If your outdoor space in SE11 needs a full rethink, our team plans and builds gardens that suit how you live. We work across Oval, Kennington and Vauxhall, including streets around The Oval cricket ground and Oval tube station. Expect a joined-up service: clearance, groundworks, hard landscaping, planting and finishing touches. The result is a garden that looks considered from every angle and performs well year-round.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with compact plots, shared boundaries and level changes. We design to maximise usable space, improve drainage and create privacy without making gardens feel boxed in. For terrace gardens, we’re careful with sightlines from rear reception rooms and the need for low-maintenance planting. Where access is tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down.
We start with a site survey, then produce a clear proposal covering layout, materials, planting and build sequence. You’ll get a realistic programme, tidy working practices and consistent communication from one point of contact. Our work is built to last, with robust sub-bases, correct falls and quality fixings that prevent common failures. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium workmanship and a finish that holds up.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means factoring in controlled parking zones, delivery timings and neighbour-friendly site management. Around Kennington Park and the Georgian terraces near Oval, gardens can have mature roots, old brickwork and variable ground levels. We adapt foundations, retainers and drainage to suit the site rather than forcing a standard build-up. Where access is restricted, we use smaller plant and phased deliveries to keep the project moving.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. In the Oval area, garden clearance may start around £400–£1,200. A new patio or decking area is often £120–£220 per m² depending on materials and groundwork. Full garden builds commonly range from £8,000–£35,000+, especially where fencing, walls, lighting, drainage or bespoke features are included. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects in SE11 take 1–6 weeks. A straightforward patio with minor planting can be completed in 3–7 days, while a full rebuild with fencing, levels, drainage and new turf or beds usually needs 2–5 weeks. Timescales vary with access (terrace gardens can be slower), weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for stone, timber or bespoke joinery. We agree a programme before starting.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, decking at low level, planting and like-for-like fencing. Permission may be needed for taller boundary walls, structures near highways, significant level changes, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage rules can also apply where you’re creating large impermeable surfaces. We flag likely requirements early and can liaise with Lambeth guidance where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural hard landscaping elements such as patios, retaining work, walls and installed fencing (subject to normal use and maintenance). It covers issues caused by installation defects, for example movement from inadequate sub-bases or incorrect fixings. Natural materials can weather, and plants are living items, so those are handled separately with practical aftercare advice. Warranty details are confirmed in writing.
We tailor designs to period homes and modern mansion flats alike, from clean-lined porcelain paving to sandstone, granite setts and brick edging to echo local stock brick. Popular options include composite or hardwood decking, slatted screening, rendered planters, and low-maintenance planting with evergreen structure. Water features can be subtle rills or self-contained bowls for sound without complexity. We guide choices using samples, layout drawings and a clear maintenance plan.
