Camberwell homeowners often want outdoor space that suits busy weeks and compact plots. Whether you’re near Camberwell Green or walking distance from Denmark Hill station, we design gardens that stay neat with minimal input. Expect clean lines, durable finishes and planting that doesn’t turn into a weekend chore. We can also integrate automated irrigation to keep everything thriving without constant watering.
The Camberwell area includes Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments, each with different access and layout challenges. For terrace gardens, we’ll maximise usable space with composite decking, gravel areas and container planting. For larger period plots, we balance evergreen structure with practical paths and hard landscaping. If you’re close to SE5 apartment blocks, we can create low-maintenance courtyards and balconies with lightweight planters and tidy edging.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a simple design plan that prioritises longevity and easy care. Our builds include proper ground preparation, weed membrane where needed, and clean detailing around edges, drains and thresholds. You’ll get transparent scheduling, tidy working practices and a finish that’s built to last. Many clients choose us because we deliver consistent results and back our work with a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Southwark, gardens often have clay-heavy soil and shaded boundaries from neighbouring terraces. We adapt with free-draining sub-bases, the right aggregates, and planting that copes with lower light. Access can be tight on Victorian streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. If you’re near King’s College Hospital or SE5 side roads, we’ll schedule works to suit local traffic and site constraints.

Costs depend on size, access and the mix of hard landscaping and planting. As a guide, a small SE5 courtyard refresh with gravel, membrane and containers may start around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size terrace gardens with composite decking and evergreen planting often fall between £8,000–£20,000. Larger transformations including drainage, artificial grass and automated irrigation can be £20,000–£45,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once materials are confirmed and access is agreed. A small gravel-and-planting makeover can be completed in 3–5 days, while composite decking, artificial grass and new edging typically takes 7–12 working days. Larger gardens with significant groundworks, drainage or multiple levels may take 3–6 weeks. Weather, restricted access and bespoke joinery can extend timelines, but we’ll give a clear programme upfront.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, including decking at sensible heights, paths, gravel areas and planting. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary treatments, adding significant raised platforms, or dealing with drainage to the public sewer. Southwark also expects responsible surface-water management, especially for front gardens. We’ll flag any potential permissions, check constraints, and advise on compliant permeable options before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for qualifying installations, covering issues such as failures in construction, fixings and build integrity when used as intended. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we’ll pass these details to you in writing. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse or extreme events, but we’re always available to inspect and advise if concerns arise.
We tailor designs to your lifestyle and the look of your property, from Georgian-style formality to modern minimalism. Popular options include premium artificial grass with realistic pile, slip-resistant composite decking, self-binding gravel or decorative aggregates, and evergreen planting for year-round structure. We can add automated irrigation, discreet lighting-ready cabling routes, and container planting for flexible colour. We’ll guide you on finishes, drainage and maintenance so the final scheme stays easy to manage.
