Homes across SE11 range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to mansion blocks with courtyards and balconies. These properties can have narrow side returns, shaded rear gardens and compact borders that benefit from careful plant selection. We design planting to complement period brickwork and iron railings, while keeping maintenance realistic. If you’re in Oval, Vauxhall or Elephant & Castle, we’ll tailor the palette to your aspect and microclimate.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess sun, soil, drainage and existing plants worth keeping. We then produce a clear planting plan, source high-quality stock, and install with correct spacing, staking and mulching for strong establishment. You’ll get straightforward aftercare guidance and optional maintenance support as plants settle in.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density and the mix of shrubs, perennials, bulbs and trees. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £600–£1,500 including plant supply, while fuller redesigns for multiple beds typically fall between £2,000–£6,000. Tree planting can add £250–£1,200+ per tree depending on size and access. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most planting installs take 1–2 days for a single border or small courtyard, and 2–5 days for several beds with soil improvement and mulching. Larger schemes with tree planting, extensive shrub planting and staged deliveries can run 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access, the amount of ground preparation, whether existing plants need lifting, and seasonal availability of certain nursery stock. We agree a schedule before ordering plants.
In most cases, garden planting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re in a conservation area, if there are Tree Preservation Orders, or if work affects boundary walls or shared spaces in mansion blocks. For larger tree planting or changes near public highways, we’ll advise on best practice and check constraints where relevant. We can also coordinate with managing agents for communal gardens.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation standards such as correct planting depth, staking, fixings and mulching where specified. Plants are living materials, so their success depends on watering, weather and site conditions; we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to maximise establishment. If any issues arise that relate to installation, we’ll return to assess and put things right. Optional maintenance visits can be added for extra peace of mind.
We offer everything from contemporary architectural planting to softer cottage-style borders, with options for evergreen structure, pollinator-friendly perennials and seasonal bulbs. Popular choices include mixed shrub borders, woodland planting for shade, clipped forms for Georgian-style gardens, and specimen trees for focal points. We also supply mulches such as composted bark and organic soil improvers to boost performance. If you want garden planting in London Borough of Lambeth that suits your home, we’ll guide you on palettes, heights and maintenance levels.
