Herne Hill homeowners often want gardens that feel calm, green and practical year-round. Whether you’re near Brockwell Park or a short walk from Herne Hill station, we plan and build spaces that work for entertaining, play and low-maintenance living. Our team handles everything from garden design and planting design to soft landscaping and lawn installation. Expect clean lines, healthy planting and a finish that complements your home.
SE24 is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and smart period conversions, and each brings its own garden challenges. Narrow side access, shaded rear plots and mature boundaries are common around Dulwich, Brixton and Denmark Hill. We design borders and layouts that cope with light levels and create privacy without blocking it. Plant palettes are tailored to your soil, aspect and the look of your property.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a straightforward proposal, then schedule works to minimise disruption. You’ll get a defined planting plan, transparent materials list and tidy, respectful contractors on site. We use proven methods for soil preparation, turf establishment and long-term plant health. Many clients choose our maintenance plans so the garden continues to improve after handover.
We regularly work as landscape gardener contractors in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, where access and parking can affect logistics and costs. Around Herne Hill Velodrome and the Sunday market routes, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low. Many gardens sit behind terraced houses with narrow passages, so we select equipment and materials that can be carried through safely. We also consider drainage and shade from mature trees common near Brockwell Park.

Costs vary by access, size and specification. In SE24, a planting refresh and border improvements often start around £1,200–£3,500. New lawn installation (turf) commonly falls in the £900–£2,500 range depending on ground preparation. A fuller soft-landscaping renovation with new beds, trees/shrubs and a design package is typically £4,000–£15,000+. We’ll itemise options so you can scale the brief.
Smaller jobs such as border planting or lawn replacement usually take 1–3 days on site. A garden renovation with multiple planting zones and soil improvement often takes 1–3 weeks, depending on weather and access through terraced properties. Design and sourcing can add 1–3 weeks before the start date. Timescales are influenced by drainage works, tree/shrub availability and whether you choose phased planting.
Most soft landscaping, planting, lawns and general garden renovation works are permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, there are exceptions: protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders), conservation areas, boundary changes, significant level alterations, and some drainage outfalls. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Lambeth or Southwark requirements. If permissions are needed, we’ll guide you on the right route before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering defects caused by installation rather than wear and tear. Planting is handled with practical aftercare guidance, and we’ll advise on watering and establishment to protect new lawns, shrubs and trees. If an issue arises, we respond quickly and document remedial steps. Ongoing maintenance plans can also help keep everything performing as intended.
We offer tailored garden design and planting design, from modern evergreen structure to softer cottage-style borders that suit Victorian and Edwardian homes. Popular choices include mixed perennial borders, shade-tolerant planting for north-facing plots, specimen shrubs, small ornamental trees, and robust lawn solutions for family use. We’ll recommend plants for your light levels and soil, and match colours and forms to your preferred look and maintenance level.
