Elephant & Castle homeowners are upgrading outdoor space alongside the area’s rapid regeneration, and we’re here to make it happen. Whether you’re near Elephant Park or the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre, we create gardens that suit modern living and busy schedules. Our team delivers garden design, patios, driveways, fencing, planting schemes and water features with a clean, professional finish. We work across SE1 and SE17 with careful planning and minimal disruption.
Local properties range from Victorian terraces in Kennington to new-build apartments around Walworth and Newington, each with different access and layout challenges. Courtyard gardens, roof terraces and compact plots need smart zoning, good drainage and planting that thrives in urban conditions. We balance hard landscaping structure with soft landscaping to soften boundaries and add privacy. If you want low-maintenance, we can specify durable paving, evergreen structure and irrigation-friendly planting.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design brief, then provide an itemised quote and programme. You’ll get guidance on materials, levels, drainage and lighting-ready layouts before any ground is broken. Our builds are delivered by experienced crews with tidy working practices, and we keep you updated throughout. Homeowners choose us for consistent quality, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Access can be tight around Strata Tower and busy routes, so we plan deliveries and loading carefully. Many gardens here have made-up ground, old paving or level changes, so we prioritise groundworks, falls and drainage to prevent pooling. Where parking is controlled, we organise permits and time slots to keep the job moving. Our approach suits everything from terrace gardens in Borough to balconies and communal spaces in newer developments.

Costs vary by access, demolition needs and specification. As a guide, small patio builds often start around £1,800–£4,000, while larger patios with steps, drainage and premium paving can be £6,000–£15,000+. Driveways commonly range from £4,500–£12,000+, and full garden transformations (hard and soft landscaping) are often £10,000–£35,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Timescales depend on scope and access. A straightforward patio or fencing job typically takes 2–5 days, while a driveway is often 1–2 weeks. Full garden redesigns with drainage, retaining work, planting and water features commonly run 2–6 weeks. Lead times can be affected by material availability, council parking arrangements, weather and whether groundwork reveals hidden issues such as old foundations or poor sub-base.
Most garden landscaping, patios and fencing are permitted development, but there are exceptions. Planning may be needed for certain boundary heights, works to listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. Driveways usually don’t need permission if you use permeable surfacing or provide suitable drainage, but rules can apply where runoff reaches the highway. We’ll flag likely requirements, recommend compliant materials and help you check Southwark guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, covering issues arising from installation faults such as unstable paving, failed pointing or poor levels (subject to normal use). Manufacturer warranties apply to many products we install, including paving and fencing components. Soft landscaping is living material, so establishment depends on aftercare; we give clear maintenance advice and can provide follow-up visits to keep planting on track.
We offer a wide range of finishes to suit modern developments and period homes. Popular choices include porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, resin-bound surfacing, composite or timber decking, and contemporary slatted fencing. For planting, we design with evergreen structure, grasses, pollinator-friendly perennials and shade-tolerant options for enclosed plots. We’ll help you choose based on budget, maintenance, light levels and the look you want to achieve.
