Richmond gardens often deserve more than a quick tidy-up; they need a considered redesign that complements the area’s village feel and riverside setting. Whether you’re near Richmond Green or walking distance to Richmond Bridge, we create spaces that work for entertaining, family time and quiet evenings. Our makeovers combine full design with hard and soft landscaping for a cohesive finish. Expect clean lines, durable materials and planting that looks good year-round.
Across TW9 and TW10 we regularly work on Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and contemporary riverside properties, each with different constraints and opportunities. Narrow side access, basement lightwells and multi-level terraces are common, especially around Petersham and Kew. We design layouts that improve flow, privacy and drainage without losing character. Planting plans are tailored to aspect and shelter, so borders thrive rather than struggle.
Your project starts with a site visit, measured survey and concept options, followed by a clear specification and staged programme. We manage everything in-house: demolition, groundwork, paving, decking, planting, lighting and water features, with tidy working practices throughout. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact and regular updates as the build progresses. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent scopes and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, access and parking can be tight, especially on residential streets near Richmond Theatre and the town centre. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Many gardens sit on mixed London soils, so we prioritise proper sub-bases, drainage falls and soil improvement before planting. For homes in Ham and Twickenham, we also factor in wind exposure and privacy screening in the design.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, smaller refresh-style garden makeovers Richmond area homeowners choose (new patio, turf, simple planting) often start around £8,000–£15,000. Mid-sized redesigns with quality paving, raised beds, lighting and improved drainage commonly fall between £18,000–£40,000. Larger, high-end schemes for riverside properties with decking, bespoke joinery and water features can be £45,000–£100,000+.
Most projects run from 2 to 8 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward patio-and-planting update may take 10–15 working days, while full redesigns with levels, retaining walls, lighting and water features can take 4–10 weeks. Timescales are affected by access (common in TW9/TW10), curing time for concrete, lead times for materials, and any unexpected drainage or ground condition issues uncovered during excavation.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, planting, and like-for-like boundary repairs. However, planning can apply to taller walls, structures near boundaries, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas, which are common locally. Drainage rules also matter, particularly for impermeable surfacing. We flag likely permissions early, check relevant guidance, and can coordinate details so your garden makeovers in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, sub-bases, edging, retaining details and structural timber work (where specified). Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting, composite decking and pumps for water features. We also give clear care guidance for planting and lawns, plus aftercare visits where agreed, so your garden settles in and performs as designed.
We tailor each design to your home and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or hardwood decking, brick or rendered raised beds, and contemporary slatted screening for privacy. For soft landscaping we specify layered planting, evergreen structure and seasonal colour, plus instant or seeded lawns. Lighting options range from subtle step lights to uplighters for feature trees, and water features from rills to self-contained bowls.
