Kingston upon Thames combines a historic market town feel with standout riverside living, so your garden should feel just as considered as your home. Whether you’re near Kingston Bridge or popping into the Bentall Centre, we create outdoor spaces that work for entertaining, family time and quiet evenings. Our makeovers cover everything from full design through to build and finishing details. The result is a cohesive garden that looks great in every season.
Across KT1 and KT2 we regularly work on Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each with different challenges and opportunities. Period homes often benefit from sympathetic paving layouts, brick edging and layered planting that suits traditional architecture. Newer properties can take bolder lines, contemporary porcelain patios and clean lighting schemes. We tailor levels, drainage and materials to your plot so the finished garden feels original to the property.
Your makeover starts with a site visit, measured survey and concept design, followed by a clear specification and staged programme. We handle hard landscaping (patios, decking, walls, steps), soft landscaping (turfing and planting), plus lighting and water features where desired. You’ll get transparent communication, tidy working practices and professional installation standards throughout. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, craftsmanship and a finish that lasts.
Kingston plots vary from compact town gardens to longer riverside spaces, and access can be tight around Surbiton and New Malden. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Ground conditions and existing levels often require careful drainage design, especially where patios meet older brickwork. We also consider local constraints and conservation sensitivities, adapting materials and detailing to suit the street and property style.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a small makeover with new patio, turf and planting often starts around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-size gardens with decking, lighting and more extensive planting commonly fall between £12,000–£30,000. Larger, design-led projects with porcelain paving, walls, steps and water features can be £30,000–£70,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after survey and design.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for smaller gardens and 3–6 weeks for medium makeovers, depending on complexity. Larger schemes with significant groundwork, retaining walls, multiple levels, lighting and water features can run 6–10+ weeks. Timescales are influenced by access, drying times for concrete bases, lead times for materials, and whether we’re planting in peak season. We set a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, decking at low levels, planting and most lighting. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels significantly, adding large structures, or installing certain water features. Drainage and surface water management can also affect what’s acceptable. We flag likely permissions early, check local guidance where needed, and can help you prepare information for the council if required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as patios, decking substructures, steps, walls and edging, when installed to our specification. This covers defects arising from installation rather than general wear, accidental damage or lack of maintenance. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we pass on where applicable. We’ll explain what’s covered for your project and provide care guidance to keep everything looking its best.
We offer a wide range of options, from sandstone and porcelain patios to composite or timber decking, brick or stone edging, and bespoke raised beds. Soft landscaping can include new lawns, low-maintenance planting, wildlife-friendly borders and evergreen structure. For atmosphere and usability, we can add discreet LED lighting, feature uplights and water features such as rills or bubbling stones. We’ll guide you through samples, layout choices and maintenance levels to match your budget and style.
