Whether you’re refreshing a small courtyard or reworking a full back garden, we deliver planting that looks great and performs well. We work across SE5, including around Camberwell Green and Denmark Hill station, tailoring schemes to light levels, privacy needs and how you use the space. Expect thoughtful combinations of perennials, bulbs, shrubs and feature trees. Every planting plan is designed to mature beautifully, not just look good on day one.
Camberwell’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments calls for flexible planting solutions. For period gardens, we often create layered borders that complement brickwork and traditional layouts. For newer builds, we use clean planting lines, architectural shrubs and compact trees that suit tighter footprints. If your garden sits close to neighbouring buildings, we’ll specify plants that cope with shade, reflected heat and wind tunnels.
We start with a site visit, then produce a planting design that fits your style, budget and maintenance preferences. Next, we source quality plants, prepare the soil, plant correctly, and finish with mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. You’ll get clear aftercare guidance and optional maintenance visits to help everything establish. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re used to the London Borough of Southwark’s varied garden conditions, from compact rear plots to larger period gardens. Access can be tight on terraced streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully and work efficiently to minimise disruption. Where parking is restricted near busy routes and local hubs, we schedule around practical loading times. We also adapt planting choices to shade from tall buildings and the microclimates common in SE5.

Costs vary with garden size, plant density and whether you need a full planting design and soil improvement. As a guide, small border refreshes often start from £450–£900 including plants and labour. Medium gardens typically range £1,200–£3,000. Larger schemes with trees, extensive shrub planting, perennials, bulbs and mulching can be £3,500–£8,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a visit.
Most jobs take 1–3 days on site, depending on access, the amount of soil preparation and the number of plants. A simple border planting can be completed in a day, while a full garden scheme with trees, multiple borders and mulching may take several days. Timescales are affected by plant availability, weather, and whether we’re improving drainage or adding compost and topsoil before planting.
Garden planting is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, there can be restrictions if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if you’re proposing work to protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) or boundary hedges. If tree planting is close to walls, drains or neighbours, we’ll advise on sensible positioning and species choice. We can help you check relevant Southwark guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship for the installed elements, including correct planting practices, staking where required and proper mulching and finishing. Living plants are affected by weather, watering and site conditions, so plant guarantees depend on supplier terms and aftercare. We’ll give clear watering and maintenance instructions, and we can offer follow-up visits to check establishment and replace any failures where applicable.
We can create anything from contemporary evergreen structure to softer cottage-style borders. Popular options include layered perennial planting, spring bulbs for early colour, flowering shrubs for mid-season interest, and small ornamental trees for height and screening. We also specify mulches such as composted bark, woodchip or decorative gravels where appropriate. We’ll help you choose plants based on sun/shade, soil, pets, allergies and your preferred maintenance level.
