Elephant & Castle gardens often need a practical reset—especially after building works, tenant changes, or years of low maintenance. We renovate outdoor spaces across SE1 and SE17, including around Elephant Park and the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre. Whether it’s a compact courtyard or a longer rear garden, we focus on making it tidy, safe and easy to enjoy. Expect clear recommendations, neat workmanship and a finish that suits modern London living.
This part of the London Borough of Southwark mixes modern high-rises, Victorian terraces and new-build apartments, so no two gardens are the same. We regularly work with shaded balconies and podium gardens, as well as traditional plots in Kennington and Walworth. Drainage, privacy and wear from heavy footfall are common themes, particularly near busy roads and transport links. Our renovation plans balance low-maintenance planting with durable surfaces that look sharp year-round.
Every project starts with a detailed assessment, then a staged plan: clearance, repairs, refresh planting and finishing touches. We can renovate lawns, clean patios, fix fences and replant borders in one coordinated visit schedule. You’ll get a written scope of works, tidy site management, and straightforward communication throughout. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, consistent quality, and a 10-year warranty on eligible workmanship.
Access can be tight around Newington and Borough, with controlled parking and shared entrances in apartment blocks. We plan loading, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption, and we’re used to coordinating with building managers. Southwark’s mix of clay pockets and made ground means drainage and soil conditioning matter, especially after construction. We adapt planting and lawn renovation methods to cope with shade, wind tunnels near towers like Strata, and high-use gardens.

Costs vary by garden size, access and how much repair work is needed. As a guide, a light renovation (clearance, tidy-up, patio clean, small replanting) often starts around £600–£1,500. Medium projects with lawn renovation, fence repairs and more planting are commonly £1,500–£4,000. Full renovations with significant repairs, new beds and multiple areas can be £4,000–£12,000+. We provide a tailored written estimate after assessment.
Many Elephant & Castle renovations take 1–3 days for clearance, repairs, patio cleaning and refresh planting. Projects including lawn renovation (scarifying, topdressing, reseeding/turfing) typically run 2–5 days, plus time for establishment. Larger gardens or those needing extensive fence repairs and multiple planting zones can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, waste volumes, weather, drying times and whether materials need ordering.
Most garden renovation work is permitted development, such as clearance, replanting, lawn renovation, patio cleaning and like-for-like fence repairs. However, permissions can apply for new walls, tall boundary treatments, major level changes, drainage alterations, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. In the London Borough of Southwark, rules can also vary for flats and communal spaces. We flag likely requirements during assessment and can advise on next steps.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on eligible workmanship for installed and repaired elements, such as fencing, edging, and certain hardscape repairs, when maintained correctly. Planting and lawns are living materials, so they’re covered differently and depend on season, watering and aftercare. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before work begins. If an issue relates to our workmanship, we return promptly to put it right.
We tailor the renovation to your space and how you use it. Popular options include low-maintenance evergreen structure, pollinator-friendly perennials, shade-tolerant planting for north-facing gardens, and smart lawn renovation with hard-wearing seed mixes. For surfaces, we can restore existing paving with patio cleaning, or recommend upgrades where needed. We’ll help you choose plants and finishes that suit light levels, privacy needs, and the look of your property.
