Bermondsey gardens and courtyards need hard landscaping that balances style with durability, especially around busy streets like Bermondsey Street and near London Bridge. We design and build patios, pathways, walls, steps and edging that make outdoor space practical in all seasons. Whether you want a dining terrace or a clean route from back door to bin store, we set levels and falls properly. The result is a space that drains well and feels integrated with your property.
The Bermondsey area mixes converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments, each with different constraints. Warehouse courtyards often need robust paving, discreet drainage and strong foundations for planters or seating. Victorian gardens benefit from crisp brick edging, sympathetic walling and steps that match original proportions. For newer builds around Surrey Quays and Rotherhithe, we focus on clean lines, low-maintenance surfaces and safe access.
Our process starts with a site survey, level checks and a practical design that considers access and waste removal. We build from the ground up: sub-base, compaction, edging restraints and correct falls, then finish with precise jointing and detailing. You’ll get clear specifications, staged updates and a tidy site at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for hard landscaping bermondsey area projects because we prioritise longevity, not shortcuts.
In the London Borough of Southwark, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste collections carefully. Bermondsey plots often sit between neighbouring walls, which makes drainage and levels critical to avoid damp issues. We’re used to working around shared access routes and courtyard entrances in SE1 and SE16. Our methods suit both warehouse yards near Tower Bridge and smaller terrace gardens.

Costs vary with materials, access and ground preparation. As a guide, patios often start around £120–£220 per m² installed, with premium stone and complex detailing higher. Brick or block walls can range from £250–£450 per m² depending on height and foundations. Driveway works commonly fall between £3,500–£12,000+ based on size, drainage and finishes. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most patio or pathway projects take 3–7 working days once materials are on site. Larger schemes with walls, steps, drainage and multiple levels typically run 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common in Bermondsey mews and courtyards), the amount of excavation, curing time for concrete, and weather. We agree a programme in advance and keep you updated if anything changes.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need compliant drainage (such as permeable surfacing or a soakaway) to avoid directing water to the highway. Tall front boundary walls, listed buildings, and conservation considerations can also affect what’s allowed. We flag likely requirements early and can help you check Southwark guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our hard landscaping installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging restraints, and failures linked to our construction methods. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll advise on care to keep surfaces looking their best. If a problem arises, we arrange an inspection and put it right promptly where covered.
For Bermondsey homes, popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone or limestone for a warmer natural look, and reclaimed brick edging to suit Victorian terraces. For warehouse courtyards, large-format concrete or granite setts can look striking and handle heavy use. We’ll guide you on slip resistance, drainage, colour tones and jointing, then produce a layout that works with your levels, doors and lighting.
