If your lawn edges keep crumbling into borders or gravel creeps onto the path, professional edging makes an immediate difference. We install precise borders across Clapham North, Clapham South and around SW4/SW11, keeping gardens tidy and easy to maintain. From family plots near Clapham Common to compact courtyards off Clapham Old Town, we tailor the finish to your layout. Expect straight lines, smooth curves and a clean handover.
Clapham’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments means no two gardens are the same. Period properties often suit brick or stone edging that complements original detailing, while contemporary patios and roof-terrace planters look great with slim metal borders. Where space is tight, we design edging that improves definition without stealing planting room. We also consider how you use the garden—pets, children, or entertaining—so the borders stay robust.
We start with a site visit to measure runs, check levels and agree the look you want. Then we set out lines, prepare a stable base and install edging with careful alignment and secure fixings to prevent movement. We keep disruption low, protect surrounding paving and clear away spoil as we go. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth, we’re used to Clapham’s compact rear access, shared alleyways and controlled parking near Clapham Junction station. We plan deliveries and waste removal to suit local restrictions and keep neighbours happy. Ground conditions vary from firm sub-bases under old paths to softer, reworked soil in renovated gardens, so we adjust excavation depth and bedding accordingly. The result is edging that stays straight and stable year after year.

In Clapham, garden edging typically ranges from £15–£50 per metre depending on the material and ground preparation. Plastic edging sits at the lower end, while stone, brick and premium metal systems cost more due to materials and installation time. Most projects fall around £300–£1,200 in total, influenced by the length of runs, curves, digging requirements and whether we’re tying into existing paving or steps.
Most garden edging jobs are completed in 1 day, including setting out, excavation, base preparation and installation. Larger gardens, long curved borders, or multiple materials can extend the programme, as can working around established planting and tree roots. Access also matters in Clapham terraces where everything goes through the house or a side return. We’ll confirm timings after measuring and checking site conditions.
Garden edging is usually classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth. That said, rules can change if you’re altering boundary walls, working in a conservation area, or your property is listed. If edging affects drainage, levels near a public highway, or shared boundaries, extra checks may be sensible. We flag any potential issues during the survey and advise on next steps.
Yes—our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship. This covers issues such as edging movement, lifting or separation caused by installation faults, provided the area hasn’t been altered or damaged by later building works. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We install on properly prepared bases and use appropriate fixings so borders stay aligned through seasonal ground movement.
We install metal edging for clean, modern lines; brick edging for classic period gardens; and stone edging for a premium, natural finish. Sleeper edging works well for raised borders and level changes, while plastic edging suits budget-friendly, hidden restraint. Decorative borders can be added to frame beds or paths and tie in with existing paving. We’ll help you choose a style that matches the property and is practical for mowing and maintenance.
