From Georgian terraces near The Oval cricket ground to quieter streets by Kennington Park, gardens in SE11 need thoughtful planning and skilled hands. Our team delivers garden design, planting design and soft landscaping that looks established, not rushed. Whether you want a smarter front garden or a full back-garden refresh, we build spaces that work for everyday living. We also create tidy, low-maintenance borders that still feel lush and seasonal.
Oval’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often comes with compact plots, shared boundaries and mature trees. We’re used to working with long, narrow gardens, shaded corners and high-walled courtyards where planting choices matter. If you’re in Kennington, Vauxhall or Stockwell, we can tailor lawn installation and border planting to light levels and usage. The result is a garden that complements the architecture and stays practical year-round.
We start with a site visit, clear brief and measured layout, then propose a planting plan and phased schedule if needed. You’ll get transparent options, tidy workmanship and a dedicated point of contact from start to finish. Our maintenance plans keep new planting thriving, with seasonal visits and proactive adjustments. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, careful protection of paving and interiors, and consistent aftercare.
As landscape gardener contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we plan around controlled parking zones, narrow access routes and timed deliveries near Oval tube station. Many properties have limited side access, so we organise materials and waste removal to minimise disruption. Soil can vary from compacted ground in renovated plots to heavier clay pockets, affecting drainage and lawn performance. We adapt groundworks, planting palettes and maintenance schedules to suit each site.

Costs depend on scope, access and the level of design. In Oval, planting and soft landscaping refreshes often start around £1,500–£4,000, while garden renovations with new lawns, borders, trees and improved levels commonly fall in the £6,000–£20,000+ range. A detailed planting design can be priced separately, typically £400–£1,500. We provide itemised options after a site visit.
Small soft landscaping jobs such as border planting or a lawn installation can take 1–3 days. A garden renovation with design, soil improvement, planting, and finishing details typically takes 1–3 weeks, depending on size and access. Timescales can change due to delivery constraints, weather, and whether we’re working around existing structures or mature trees. We’ll confirm a schedule before work begins.
Most garden improvements—planting, lawns, soft landscaping and general renovation—are usually permitted development. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if work affects protected trees (TPOs) or shared boundaries. We’ll flag likely permissions during the survey and can help you check Lambeth requirements before committing. For anything uncertain, we recommend written confirmation from the council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship elements, covering installation standards and structural integrity where applicable. This includes issues arising from improper installation, subject to correct use and normal wear. Living materials such as plants are naturally variable, but we specify suitable stock, planting methods and aftercare to maximise success. Maintenance plans are available to support establishment and keep the garden performing as intended.
We tailor garden design and planting design to your style and the site conditions. Popular options in Oval include evergreen structure with seasonal perennials, wildlife-friendly borders, shade-tolerant planting for walled gardens, and robust lawns for family use. For soft landscaping, we can specify premium topsoil, mulches and edging details to sharpen lines. We’ll guide you through choices using samples, mood boards and a clear planting palette.
