The West Dulwich area is known for leafy streets, excellent parks and characterful homes, including Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions. These properties can bring quirks such as narrow side access, raised thresholds and older boundary walls that need careful tying-in. We plan hard landscaping west dulwich area projects to protect original features while improving everyday use. The result is a garden that feels cohesive, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, assess drainage and discuss how you use the space. You’ll receive a clear specification covering foundations, falls, edging details and finishes, so there are no surprises. Our team works tidily, communicates throughout, and signs off each stage before moving on. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, durable build methods and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Hard landscaping in London Borough of Lambeth often means working with variable ground conditions and gardens that sit on slopes or altered levels. Around SE21, access can be tight and parking needs planning, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also design with period property proportions in mind, keeping walls, copings and paving courses in scale. Where required, we factor in permeable surfaces and drainage details to suit local expectations.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide in SE21, patios commonly range from £120–£220 per m² depending on paving type and groundworks. New driveways are often £90–£180 per m², with permeable options typically higher. Steps, walls and drainage are priced by complexity and materials; small structural packages may start around £1,500–£3,500. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on the scope. A straightforward patio may be completed in 3–5 days, while a driveway with drainage and edging can take 5–10 days. Retaining walls, multiple level changes and bespoke steps extend timelines, as do restricted access and skip permits. Weather and curing times for concrete foundations can also affect the schedule. We confirm a programme before starting.
Many patio and garden hardscape works are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around drainage and materials. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway, using permeable surfacing or directing water to a suitable soakaway is often required. Listed buildings, flats, or properties in conservation areas may have extra constraints. We’ll flag likely requirements, advise on compliant options, and help you check with Lambeth where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues related to installation such as unstable sub-bases, failed joints, or movement caused by incorrect foundations. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what each product includes. The warranty assumes normal use and excludes damage from third-party works or extreme events. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep paving and joints in good condition.
We can build with porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, clay pavers, or high-quality concrete flags, depending on the look and maintenance you prefer. For walls and steps, options include brick to match existing elevations, rendered blockwork, or natural stone with copings. Driveways can be block paving, resin-bound, or permeable systems with channel drainage. We’ll recommend layouts, edging profiles and colours that suit your property and budget.
