Kennington gardens often need clever planning to feel bigger, brighter and easier to use. Whether you’re near The Oval cricket ground or walking distance from Kennington Park, we create outdoor spaces that suit busy London life. Our makeovers combine hard landscaping with planting that thrives in SE11 conditions. The result is a garden that looks sharp year-round and works day to day.
We regularly work with Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks across Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall. These properties can come with long, narrow plots, shaded corners and tricky access through side returns or communal routes. We design around period details, keeping lines clean while adding modern comfort. If you’re renovating indoors, we’ll help the garden match the standard of the home.
Every project starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear design proposal. We then schedule the build in logical stages: groundwork, drainage, hard landscaping, then soft landscaping and finishing touches. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and quality materials chosen for longevity. Homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, careful workmanship and a finish that lasts.
In the Kennington area we often deal with restricted access, resident parking controls and tighter working hours near busy routes towards Elephant & Castle. Soil can vary, so we assess drainage and levels before laying patios or lawns. For period properties, we keep detailing sympathetic while upgrading usability with lighting and robust edging. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption on SE11 streets.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, smaller refreshes with new planting, edging and minor paving often start around £3,000–£8,000.

Full redesigns with drainage works, premium stone, bespoke joinery and water features can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for a straightforward build, such as a patio, turf and planting. Larger garden makeovers in London Borough of Lambeth with multiple levels, drainage, retaining work, lighting and bespoke features usually run 4–8 weeks. Timescales depend on access routes, curing times for concrete, material lead times and weather. We provide a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden works are permitted development, including patios, decking at low level and typical planting schemes. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary treatments, significant level changes and certain lighting or water feature installations. Permeable surfacing and drainage may also matter for front gardens. We’ll flag any likely permissions early, advise on compliant designs and can help you prepare information for Lambeth if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as patios, decking structures, retaining details and built features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting and pumps for water features, and we pass these on. We also give care guidance for planting and lawns, plus aftercare support to keep everything performing as intended.
We tailor each scheme, from contemporary courtyards to softer, planted gardens that suit period homes. Popular choices include porcelain paving, sandstone, clay pavers, composite or hardwood decking, raised beds in brick or rendered finishes, and layered planting for year-round interest. Lighting can be subtle spike spots, step lights or wall washers, and water features range from rills to self-contained bowls. We help you compare looks, maintenance and budgets before you commit.
