We manage groundwork, paving, decking, irrigation options and final planting, with tidy working practices throughout.

Working in the London Borough of Southwark means planning for restricted access, resident parking controls and busy streets near King’s College Hospital. Many SE5 gardens sit on London clay, so we prioritise drainage, robust sub-bases and correct falls for patios. We’re used to protecting period features around Victorian rear extensions and managing party wall boundaries. Our approach keeps disruption low and the build compliant and durable.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with new paving and planting might start around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-sized makeovers with patio or decking, lighting and structured planting often fall between £15,000–£35,000. Larger projects with level changes, retaining walls and water features can be £40,000–£80,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after a site visit.
Most makeovers take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward patio, planting and lighting scheme may be completed in 10–15 working days, while projects involving excavation, drainage, steps or retaining walls typically run 4–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in SE5, curing times for concrete bases, bespoke material lead times and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before work begins.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as replacing patios, installing decking at sensible heights, and general planting. However, rules can apply to raised platforms, boundary treatments, significant level changes, listed buildings and properties in conservation areas. Drainage requirements are also important, especially for impermeable surfaces. We check constraints during design, advise on SuDS-friendly options, and can help you understand when permissions or approvals may be needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our installed hard landscaping, covering issues arising from installation such as movement due to inadequate sub-base, poor falls, or faulty construction. Manufacturer warranties apply to many products we use, including paving, composite decking and lighting components. We also offer aftercare guidance for planting and seasonal maintenance. Any snagging items are handled promptly, with clear records of materials and build methods.
We tailor designs to your home’s style and how you use the space. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or hardwood decking, brick edging to echo period properties, and layered planting for shade and privacy. Lighting can include step lights, uplighters and discreet path LEDs, while water features range from rills to self-contained bowls. We present samples and visuals, then refine the scheme to your budget and maintenance preferences.
