Battersea's mixture of period conversions and new riverside developments creates fascinating hard landscaping challenges. Whether you're dealing with a narrow side return that needs maximising or a Nine Elms penthouse terrace crying out for contemporary stonework, the right materials make all the difference. Many properties near Clapham Junction struggle with sloping gardens where proper retaining walls could unlock usable space.
Material selection depends heavily on your property's character and drainage requirements. York stone suits those Edwardian villas perfectly, whilst porcelain tiles handle the weather extremes on exposed balconies. Proper sub-base preparation prevents the dreaded sinking that plagues so many London driveways - particularly important given SW11's clay soil conditions. Integrating practical elements like built-in planters or hidden drainage channels keeps everything looking sharp year-round.
Twenty years working across Battersea means knowing which suppliers deliver on time and which planning officers appreciate thoughtful design. Local knowledge matters when you're navigating conservation area requirements or matching existing brickwork on those characteristic mansion blocks.

Terracing transforms awkward slopes beautifully. Using gabion walls, timber sleepers or rendered blocks, we'll design levels that maximise space whilst managing drainage properly - essential on Battersea's London clay.
