Nunhead homeowners often want outdoor spaces that feel tidy, practical and in keeping with the area’s character. Whether you’re close to Nunhead Green or walking distance from Nunhead Cemetery, we design and build hard landscaping that improves access, drainage and day-to-day use. Our team handles patios, pathways, walls, steps, edging and driveways as one coordinated project. The result is a garden that looks intentional rather than pieced together.
Much of SE15 is made up of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages, where levels, narrow side returns and older boundaries can complicate construction. We’re used to working with limited access, protecting existing brickwork and matching materials to traditional façades. If you’re upgrading a rear garden near Peckham or improving a front approach towards East Dulwich, we’ll plan the build around your property’s layout. That means correct falls, stable foundations and finishes that suit the architecture.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground conditions and discuss how you want to use the space. You’ll receive a clear written scope covering foundations, drainage, edging details and the chosen surface finishes, so there are no surprises. Our builds follow best practice for sub-bases, compaction and water management, and we keep the site orderly throughout. Homeowners choose us for hard landscaping nunhead area projects because we deliver clean lines, reliable timelines and workmanship you can trust.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark often means tight access, controlled parking and careful waste removal planning. In Nunhead, we frequently find mixed ground and older garden structures that need proper excavation and stable sub-bases. We design drainage with local rainfall in mind and route water responsibly to avoid issues near boundaries. Our approach suits the area’s period properties and the practical realities of SE15 streets.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth, drainage needs and material choice. As a guide, patios often range from £120–£220 per m² supplied and installed, depending on paving and sub-base. Pathways and edging can start around £80–£140 per m². Driveways commonly fall between £140–£260 per m², with additional costs for steps, walls or complex drainage. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most patio or pathway projects take 3–7 working days, while larger schemes combining walls, steps and drainage typically run 1–3 weeks. Driveways are often 5–10 working days, depending on excavation and curing times. Timescales are affected by access through the property, waste removal, level changes, and whether we’re building retaining structures or foundations. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front driveways must manage surface water correctly; using permeable surfaces or directing runoff to a suitable area is often required. If your property is affected by conservation considerations, boundary wall heights, or changes near the highway, additional rules may apply. We flag likely requirements at survey stage and can help you confirm details with Southwark guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our hard landscaping installations, covering issues linked to installation such as settlement from inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or drainage faults caused by poor falls. It applies when the area is used as intended and maintained sensibly. Materials are covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable, and we’ll explain those at quotation stage. If a problem arises, we respond promptly and put it right.
We can create a tailored design using porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, concrete pavers, or resin-bound surfaces for driveways. For walls and steps, options include brick to match period homes, rendered finishes, or natural stone copings. Edging can be subtle (flush) or defined (raised kerbs), depending on the look and maintenance you want. We’ll show samples, discuss slip resistance and colour, and recommend what suits your property and budget.
