Kennington gardens often need smart planning to make the most of compact plots and mature surroundings. We create tailored layouts, planting schemes and soft landscaping that look right beside Georgian squares and busy streets near Kennington Park. Whether you’re close to The Oval or walking distance from Kennington tube station, we’ll shape a garden that works beautifully year-round. Expect tidy sites, careful planting and finishes that elevate your home.
Across SE11 you’ll find Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks with shared or courtyard gardens. We’re used to narrow side access, basement flats with lightwells, and long rear gardens that benefit from zoning. Our planting design balances structure and seasonal colour, while lawn installation and border planting keep spaces practical for families and entertaining. If your garden has been neglected, our renovation service can reset it quickly and properly.
We start with a site survey, listen to how you use the space, then produce a clear design and planting plan with options to suit your budget. Work is scheduled in logical stages—ground preparation, soil improvement, planting, and final detailing—so quality doesn’t slip. You’ll get straightforward communication, considerate neighbours-first working, and a written scope before we begin. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, skilled horticulture and a finish that stays sharp.
Kennington’s mix of clay-heavy ground and compact urban gardens benefits from careful drainage and soil conditioning before planting. We plan deliveries and waste removal around parking restrictions and access constraints common near Oval, Vauxhall and Elephant & Castle. For mansion blocks and terraces, we design with privacy, shade and wind in mind, selecting plants that cope with city conditions. Where Lambeth guidance affects trees or boundary work, we check requirements and keep the project compliant.

Costs vary with access, garden size and the level of design. In Kennington, planting design and soft landscaping often starts from £1,500–£4,000 for smaller gardens, while full renovations with lawn installation and extensive border planting commonly fall between £6,000–£20,000+. Ongoing maintenance plans are typically £120–£350 per visit depending on frequency and scope. We provide an itemised estimate after a site survey.
Smaller planting and border refresh projects can take 1–3 days, while a more involved garden renovation typically runs 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access (narrow side passages are common), ground preparation needs, and whether you’re adding a new lawn, edging and soil improvement. Seasonal factors also matter—autumn and spring planting can be quicker than summer work requiring extra irrigation planning. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Most soft landscaping, planting, lawns and general garden renovations are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply to protected trees, work near boundaries, changes affecting drainage, or if your property is listed or within a conservation area. In Lambeth, we’ll flag anything that may need consent and help you gather the right information. We also check practical constraints such as access, waste removal and local restrictions before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed elements, covering defects caused by installation issues under normal use. Planting is living material, so coverage depends on season, aftercare and watering, but we’ll advise on best practice and can include a maintenance plan to protect your investment. If anything is not right on completion, we address snags promptly. Warranty terms are provided in writing with your quote.
We tailor options to your style and light levels, from structured evergreen frameworks to softer, wildlife-friendly borders. Popular choices include drought-tolerant planting for sunny plots, shade planting for courtyard gardens, and robust lawns suited to family use. For renovation projects we can specify soil improvements, edging details, and planting palettes that complement Georgian and Victorian architecture. We guide you through options with samples, plant lists and a clear maintenance outlook.
