Brixton gardens often need clever planning to balance entertaining space, greenery and privacy. Whether you’re near Brixton Market or walking distance from Windrush Square, we create designs that suit busy London living. Our team maps out levels, drainage and access before proposing layouts that feel calm and coherent. Expect a design that looks great year-round and works day-to-day.
The Brixton mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and newer developments means no two gardens are the same. We regularly design for long, narrow plots behind terraces, shaded courtyards, and roof-adjacent patios that need wind-tolerant planting. If you’re in SW2 or SW9, we’ll tailor planting and materials to your light levels, soil and how overlooked the space is. The result is a garden that complements your property rather than fighting it.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear brief, then moves into concept layouts and refined plans. You can add planting plans, 3D visualisation, lighting design, water features and hard landscaping design to build a complete picture before any work begins. We provide transparent specifications and practical build details, so your project runs smoothly. Homeowners choose us for tidy working, clear communication and a finish that lasts.
We’re used to Lambeth’s tight access routes, resident parking controls and timed deliveries, especially around Stockwell and Brixton Hill. Many gardens sit over compacted subsoil, with drainage challenges and shaded boundaries from neighbouring extensions. We specify permeable options where helpful and design levels to manage runoff sensibly. If permissions or party wall considerations apply, we flag them early and plan around them.

For Garden Design in Brixton, design-only work typically falls between £500–£2,500, depending on garden size, complexity and whether you want extras like 3D visualisation, lighting design or a detailed planting plan. If you’d like us to deliver the full build as well, most complete projects in the Brixton area land around £5,000–£25,000, influenced by paving, walls, drainage, and bespoke features.
Most Brixton projects take 2–8 weeks from the start of construction, once the design is agreed and materials are booked in. Smaller refreshes with limited hard landscaping can be quicker, while larger transformations with steps, retaining walls, lighting, water features or complex drainage take longer. Access constraints, weather, lead times for stone or joinery, and any changes mid-project can also affect the schedule.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, planting and like-for-like boundary repairs. However, rules can change with listed buildings, conservation areas, new boundary heights, significant level changes, and some structures or lighting. In the London Borough of Lambeth we’ll highlight any likely constraints, check practical compliance points (including drainage and permeable surfaces where relevant), and recommend when you should confirm details with the council.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on hard landscaping we install, covering issues related to installation such as paving movement, edging stability and structural integrity of built elements (subject to normal use and maintenance). Products and materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we pass on where applicable. Soft landscaping such as plants can be more variable, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance options to protect your investment.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a warmer look, timber or composite decking for entertaining zones, and raised planters to add structure in narrow plots. We also design integrated lighting, water features, and practical storage or seating. For planting, we often mix evergreen structure with seasonal colour and wildlife-friendly species. We’ll guide you on what suits your style, budget, and the garden’s sun and shade patterns.
