Herne Hill gardens come in all shapes and sizes, from compact courtyards to long family plots near Brockwell Park. We create tailored layouts that suit how you live outdoors—entertaining, relaxing, or making space for children and pets. Whether you’re close to Herne Hill station or over towards Dulwich, we plan every detail for year-round use. Expect crisp levels, durable materials and planting that thrives in SE24 conditions.
Many homes here are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with narrow side access and mature boundaries. We’re used to working around existing brickwork, cellar lightwells, and heritage-style details so the finished garden complements the property. If your plot backs onto neighbouring gardens in Brixton or Tulse Hill, privacy and screening can be built in without losing light. We also design for practicalities like bin routes, bike storage and family seating zones.
Our process starts with a site visit and concept design, then a clear specification covering hard landscaping, soft landscaping and finishes. You’ll receive a staged programme, transparent costs, and a dedicated project lead throughout. We protect your home during works, keep the site tidy, and sign off with a final walkthrough and care guidance for planting and surfaces. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
We’re familiar with garden makeovers in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, where access can be tight and parking needs planning. SE24 soils can vary from freer-draining beds to heavier clay pockets, so we specify the right sub-bases, drainage and plant choices. For terraces near the Herne Hill Velodrome and Brockwell Park, we often improve levels and manage runoff to protect paving and lawns. If approvals are needed, we can advise on what the local council is likely to expect.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with new paving, planting and lighting might start around £6,000–£12,000. Medium gardens with new patio, turf, borders and fencing often fall in the £15,000–£35,000 range. Larger, full redesigns with decking, bespoke joinery, lighting and water features can be £40,000+. We provide an itemised proposal after a survey.
Most projects take 1–6 weeks once work starts. A straightforward patio and planting scheme may be completed in 7–14 days, while a full rebuild with levels, drainage, decking and lighting typically takes 3–5 weeks. Timescales depend on access through period terraces, weather, curing time for concrete bases, and lead times for bespoke materials. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as replacing patios, adding planting beds, and installing low-voltage lighting. However, permission can be required for certain boundary treatments, structures over specific heights, works to listed buildings, or if your property is in a conservation area. Drainage rules also apply for new hard surfaces to prevent runoff onto the highway. We check the relevant Lambeth/Southwark guidance and flag any approvals before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship on items such as patios, decking substructures, retaining edges and installed drainage, when built to our specification. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like porcelain, composite decking, lighting transformers and pumps. Planting is living material, so we give clear aftercare guidance and can offer maintenance options to help it establish well.
We tailor the look to your home and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or hardwood decking, brick edging to suit period properties, and layered planting with evergreen structure plus seasonal colour. Lighting options range from subtle step lights to uplighters for trees and feature walls. Water features can be contemporary rills or compact bubbling stones. We bring samples, propose alternatives, and design within your budget.
