If your outdoor space feels dated, awkward or hard to use, we can transform it with a complete garden makeover tailored to your home. We work across SW2, including streets around Streatham Hill station and Christchurch Road. Whether you want a cleaner layout for entertaining or a greener family garden, our team designs and builds the whole project. Expect clear plans, tidy workmanship and a finish that looks great year-round.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with long, narrow gardens, level changes and shared access. We design around these realities—creating smarter zoning, improving drainage, and choosing materials that suit period architecture. For busier households, we can reduce maintenance without losing character, using robust paving, structured planting and durable lawn solutions. Our experience across Streatham, Tulse Hill and West Norwood helps us match styles that feel right locally.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a design proposal, then moves into hard landscaping and finishing soft landscaping. We coordinate decking, patios, planting, lighting and water features so everything works together from day one. You’ll get a clear programme, respectful neighbours-first working practices, and quality materials installed by specialists. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, consistent site management and a result that lasts.
We’re used to the access challenges of Lambeth terraces—side returns, narrow paths and timed deliveries. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels, drainage and soil before setting foundations and paving falls. We also plan around parking restrictions and considerate working near busy routes such as around Streatham Hill Theatre. Where needed, we’ll advise on boundary details and any council considerations for garden structures.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. As a guide, smaller refresh projects with new paving and planting often start around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-sized makeovers with patios/decking, lighting and new lawn commonly fall between £15,000–£35,000. Larger transformations with drainage works, walls, bespoke joinery and water features can be £40,000+. After a site visit in SW2, we provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most garden makeovers take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward patio, lawn and planting scheme may be completed in 10–15 working days, while projects involving retaining walls, steps, drainage upgrades, lighting and water features take longer. Timescales are affected by access (common with terraces), curing times for concrete bases, and lead times for materials. We provide a clear programme before work begins.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, planting and like-for-like boundary repairs. However, rules can apply to raised decking, taller walls/fences, significant level changes, and works near listed buildings or within conservation areas. Drainage and surface water requirements may also influence paving choices. We flag likely permissions early, check constraints relevant to your property in Lambeth, and can help you prepare information for the council if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, decking substructures, retaining walls and built features, provided they’re used and maintained normally. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like paving slabs, composite boards, lighting fittings and pumps. We also offer aftercare guidance for planting and lawn establishment. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and put it right.
Popular choices include porcelain patios for a crisp, modern finish, sandstone for a softer period feel, and composite or hardwood decking for dining areas. Planting often combines evergreen structure with seasonal perennials, plus climbers to soften boundaries. For lighting, we use low-glare path lights, uplighters and step lighting; water features range from simple rills to self-contained bowls. We’ll recommend options that suit your home’s style, budget and maintenance preferences.
