If your garden in SE22 has become overgrown, uneven or hard to use, we can reset it properly. We renovate gardens across East Dulwich, from Lordship Lane terraces to family homes near Dulwich Park. Our team tackles everything from clearance and repairs to replanting and lawn renovation. The aim is a garden that looks sharp, drains well and stays manageable.
East Dulwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with long, narrow plots and shared side access. We’re used to working around mature boundaries, old paving bases and tired fencing that needs careful repair rather than quick fixes. Whether you’re in Peckham Rye or closer to Dulwich Village, we tailor layouts and planting to light levels and privacy needs. The result feels considered, not cookie-cutter.
We start with a detailed assessment, then plan the clearance, repairs and refresh planting in the right order. You’ll get a clear scope, honest recommendations and a tidy site every day. Our team uses proven materials, proper ground preparation and neat finishing so the renovation lasts. Many local homeowners choose us because we communicate well and stand by our work.
We carry out garden renovation in the East Dulwich area with a practical understanding of Southwark properties and access constraints. Many SE22 gardens have narrow paths, steps and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and waste collections to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can vary from compacted sub-bases under old patios to shaded borders behind extensions, so we adjust drainage, soil improvement and plant choices accordingly. If council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the job compliant.

Costs vary with access, waste volume and how much needs rebuilding. As a guide, a light renovation (clearance, tidy-up, small repairs and refresh planting) often starts around £1,200–£3,000. Mid-range projects including lawn renovation, patio cleaning and multiple repairs are commonly £3,000–£8,000. Larger renovations with significant replanting, fencing repairs and groundwork can be £8,000–£20,000+ depending on size and specification.
Most renovations take 2–10 working days, depending on garden size and the scope of repairs. A straightforward clearance, patio clean and refresh planting may be completed in 1–3 days. If you’re adding lawn renovation, fixing levels, repairing fences and improving borders, allow 4–10 days. Timescales are affected by access in SE22, waste removal logistics, curing time for any repairs, and weather during planting and lawn work.
Most garden renovation work is permitted development, such as clearance, planting, lawn renovation, patio cleaning and like-for-like fence repairs. Planning permission may be needed for major level changes, new large hardstanding, boundary walls, or work affecting protected trees. Some properties near conservation areas can have extra restrictions. We’ll advise what’s likely to apply, check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Southwark, and recommend formal confirmation where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for qualifying hard landscaping and repair elements completed as part of your renovation, such as rebuilt edges, bases and installed features. It covers defects caused by installation issues, not damage from misuse, extreme weather events or third-party alterations. Living materials (plants and lawns) are covered separately because establishment depends on aftercare and conditions. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before work starts.
We offer practical options that suit period homes and modern family life: refreshed borders with year-round structure, shade-tolerant planting for narrow plots, and lawn renovation for play-friendly grass. For hard surfaces, we can clean and revive existing patios, or recommend upgrades where needed. Fencing repairs can be matched to existing panels or improved with sturdier posts and fixings. We’ll guide choices based on light, drainage, maintenance preference and budget.
