Bermondsey gardens often need smart design to make the most of compact plots, roof terraces and courtyard spaces. Whether you’re near Bermondsey Street or walking distance from Maltby Street Market, we create outdoor layouts that feel bigger, brighter and easier to use. Our makeovers combine hard landscaping with planting that suits light levels and wind exposure. The result is a garden that works for entertaining, relaxing, and low-fuss day-to-day living.
The Bermondsey area mixes converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments, each with different access and space constraints. We regularly work across SE1 and SE16, designing solutions for narrow side returns, raised planters on terraces, and family-friendly townhouse gardens. If you’re close to London Bridge or Rotherhithe, we can tailor finishes to match brickwork, metalwork and contemporary architecture. Every scheme is drawn up to suit how you actually use the space, not a generic template.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a full design, then a clear scope for hard landscaping, soft landscaping and finishing details. We manage the build from groundworks through to planting, lighting and final tidy-up, keeping disruption controlled and neighbours considered. You’ll get transparent staging, material samples, and workmanship that’s checked at every milestone. Homeowners choose us for garden makeovers in London Borough of Southwark because we deliver dependable schedules and premium results.
In Bermondsey, access can be tight—especially around warehouse conversions and terrace rows—so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and levels before laying patios or building raised beds. We also consider boundary lines, party walls and any Southwark requirements that may affect lighting positions, water features or structures. The aim is a smooth build with fewer surprises on site.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with paving, planting and lighting often starts around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-size gardens with new patio/decking, raised beds and improved drainage are commonly £12,000–£30,000. Larger, fully re-levelled projects with premium stone, bespoke joinery or water features can run £30,000–£70,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after survey and design.
Most projects take 1–2 weeks for smaller courtyards and 2–5 weeks for typical Bermondsey terrace gardens. Larger schemes with major groundworks, retaining, complex lighting or water features can take 6–10 weeks. Timescales depend on access (narrow passages), curing times for concrete and pointing, and lead times for bespoke items. We agree a programme before starting and keep you updated as each stage completes.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as replacing patios, adding planting beds, or installing low-level lighting. Permission may be needed for taller structures, decking at certain heights, significant level changes, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage changes and water feature electrics also need careful compliance. We flag any likely permissions early, advise on options, and can help you prepare the information needed for Southwark.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our hard landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as unstable paving, failed pointing, or poor sub-base preparation. Materials (stone, porcelain, decking, lighting components) are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which we pass on and explain clearly. Soft landscaping is living material, so it’s covered differently; we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance to keep it thriving.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone or granite for character, and composite or hardwood decking for warm texture. For planting, we often use layered evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus climbers to soften brick walls. Lighting can be subtle step lights, uplighters for feature trees, and warm wall washers. Water features range from slim rills to self-contained bowls. We bring samples, discuss maintenance, and design around your style and budget.
