West Dulwich is known for leafy streets, excellent parks and period properties, so details matter. We regularly upgrade Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions where access can be tight and boundaries need careful handling. Our designs respect original features while improving drainage, usability and kerb appeal. The result is a garden that feels coherent with the property rather than bolted on.
We start with a site visit, then provide a clear proposal covering materials, build stages and timescales. Your project is managed end-to-end: groundworks, paving, fencing, planting schemes and water features, with quality checks at each stage. We protect existing surfaces, keep the site tidy, and communicate daily so you always know what’s happening. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
As landscaper contractors west dulwich area homeowners rely on, we plan for common Lambeth constraints such as controlled parking, narrow side access and shared boundaries. Soil can vary from heavier clay to freer-draining pockets near green spaces like Belair Park, so we adjust foundations, drainage and planting choices accordingly. We also factor in mature trees and root protection where gardens back onto wooded edges. If permissions or neighbour agreements are needed, we flag them early and keep the build moving.

Costs vary by access, levels and specification. As a guide, small patio refurbishments often start from £2,500–£6,000, while new patios with proper sub-base and drainage are commonly £6,000–£15,000+. Driveways typically range from £7,000–£20,000+ depending on size and surfacing. Full garden transformations including design, planting schemes, fencing and lighting are often £15,000–£50,000+. We provide itemised options to suit your priorities.
Timescales depend on scope and weather. A straightforward fence replacement may take 1–3 days, while a new patio or small hard landscaping project typically takes 1–2 weeks. Driveways are often 1–3 weeks, especially if drainage or kerb details are required. Full garden redesigns with levels, planting and water features commonly run 3–8 weeks. Access, skips/parking, curing times and bespoke materials can extend schedules.
Many garden projects are permitted development, but there are key exceptions. Driveways may require compliant permeable surfacing or drainage to avoid planning issues, and front garden alterations can be more sensitive. If your property is a flat conversion, in a conservation area, or you’re altering boundary walls and gates, extra rules may apply. We’ll advise on what’s likely permitted, check Lambeth guidance, and recommend when to seek formal approval before work starts.
We offer a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects such as unstable paving caused by inadequate sub-base or incorrect laying. Materials are covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable, and we’ll provide documentation for key products. Soft landscaping is living material, so plants are covered subject to season, aftercare and watering. We also offer snagging visits to ensure everything settles as expected.
We design around how you use the space and the style of your home. Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone or limestone for a softer period look, and block paving or resin-bound surfaces for driveways. For fencing, we fit closeboard, slatted contemporary panels, or bespoke timber gates. Planting schemes can be evergreen structure with seasonal colour, wildlife-friendly borders, or shade-tolerant planting. We bring samples and create visuals to help you choose confidently.
