Putney gardens often need clever zoning to balance entertaining space with greenery, especially near Putney High Street and the River Thames towpath. We create tailored layouts that work for real life: dining, play, storage and year-round planting. Whether you want a calm courtyard or a family-friendly lawn, our designs prioritise flow, privacy and light. Expect clear plans, thoughtful detailing and a finish that feels considered rather than overdone.
Across SW15 you’ll find everything from Victorian and Edwardian houses with long rear gardens to riverside apartments with terraces and balconies. In West Putney and East Putney, we regularly design for narrow side returns, level changes and overlooked boundaries. We match planting and materials to the architecture—crisp contemporary lines for modern flats, softer, layered borders for period homes. The result is a garden that looks right for the property and performs well through the seasons.
Our process starts with a site visit and brief, then concept options, refined plans and a build-ready package. You can add planting plans, lighting design, water features and hard landscaping design, plus 3D visualisation to help you commit with confidence. We set expectations early on budgets, access and timelines, and keep communication straightforward throughout. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and a design that translates smoothly into a high-quality build.
Putney plots can vary from sandy, free-draining ground near Putney Heath to heavier soils closer to the Thames, so we tailor planting and drainage accordingly. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in privacy solutions for overlooked gardens and apartment terraces. If any elements touch boundaries, trees, or drainage, we’ll flag likely council considerations early.

For Garden Design in Putney, design-only work typically ranges from £500–£2,500 depending on garden size, complexity and whether you need planting plans, lighting, water features or 3D visualisation. If you proceed to a full transformation, most projects fall around £5,000–£25,000, influenced by paving choices, retaining work, drainage, access and the amount of planting. We’ll guide you to options that fit your budget.
Most Putney projects take 2–8 weeks from the start of construction, once the design is agreed and materials are ordered. Smaller courtyard upgrades can be quicker, while larger gardens with extensive paving, walls, steps, lighting and water features take longer. Timescales are affected by access, weather, lead times for stone or joinery, and whether groundworks are needed for drainage or levels. We provide a clear programme before work begins.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, especially like-for-like hard landscaping, planting and typical patio works. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, building tall boundary structures, adding certain outbuildings, or working near protected trees. In the London Borough of Wandsworth we’ll help you understand what’s likely to need consent and can suggest compliant alternatives. We always recommend checking before committing to major changes.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installed hard landscaping elements, giving you confidence that paving, walls, edging and built structures are completed to a high standard. The warranty covers defects related to our installation rather than accidental damage or lack of maintenance. For planting, we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance support to help new plants establish well. Full terms are provided in writing before work starts.
Popular choices in the garden design Putney area include porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone for a softer traditional feel, and composite or hardwood decking for raised entertaining zones. Many clients add layered evergreen planting, pleached screening for privacy, and low-glare lighting for pathways and seating areas. Water features can be subtle—rills, bowls or wall spouts—rather than loud fountains. We’ll recommend options based on style, maintenance preferences and how the space is used.
