Clapham gardens need smart planning to balance busy lifestyles with outdoor space that feels calm and usable. We design and build everything from contemporary courtyards to family gardens, with careful planting and crisp lawn installation. Whether you’re near Clapham Common or based around Clapham Old Town, we tailor layouts, levels and planting to suit the way you live. Expect clear communication, neat working practices and results that look right all year.
The Clapham mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments often brings challenges like narrow side access, overlooked boundaries and shaded corners. Our planting design focuses on structure, privacy and seasonal interest, not just quick colour. For period properties, we can restore traditional borders and paths; for newer homes, we create clean lines and low-maintenance schemes. If you’re in Clapham North, Clapham South or Clapham Park, we’ll match the garden style to the property and street character.
We start with a site visit, then provide a clear proposal covering garden design, soft landscaping and a practical planting plan. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with materials sourced for quality and longevity. Every project is finished with a handover checklist and aftercare advice, plus optional maintenance plans to keep lawns, borders and shrubs thriving. Local homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, tidy sites and a premium finish that lasts.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth means we plan for permit parking, loading restrictions and tight access common on residential streets. Soil can vary from compacted ground in renovated plots to lighter, free-draining beds, so we adjust soil improvement and irrigation advice accordingly. We also design for shade cast by terraces and mature trees near Clapham Common. If you’re close to Clapham Junction station, we can schedule deliveries to reduce disruption.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. As a guide, planting design and border planting often starts from a few hundred pounds, while soft landscaping and lawn installation for a typical rear garden commonly falls in the £3,000–£12,000 range. Full garden renovation with new layout, soil improvement, trees/shrubs and premium finishes can be £12,000–£35,000+. We provide itemised proposals after a site visit in SW4 or SW11.
Small planting and lawn jobs can take 1–3 days, depending on ground preparation. Medium renovations (new beds, lawn, edging, soil improvement and planting) typically run 1–2 weeks. Larger redesigns with multiple areas, levels or extensive planting can take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access in Clapham terraces, waste removal, weather, and plant availability. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Most garden works such as planting, turfing, borders and general soft landscaping are usually permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply for works affecting protected trees, boundary changes, significant level alterations, or properties in conservation areas around Clapham Old Town. If your garden is subject to leasehold restrictions (common in modern apartments), approvals may also be required. We flag likely permissions early and can help you check with the relevant council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our landscaping workmanship, covering issues arising from installation defects under normal use. This includes items such as ground preparation, edging and lawn installation methods, where applicable to the agreed scope. Plants are living materials, so plant guarantees depend on season, aftercare and watering; we’ll explain what’s covered and how to maximise establishment. Maintenance plans are available to protect your investment long-term.
We offer garden design styles ranging from classic townhouse planting to modern, low-maintenance layouts. Popular options include evergreen structure planting, pollinator-friendly borders, shade-tolerant schemes for terrace gardens, and family-friendly lawns with robust turf. For soft landscaping, we can specify quality topsoil, mulches and edging details to sharpen lines and reduce weeding. We’ll recommend plant palettes and finishes based on light, privacy needs and how much maintenance you want.
