Response within 24 hours
Kennington homeowners often want a garden that looks polished without weekend chores. Whether you’re near The Oval cricket ground or walking distance from Kennington Park, we design spaces that stay neat through every season. Our low-maintenance builds blend practical surfaces with planting that won’t overwhelm the space. Expect clean lines, durable materials and a finish that suits SE11 homes.
The Kennington area includes Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks, each with different garden constraints. Narrow side access, basement lightwells and compact courtyards are common, especially around Oval and Vauxhall. We plan layouts that maximise usable space while keeping maintenance low. From tidy front gardens to shared rear spaces, we tailor materials and planting to the property style.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a fixed-scope proposal. Our team handles ground preparation, drainage, weed control layers and precise installation, so the finish stays stable and easy to manage. You’ll get straightforward care guidance for your new surfaces and planting. Many local clients choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful workmanship and consistent results.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, we often work around controlled parking, tight access and shared boundaries typical of terraces and mansion blocks. Kennington soils can vary, so we prepare sub-bases properly and manage drainage to prevent pooling. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to suit SE11 streets and permit restrictions. The result is a durable garden that looks smart with little effort.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, small courtyard makeovers in SE11 often start around £3,000–£7,000, while medium gardens with composite decking, gravel areas and planting commonly fall between £8,000–£18,000. Larger projects with extensive hard landscaping, automated irrigation and premium finishes can be £20,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks from start on site, depending on demolition, groundworks and the mix of features. A simple artificial grass and gravel scheme may be completed in 3–5 days, while composite decking, edging, lighting prep and irrigation can extend timelines. Access constraints, skip placement, weather and curing times for bases also affect the schedule. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work begins.
Most garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing lawn with artificial grass, adding gravel areas, or installing decking at modest heights. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, boundary walls and drainage changes affecting the public highway. For front gardens, permeable surfacing and runoff are especially important. We’ll flag any permission risks and help you check Lambeth requirements before starting.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues such as poor installation, unstable sub-bases and fixings where applicable. Manufacturer warranties also apply to products like composite decking and artificial grass, subject to their terms. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse or lack of basic care (for example, blocked drainage). You’ll receive warranty details in writing with your project pack.
We tailor the look to your home, from Georgian-style formality to modern courtyard layouts. Popular options include realistic artificial grass, slip-resistant composite decking, gravel with steel or stone edging, evergreen structure planting, and container planting for colour without heavy pruning. Automated irrigation can be zoned for pots and borders, and weed membrane helps keep gravel areas tidy. We’ll show samples and propose a design that suits your budget and lifestyle.
