Dulwich gardens deserve thoughtful design and precise build quality, whether you’re near Dulwich Park or around East Dulwich. We deliver full garden builds that combine hard landscaping with soft landscaping, creating outdoor spaces that feel balanced and practical. Expect clean lines, durable materials and planting that looks established quickly. We also handle garden clearance to prepare sites for a fresh start.
The Dulwich area is known for Georgian and Victorian houses, plus larger detached properties with generous plots. We regularly work with long, narrow rear gardens, raised terraces, and mature boundaries that need careful protection. Our layouts respect period architecture while improving drainage, lighting and usability. If you’re in SE21, SE22 or SE24, we’ll tailor the build to your property’s scale and access.
We start with a measured survey, clear design options and a detailed specification, then schedule the build in logical phases. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, tidy working practices and transparent communication throughout. Our team is fully insured and we stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible installations. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, sharp detailing and finishes that last.
As garden contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan around resident parking, controlled access and shared drives common in Dulwich Village and West Dulwich. Many plots have clay-heavy soils and mature tree roots, so we adapt foundations, drainage and planting choices accordingly. We also consider overlooking, boundary heights and neighbour relations when positioning screens, pergolas and lighting. Where needed, we liaise with suppliers for timed deliveries to keep the street clear.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by size, access and specification. In Dulwich, a small refresh with clearance, new turf and planting might be £2,000–£6,000. A new patio with steps and drainage often falls around £5,000–£15,000. Full garden builds with paving, fencing, lighting and structured planting commonly range from £15,000–£60,000+, especially for larger SE21–SE24 plots and premium materials.
A straightforward patio or decking project can take 1–2 weeks once materials are on site. Medium refurbishments with fencing, paving and planting typically run 2–4 weeks. Full garden builds often take 4–10+ weeks, depending on groundworks, levels, drainage, walls and bespoke features. Timescales are affected by access through the house, skip placement, curing time for concrete, and lead times for stone, timber and plants.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, including patios, paths, planting and like-for-like boundary repairs. However, rules can apply to new walls, fences over certain heights, structures near highways, and works affecting drainage—especially if you’re adding large impermeable areas. Listed buildings and conservation considerations can also change what’s allowed in parts of Dulwich. We flag any likely permissions early and help you check Southwark requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on eligible hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship such as paving build-ups, retaining structures, steps and correctly installed fencing where specified. It’s designed to give Dulwich homeowners long-term confidence in the build quality. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what’s included in writing. Soft landscaping is living and seasonal, but we advise on aftercare to help it establish well.
We design to suit both period architecture and contemporary extensions, offering porcelain paving, sandstone and granite setts, as well as composite or hardwood decking. For boundaries, choose closeboard fencing, slatted screens, brick walls or rendered planters. Planting can range from low-maintenance evergreens to wildlife-friendly borders, and we can add water features for sound and movement. We guide you through samples, mood boards and practical maintenance choices.
