Woolwich gardens come in all shapes, from compact courtyards near the Royal Arsenal to longer plots around Plumstead. Our makeovers combine full design with hard and soft landscaping to maximise space and usability. Whether you want a family-friendly patio, a sleek decked seating zone, or a planted retreat, we tailor the layout to your lifestyle. We also plan lighting so the garden works long after sunset.
The Woolwich area mixes Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments, each with different access and proportions. Terraced gardens often need smart level changes, durable paving and built-in storage. Converted developments can benefit from contemporary materials and crisp planting schemes. For balconies and small ground-floor spaces, we create high-impact planting, compact water features and low-maintenance finishes that suit busy homeowners.
Our process starts with a site visit and a clear design proposal, then we manage the build from groundworks to final planting. You’ll get transparent specifications, staged payments and a schedule you can rely on. We protect your home, keep pathways clear, and leave the site clean at the end of each day. Local clients choose us for consistent communication, premium materials and a finish that lasts.
Across SE18 we often find mixed ground conditions, from compacted sub-bases in newer sites to heavier soils near the Thames. Access can be tight around Woolwich Town Centre, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in shared pathways and managed developments near the Royal Arsenal. Where needed, we align works with Royal Borough of Greenwich requirements and good drainage practice.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, smaller garden refreshes with new planting and minor hard landscaping often start around £3,000–£8,000. Mid-size makeovers including a new patio or decking, lighting and planting commonly fall between £10,000–£25,000. Larger, full re-builds with levels, drainage, premium paving and features can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for straightforward patios, decking and planting, and 4–8 weeks for full redesigns with excavation, retaining, lighting and water features. Timescales depend on access (common with terraces), the amount of groundwork, curing time for concrete, and material lead times. We provide a programme before starting and keep you updated if weather or deliveries affect the schedule.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, decking at low height, planting and most lighting. However, rules can change if you’re in a listed building, a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels significantly, adding tall structures, or installing major drainage changes. For properties in managed developments, there may be estate guidelines too. We flag likely requirements early and can help you check with the council.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping elements, such as sub-bases, paving installation and structural build details, when maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting, composite decking or pumps for water features. We also provide aftercare guidance for planting and lawns, and we’re available to resolve snagging promptly following completion.
We design around your style and maintenance preferences. Popular choices include porcelain paving or sandstone for patios, timber or composite decking, raised planters in brick or rendered blockwork, and layered planting with evergreens and seasonal colour. Lighting can be subtle spike spots, step lights or wall washes, and water features range from simple rills to self-contained bowls. We bring samples, explain pros and cons, and specify finishes that suit your budget.
