A great garden should feel like an extra room, not a weekend chore. Our makeovers in SE15 cover everything from layout and levels to patios, planting and lighting. We regularly work near Nunhead Cemetery and Telegraph Hill Park, so we understand the mix of compact plots and longer family gardens. Whether you want a low-maintenance courtyard or a lush entertaining space, we’ll build it properly.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often come with narrow side access, older boundary walls and established trees. That means careful material choices, tidy logistics and respectful work around neighbours. We design to complement period brickwork and traditional proportions while adding modern comfort. If you’re comparing garden makeovers Nunhead area options, we’ll show you what works best for your plot and budget.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design brief, then provide a detailed proposal before any work begins. Your project is managed end-to-end: hard landscaping, soft landscaping, planting plans, lighting and water features, with clean workmanship throughout. We keep you informed with agreed milestones and sensible scheduling. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent costs and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the London Borough of Southwark can have heavy clay pockets, compacted ground and tricky drainage, especially on sloping plots. We plan falls, sub-bases and soakaway options to keep patios and lawns usable year-round. Access and parking around SE15 streets can be tight, so we schedule deliveries carefully and keep disruption down. Our designs also suit the scale and character of Nunhead’s period homes.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with new paving and planting may start around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-size gardens with patio/decking, new borders and lighting often fall between £10,000–£25,000. Full redesigns with levels, retaining, premium stone, irrigation or water features can be £25,000–£60,000+. We’ll itemise options so you can control spend.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for a straightforward patio, planting and tidy-up, while larger redesigns with multiple zones typically run 3–8 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage work, access through the house, and curing time for concrete bases. Bespoke joinery, lighting electrics and water features can add days. We provide a programme before starting and keep you updated if anything changes.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, decking at low level, planting and most lighting. However, rules can apply to raised platforms, structures, boundary heights, drainage to the public sewer, and work near protected trees. If your property is in a conservation area or has restrictions, extra checks may be needed. We review your plans against Southwark guidance and advise if permissions are required before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering issues arising from installation defects under normal use. This includes items like sub-base preparation, paving/edging stability and structural elements we build. Manufacturer warranties apply to products such as lighting fixtures, composite decking and pumps for water features. We also provide care guidance so planting and finishes establish well after handover.
We tailor designs to how you live: dining patios in porcelain or sandstone, timber or composite decking, and planting schemes ranging from architectural evergreens to cottage-style borders. Popular additions include pergolas, built-in seating, low-glare LED lighting and compact water features for sound and movement. We’ll bring samples, discuss maintenance levels, and design around sun/shade, privacy and period property character to create a cohesive result.
