From family gardens near Dulwich Park to courtyards around Dulwich Village, we create outdoor spaces that suit how you live. Our team handles garden design, planting design and soft landscaping as one coordinated service. Whether you want crisp borders, a new lawn or a full garden renovation, we plan every detail for a refined finish. We regularly work across SE21, SE22 and SE24.
Dulwich is known for its affluent village atmosphere and outstanding period architecture, and gardens here need a sensitive approach. We’re experienced with Georgian and Victorian houses, plus larger detached properties where scale and sightlines matter. In East Dulwich and West Dulwich, access can be tight and boundaries are often mature, so we design with practical buildability in mind. Planting plans are tailored to light levels, privacy needs and year-round structure.
We start with a site visit, clear brief and measured layout, then produce a design and planting schedule you can approve before work begins. Installation is managed by a dedicated lead, with tidy working practices and staged sign-off so nothing is missed. Every project is built to last, and we back workmanship with a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent scopes and a finish that complements the property.
As landscape gardener contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to Dulwich’s clay-heavy soils and the drainage considerations they bring. We plan access for narrow side returns, protect period features, and schedule deliveries to suit local parking restrictions. Near Dulwich Picture Gallery and Dulwich College, gardens often sit under mature trees, so we specify shade-tolerant planting and improve soil structure. Our approach keeps builds efficient while respecting neighbours and the streetscape.

Costs vary by scope, access and specification. As a guide, planting refreshes and border planting often start around £1,500–£4,000. Lawn installation with proper ground prep is commonly £2,000–£6,000 depending on size and whether turf or seed is chosen. Full garden renovation with design, soft landscaping and extensive planting typically falls between £10,000–£40,000+. We provide an itemised proposal after a site visit.
Timescales depend on garden size, complexity and lead times for plants and materials. A straightforward planting and lawn installation may take 2–5 days once booked in. A medium garden renovation with design, soil improvement and structured planting often takes 2–4 weeks. Larger properties in Dulwich with multiple zones can run 4–8+ weeks. Weather, access constraints and bespoke features can extend programmes.
Most soft landscaping, planting, lawns and typical garden renovations are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply to works affecting trees (especially if protected), boundary treatments, significant level changes, drainage alterations or properties in conservation areas. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on Southwark requirements, including whether a tree check or consent is needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering defects caused by installation rather than normal wear and tear. This includes issues such as poor ground preparation leading to settlement, or edging and constructed details failing due to workmanship. Plants are living items, so their performance depends on weather and aftercare; we’ll advise on watering and can offer maintenance plans to protect your investment and keep the garden thriving.
We tailor options to your property and lifestyle, from structured evergreen frameworks to softer, seasonal planting. Popular choices include shade-tolerant schemes for tree cover, wildlife-friendly borders, and low-maintenance mixes with ornamental grasses and tough perennials. For lawns, we install premium turf for instant impact or seed for longer-term establishment, with soil improvement where needed. We’ll guide you through colour palettes, heights and maintenance levels to reach a cohesive plan.
