Response within 24 hours
Camberwell’s mix of Georgian streets and lively creative venues deserves outdoor spaces with real structure. We deliver patios, pathways, walls, steps, edging and drainage that look sharp and perform year-round. Whether you’re near Camberwell Green or walking distance to Denmark Hill station, we’ll create a layout that improves access and adds value. Our builds are tailored to SE5 gardens, courtyards and front drives.
Local projects often involve Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments, each with different constraints. Period homes may need sympathetic paving choices and careful detailing around brickwork and iron railings. Terraced gardens can be narrow, so we plan efficient routes, bin-store areas and safe steps. For newer blocks, we focus on clean lines, robust foundations and discreet drainage to protect shared areas.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification, then agree materials and a practical programme. Every build includes proper sub-bases, falls and drainage so water moves away from the house. Homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, reliable communication and workmanship that stands up to heavy use. We’re based in Norbury and typically reach Camberwell in around 20 minutes for responsive support.
Hard landscaping in London Borough of Southwark often means tight access, controlled parking and careful waste handling. Around SE5, we regularly work with narrow side returns, basement levels and shared boundaries typical of terraces. We plan deliveries to suit local restrictions and keep walkways clear for neighbours. Ground preparation and drainage are adjusted to the site levels so paving stays stable through wet winters.

Costs vary by access, levels and material choice. As a guide, patios are often £120–£220 per m² supplied and installed, with premium stone higher. Pathways and edging can start from £80–£150 per m² depending on cuts and detailing. Driveways commonly range £140–£260 per m², especially where excavation and drainage channels are needed. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Typical timescales depend on size and complexity. A small patio or path may take 2–4 days, while a larger patio with steps, walls and drainage can take 1–2 weeks. Driveways often run 1–3 weeks, especially if there’s deep excavation, new foundations or multiple finishes. Weather, access for skips and deliveries, and curing time for concrete bases can all affect the programme.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but driveways and drainage can trigger rules, especially if you’re changing front garden surfacing. In general, permeable surfaces or directing water to a soakaway helps avoid issues. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra checks may apply. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you confirm details with Southwark’s guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, unstable edging, or failures in installation that lead to movement. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty is valid when the area is used as intended and basic maintenance is followed, such as keeping drainage points clear and avoiding harsh de-icing salts on certain stones.
We can build with porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, concrete pavers, resin-bound surfacing and brick edging, depending on the look and performance you want. For walls and steps, we use brickwork, blockwork with stone copings, or rendered finishes to match the house. We’ll help you choose colours and jointing that suit Camberwell’s period façades or modern apartments, and we’ll plan levels, lighting routes and drainage from the outset.
