agree a schedule before work begins, with tidy working practices and regular updates. Our team handles everything—groundworks, paving, fencing, walls, lawns, planting and lighting—so you don’t juggle multiple trades. Homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship, straightforward communication and a finish that lasts.
SE18 streets can have tight access, controlled parking and busy traffic near the Woolwich Ferry routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many front gardens sit above pavement level, making retaining walls and step design important for safe access. We also factor in London clay and compaction from old hardstanding when specifying sub-bases and soil improvement. Where council guidance applies, we design permeable solutions and manage drainage responsibly.

Costs vary with size, levels and what’s included. As a guide in SE18, a simple refresh (clearing, edging, planting and turf) often starts from £1,500–£3,500. A new driveway with pathway, walls/fencing and planting commonly falls around £6,000–£15,000+. Larger front gardens, complex levels, lighting and bespoke bin stores can take projects beyond £20,000.
Most front garden projects take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, access and the amount of hard landscaping. A small planting-and-lawn job can be completed in a few days, while a driveway with walls, fencing and lighting typically needs 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by curing time for concrete, drainage requirements, delivery access in Woolwich streets, and weather conditions.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around drainage and materials. If you’re creating or enlarging a driveway, permeable surfacing or suitable drainage to a planted area is often required. Listed buildings and some conversions near historic sites may have extra constraints. We flag likely requirements early, check guidance for the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and help you proceed compliantly.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering installation issues such as sub-base failure, rocking paving or defective edging where our specification has been followed. Manufacturer warranties apply to many materials (for example, paving and lighting components) and we pass these on. Planting is living material, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance plans to keep everything thriving.
We design to suit your property and budget, with options including block paving, porcelain, sandstone, resin-bound surfacing and gravel with stabilisation. For boundaries we install brick walls, rendered finishes, timber or composite fencing, plus gates if required. Planting can be contemporary and architectural or softer cottage-style, and lawns can be turf or low-water alternatives. We bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, then finalise a cohesive plan.
