From family gardens near Brockwell Park to compact courtyards by Herne Hill station, we build outdoor spaces that work hard and look refined. Our team delivers full garden builds, patios and decking, fencing and walls, planting, water features, and garden clearance. Every project starts with how you want to use the space—dining, play, storage, or a calmer green retreat. You’ll get practical advice and a clear plan before any digging begins.
Herne Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often come with long, narrow plots and level changes that need careful planning. We’re used to side-return access, shared boundaries, and working around existing brickwork and mature trees. Whether you’re close to the Herne Hill Velodrome or on the Dulwich and Brixton side, we design layouts that maximise usable space without feeling over-built. Planting schemes are tailored for year-round structure as well as seasonal colour.
We manage the job end-to-end: survey, design, ground preparation, drainage, build, then finishing and planting. You’ll receive a written scope, agreed materials, and a staged schedule, with clean handovers at each milestone. Our crews protect pathways and neighbouring areas, and we keep disruption controlled with sensible deliveries and waste removal. Homeowners choose us because we combine premium workmanship with straightforward communication—and we stand behind the result.
We regularly work as garden contractors herne hill area homeowners rely on, including streets around SE24 and the Brockwell Park side. Access can be restricted for Victorian terraces, so we plan materials, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, and we allow for proper sub-bases and drainage where clay or compacted soil is present. We also factor in boundary considerations and any council expectations relevant to garden contractors in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. As a guide in SE24, garden clearance and prep might start from £400–£1,500. A new patio or decking area is often £2,500–£8,000 depending on materials and groundworks. Full garden builds with fencing, lighting, planting and drainage commonly range from £10,000–£40,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Timescales vary with complexity and access. A straightforward patio or small fencing job may take 2–5 working days. Medium refurbishments with new paving, turf and planting often run 1–3 weeks. Full garden builds with walls, steps, drainage and multiple zones typically take 3–8 weeks. Weather, lead times for stone/timber, and restricted access on terrace streets can all affect the programme.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, decking at ground level, planting and most fencing (within height limits). However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, high boundary walls, major level changes, or works affecting drainage and trees. We’ll flag likely permissions during the survey and can advise what to check with Lambeth or Southwark before work starts, so you avoid delays and compliance issues.
Yes. We include a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering installation issues such as failed sub-bases, unstable edging, or movement caused by incorrect build-up (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like paving, composite decking or pumps. We also provide aftercare guidance for planting and lawns, and we’re available to inspect and resolve any snagging promptly.
We design to suit period homes and modern tastes, from clean contemporary layouts to softer cottage-style planting. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone paving, brick or rendered retaining walls, timber or composite decking, slatted screening, and bespoke raised planters. For interest, we can add water bowls, rills or compact pondless features. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and recommend what performs best for your light levels and soil.
