Streatham gardens come in all shapes, from compact courtyards off Streatham High Road to wider plots near Streatham Common. We create designs that make space for dining, play, storage and planting without feeling crowded. Whether you want a contemporary terrace or a softer, wildlife-friendly scheme, we’ll tailor the layout to your light levels and lifestyle. Our designs also consider privacy and outlook, especially for overlooked rear gardens.
Local homes range from Victorian and Edwardian houses to mansion flats and newer apartments, each with different access and proportions. Period properties in Streatham Hill often suit structured layouts, brick edging and classic planting, while modern blocks benefit from clean lines and low-maintenance palettes. We’re used to side returns, narrow passages and split-level gardens, and we design around them from day one. If you’re in SW16 or SW2, we can quickly survey and advise on what will work best.
We start with a site visit and brief, then develop a concept plan before moving to detailed drawings and specifications. You can add planting plans, lighting design, water features and hard landscaping design, plus 3D visualisation to help you commit with confidence. We provide clear stages, transparent costs and a build-ready pack so there are no surprises on site. Homeowners choose us for tidy working, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
We design with Streatham’s mix of clay soils and mature tree influence in mind, helping you avoid waterlogging and root-related issues. Access can be tight around terraces and mansion blocks, so we plan materials, storage and waste removal accordingly. We also factor in Lambeth requirements where relevant, such as drainage approaches and boundaries. The result is a scheme that looks right for local property styles and works day to day.

Garden design fees typically sit between £500–£2,500 depending on garden size, complexity and what’s included (concept plan, detailed drawings, planting plans, lighting or 3D visualisation). If you want us to deliver the full transformation, most Streatham projects fall around £5,000–£25,000 for build costs, influenced by paving choice, levels, drainage, joinery and planting maturity.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks from start on site to completion, with design time and approvals running in parallel beforehand. Simple refreshes with minimal construction can be quicker, while gardens needing new levels, drainage, retaining edges, lighting and water features take longer. Access, weather, lead times for materials and the amount of bespoke joinery also affect the programme. We provide a clear schedule before works begin.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, planting and like-for-like boundary repairs, but there are exceptions. Rules can change if you’re altering front gardens, adding tall structures, changing levels significantly, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag likely permissions early and can help you gather the right information for Lambeth, including drainage considerations and any relevant restrictions.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping elements installed by our team, giving you long-term confidence in the build. This covers issues related to installation, such as settlement or failure due to workmanship, subject to normal use and maintenance. Products and materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we pass on. Planting is supported with aftercare guidance and seasonal advice.
We design across modern, traditional and naturalistic styles, always matched to your home and how you use the space. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone paving, brick detailing for period properties, composite or timber decking, pergolas, built-in seating and raised planters. We can integrate low-glare lighting, rills or bowls for water features, and layered planting for year-round interest. We’ll guide you through samples, maintenance levels and budget trade-offs.
