If your garden in SE22 feels dated, awkward or hard to use, we can rework it into a space that suits how you live. We regularly transform gardens around Lordship Lane and near Dulwich Park, creating smarter layouts for dining, play and year-round enjoyment. Expect a considered blend of hard landscaping and soft landscaping, tailored to your property and lifestyle. Every makeover is planned to look great from day one and mature beautifully over time.
East Dulwich is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with long, narrow plots and level changes. We design to make the most of every metre—clean lines for contemporary extensions, or softer planting schemes that complement original brickwork. For homes near Peckham Rye or Dulwich Village, we often introduce zoned seating, discreet storage and planting that thrives in part shade. The result is a garden that feels larger, calmer and easier to maintain.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a full design that covers layout, materials, planting and lighting. Once agreed, our in-house team completes the build—patios, decking, edging, lawns, beds, irrigation and water features—keeping the site tidy and neighbours considered. You’ll get clear scheduling, itemised costs and regular updates throughout. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, thoughtful detailing and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We’re used to the access challenges of Southwark terraces—side returns, narrow passages and shared boundaries. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and soil before setting levels for patios and lawns. Parking and deliveries around Lordship Lane can be tight, so we plan logistics to minimise disruption. Our garden makeovers in London Borough of Southwark are designed to meet local expectations and practical site constraints.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small SE22 courtyard refresh with new paving and planting may start around £6,000–£12,000. A mid-size terrace garden makeover with patio, decking, lighting and new turf often falls between £15,000–£35,000. Larger, fully redesigned gardens with premium stone, bespoke joinery and water features can be £40,000+. We provide itemised estimates after a site visit.
Most projects in the garden makeovers East Dulwich area range take 1–3 weeks for smaller gardens and 3–8 weeks for full redesigns with hard landscaping, lighting and planting. Timescales depend on access, groundwork depth, drainage changes, curing times for concrete, and the complexity of decking or water features. Weather can also affect progress. We agree a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout the build.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, planting and most decking within height limits. However, rules can apply to raised platforms, structures near boundaries, drainage changes, listed buildings and properties in conservation areas. Southwark may also have guidance on surface water management and materials. We flag any likely permissions during the design stage and can help you gather the information needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden makeovers, covering installation quality for hard landscaping such as patios, edging, steps and decking structures when maintained correctly. Materials typically carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we pass on where applicable. If any workmanship-related issue arises, we’ll inspect and put it right promptly. You’ll also receive care guidance for planting, lawns and lighting to protect your investment.
We tailor every scheme, from contemporary porcelain patios to natural sandstone, clay pavers or resin-bound paths. Decking options include composite for low maintenance or hardwood for a premium finish. Planting can be architectural, wildlife-friendly or cottage-style, with year-round structure and seasonal colour. We also install low-glare garden lighting, pergolas and compact water features. We’ll recommend options that suit your home’s style, budget and how you use the space.
