If your outdoor space needs a fresh layout, stronger planting, or a full refresh, our team can help. We work across KT1 and KT2, including projects near Kingston Bridge and the Bentall Centre, where access and timing matter. From soft landscaping and lawn installation to border planting, we build gardens that feel considered, not crowded. The aim is simple: a garden that’s easy to enjoy and straightforward to maintain.
Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each with different constraints and opportunities. Period gardens often benefit from structured borders, evergreen framework planting and improved lawns, while newer properties may need privacy screening and wind-tolerant planting. We regularly work in Surbiton and New Malden, tailoring designs to plot shape, shade patterns and how you use the space. Planting plans are chosen for longevity, seasonal interest and practical maintenance.
We start with a site visit to understand levels, drainage, light and access, then produce a clear garden design and planting design you can visualise. Our landscape team schedules deliveries, protects existing features, and keeps the site clean and safe throughout. Every job is finished with a handover checklist and optional maintenance plans to keep planting thriving. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, neat workmanship and results that mature beautifully over time.
As landscape gardener contractors in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we plan around local parking restrictions, narrow side access and timed deliveries common near busy routes. Riverside gardens can be breezier and more exposed, so we select robust plants and secure new trees properly. We also factor in soil variation, drainage and shade from mature neighbouring trees. Where needed, we’ll advise on council considerations and keep the paperwork straightforward.

Costs depend on size, access, and the mix of design, planting and lawn work. As a guide, planting and soft landscaping refreshes often start around £1,500–£4,000, while garden renovation projects with new beds, lawn installation and multiple planting zones commonly range £6,000–£20,000+. Larger, design-led gardens with significant prep and specimen trees can exceed this. We provide itemised estimates after a site visit.
A simple planting and border upgrade can take 1–3 days once materials arrive. Lawn installation with proper ground preparation usually takes 2–5 days, depending on area and whether drainage or levelling is required. Full garden renovation projects typically run 1–4 weeks. Timescales vary with access, weather, curing time for soil improvements, and the availability of specific trees and shrubs.
Most garden design, planting, turfing and soft landscaping is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if you’re working near protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders). Some boundary changes and hardstanding can also trigger rules. We’ll flag any likely issues early, help you check council guidance, and recommend compliant options.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed installation elements, covering defects caused by installation rather than normal wear or misuse. Planting is living material, so coverage depends on the specification and aftercare; we’ll explain what’s included for trees, shrubs, turf and soil preparation. We also provide aftercare guidance and optional maintenance plans to keep everything establishing well.
We can create anything from contemporary, low-maintenance schemes to classic cottage-style borders that suit period homes. Popular options include evergreen structure planting, pollinator-friendly perennials, ornamental grasses, pleached screening trees, and shade-tolerant planting for north-facing gardens. For lawns, we’ll advise on premium turf versus seed, and the right soil build-up. We guide you through palettes, heights and seasonal interest to match your lifestyle.
