From the Bentall Centre to Kingston Bridge, first impressions matter on every new-build and conversion scheme.

Kingston upon Thames combines Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, often within the KT1 and KT2 postcodes. That mix calls for landscaping that respects period character while meeting modern expectations for parking, bin storage and low-maintenance planting. Whether you’re building in Surbiton or near the riverside, we specify materials and plants that suit the setting and year-round use. The result is a cohesive external finish across plots and shared spaces.
We start with a clear scope, phased plan and sample approvals, then deliver with tidy site practice and reliable communication. Boundary treatments, street planting and driveways are installed to specification with attention to levels, drainage and durability. You’ll receive practical aftercare guidance plus options for maintenance contracts to protect the developer’s reputation. Clients choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent reporting and dependable snagging support at handover.
In the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, access can be tight near busy shopping routes and riverside streets, so we plan deliveries and parking carefully. We also account for variable ground conditions and the need for robust edging, levels and drainage on sloping plots. Where council requirements apply—such as street planting species or visibility splays—we align specifications early. Our approach suits everything from compact apartment courtyards to larger plot front gardens.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by plot size, specification and the number of units. As a guide, front garden soft landscaping may start from £800–£2,500 per plot, while rear gardens with turf, patios and fencing often range £3,000–£12,000+. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per m² and scope, commonly £10,000–£80,000+ for larger schemes. We provide itemised schedules and value-engineering options.
Timescales depend on phasing, access and weather. A single plot front and rear garden can take 3–10 working days, while show home gardens may need 1–2 weeks for higher-detail finishes. Communal landscaping and street planting typically run 2–8+ weeks, often delivered in stages alongside build completion. Lead times for paving, fencing and feature planting can also affect the programme.
Most garden landscaping works are permitted, but certain elements can trigger rules—particularly new or altered driveways, drainage to the highway, boundary heights, and works near protected trees. For developments, conditions attached to planning consent may specify planting, materials or maintenance. We review drawings and conditions, check SuDS/permeable surfacing requirements where relevant, and liaise with your team so the external works remain compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving build-ups, edging, retaining details and boundary structures, subject to correct use and maintenance. Soft landscaping is covered through an establishment period, with clear care guidance and optional maintenance contracts to protect plant health. Any snagging items identified at handover are logged and resolved promptly within agreed timescales.
We tailor specifications to the scheme’s architecture and budget. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, closeboard or slatted fencing, and mixed evergreen/perennial planting for year-round structure. For communal areas, we often use robust shrubs, ornamental grasses, and tree planting with root barriers where needed. We provide samples, propose alternatives, and help balance kerb appeal with long-term maintenance.
