From Lordship Lane courtyards to family gardens near Dulwich Park, we create outdoor spaces that suit how you live. Our Landscape Gardener Contractors service covers garden design, planting design, soft landscaping, lawns and ongoing care. Whether you want a cleaner layout, more colour through the seasons, or a full refresh, we tailor every detail to your plot and light levels. We work across SE22 and nearby streets around Peckham Rye.
East Dulwich’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often come with long, narrow gardens, shaded boundaries and tricky access. We plan planting and lawn installation to cope with mixed sun, established trees and compact soils. If you’re extending or reworking levels, we can renovate borders and improve structure without losing character. The result is a garden that complements period architecture and stays practical for busy households.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a design conversation, then provide a clear scope and staged programme. Our team handles border planting, tree & shrub planting and soft landscaping with tidy workmanship and considerate neighbour management. Maintenance plans are available to keep lawns, beds and planting performing year-round. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium materials and a finish that lasts.
We’re on-site in around 20 minutes and know the practicalities of working in the London Borough of Southwark. Many SE22 streets have limited parking and narrow side returns, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and access carefully. East Dulwich gardens can have compacted ground and mature trees, which affects drainage and planting choices. We adapt soil preparation, species selection and lawn build-ups to suit each plot.

Costs vary by access, garden size and how much design and groundworks are needed. As a guide in SE22, planting and soft landscaping refreshes often start from £1,500–£4,000. Lawn installation typically ranges £900–£2,500 depending on preparation and turf quality. Full garden renovation with design, new beds and extensive planting commonly falls between £6,000–£20,000+. We’ll confirm a tailored range after a site visit.
Small planting and border upgrades can take 1–3 days, while lawn installation is usually 2–5 days including preparation. A medium garden renovation often runs 1–3 weeks, depending on clearance, soil improvement and the amount of planting. Timescales are influenced by access through period terraces, waste removal logistics, weather, and lead times for specific trees or shrubs. We provide a staged programme so you know what happens when.
Most soft landscaping, planting, turfing and general garden renovation works are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels significantly, adding structures, or working near protected trees. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Southwark requirements, including whether a Tree Preservation Order may affect pruning or removal.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for qualifying installed elements, giving you confidence that the build quality will stand up over time. This covers issues arising from installation standards, such as failures caused by incorrect preparation or fixing methods. Planting is living material, so guarantees depend on season, aftercare and watering; we’ll explain what’s covered and how to protect it. Maintenance plans are available to keep everything thriving.
For SE22 period gardens, homeowners often choose structured borders with layered shrubs, ornamental grasses and long-flowering perennials, plus small trees for height and privacy. Shade-tolerant planting works well where boundaries and neighbouring trees reduce light. For lawns, we can install hard-wearing family turf or finer ornamental mixes depending on use. We’ll guide you on colour palettes, seasonal interest and maintenance levels, then produce a planting plan that fits your lifestyle.
