Elephant & Castle’s regeneration has created a mix of compact courtyards, podium gardens and traditional rear plots that need smart planning. From homes near Elephant Park to properties by Strata Tower, we design and build outdoor spaces that look sharp and function well year-round. Our team covers hard landscaping, soft landscaping and finishing details such as lighting-ready edging and tidy drainage falls. Expect clean workmanship, clear timelines and a garden you’ll enjoy every day.
Local gardens here range from Victorian terraces in Walworth and Kennington to new-build apartments with balconies and communal areas. We’re used to working with tight access routes, shared entrances and restricted working hours where required. For period homes, we can echo original brickwork and traditional paving patterns; for modern high-rises, we create crisp, low-maintenance layouts with contemporary materials. Planting plans are tailored for shade, wind exposure and privacy needs.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a practical design that balances style, drainage and durability. You’ll receive a written scope of works, material options and a staged programme so you know what happens when. Our builds are completed by experienced trades, with careful protection of pathways and neighbouring boundaries. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, tidy sites and a finish that lasts.
As landscaping contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan around controlled parking zones, delivery access and shared driveways. Many SE1 and SE17 properties have limited storage and narrow side returns, so we schedule materials and waste removal efficiently. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and heavier clay, so we specify the right sub-base depths and drainage solutions. We also consider overlooking from new developments and design for privacy without blocking light.

Costs vary by access, groundworks and finish level. As a guide, small patio builds often start around £2,500–£6,000, while medium garden refurbishments with paving and planting are commonly £8,000–£20,000. Full redesigns with drainage, fencing, decking and lighting-ready groundwork can be £20,000–£50,000+. We itemise options so you can scale the specification to suit your budget.
Typical timescales range from 2–5 days for a straightforward patio or fencing run, to 2–4 weeks for a full garden transformation. Larger projects with driveways, retaining work, drainage and multiple trades can take 4–8 weeks. Timing depends on access, weather, curing times, material lead times and whether we’re working through shared entrances or restricted hours in apartment developments.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, including patios, paths, fences within height limits and typical planting schemes. Driveways may need extra care where drainage is involved, as permeable surfacing or suitable run-off solutions are often required. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or part of a managed development, additional permissions may apply. We flag likely requirements early and can help you check Southwark guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping, such as patios, paving, retaining edges, decking structures and fencing installations, when built to our specification. It covers defects arising from installation rather than misuse, impact damage or third-party alterations. We also use quality materials from trusted suppliers, many of which include manufacturer guarantees. Aftercare advice is included to help your garden mature well.
We offer full garden design with options to suit both modern and period properties. Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone for warmer tones, composite or hardwood decking, slatted screening, and low-maintenance planting with evergreen structure. For features, we can add raised planters, integrated seating and compact water features. We’ll guide you on slip resistance, maintenance, colour matching and how each option performs in shaded or windy plots.
