Peckham gardens come in all shapes—compact courtyards, long terrace plots, and warehouse-style patios. We create tailored makeovers that suit how you live, whether you want a dining terrace, a family lawn, or a low-maintenance retreat. Working across SE15, we’re often near Peckham Rye Park and Peckham Library, so we understand the local feel. Expect crisp detailing, practical layouts, and planting that looks good year-round.
Many homes around Nunhead and Queen’s Road are Victorian terraces with narrow access and level changes, while nearby you’ll also find Georgian houses and converted warehouses needing a different approach. We design around existing brickwork, party walls, and mature trees, keeping proportions right for smaller London gardens. Where space is tight, we use built-in seating, smart storage, and layered planting to add depth. The result is a garden that feels bigger, calmer, and easier to use.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey, and a clear design proposal covering hard landscaping, soft landscaping, and finishing touches. We manage groundworks, drainage, decking, patios, lighting and water features with tidy, well-planned scheduling. You’ll get transparent specifications, staged payments, and regular updates throughout the build. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clean handovers, and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Southwark, we regularly work with tight side returns, shared boundaries and limited skip placement. Peckham’s mix of older terraces and warehouse conversions often means uneven ground, old rubble sub-bases, and drainage that needs upgrading. We plan deliveries and parking carefully and keep neighbours informed when access is shared. Our solutions are built to suit SE15 conditions and day-to-day London living.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with new paving and planting might start around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-size makeovers with patios, raised beds, lighting and improved drainage often sit between £10,000–£25,000. Larger projects including decking, bespoke joinery and water features can be £25,000–£60,000+. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–6 weeks once work starts. A simple patio-and-planting upgrade may be completed in 7–10 working days, while full redesigns with drainage, retaining edges, decking, lighting and water features typically run 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access through the house, waste removal, curing time for concrete, and lead times for specialist materials. We agree a realistic programme before breaking ground.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planting beds, or installing low-level lighting. However, rules can apply to raised decking heights, structures near boundaries, drainage changes, and works to listed buildings or in conservation areas. Permeable surfacing may be required for larger paved areas to manage runoff. We’ll flag likely permissions early and can help you check Southwark’s requirements before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, giving you confidence in the build quality. This covers issues arising from installation, such as movement or failure linked to sub-base preparation, pointing, or construction methods, subject to normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting, decking boards, and pumps for water features. You’ll receive care guidance to keep everything performing well.
We tailor designs to your home and budget, from porcelain paving, sandstone and clay pavers to composite or hardwood decking. Popular options include raised rendered planters, brick detailing to match period properties, and low-glare LED lighting for steps and borders. Planting can range from architectural evergreens to pollinator-friendly perennials and small trees for privacy. We’ll show samples, explain maintenance, and help you choose a cohesive palette.
