Response within 24 hours
Kingston upon Thames homeowners often want a garden that stays smart between busy weeks, weekends away and school runs. We create practical, premium outdoor spaces that suit the area’s riverside lifestyle and excellent shopping near the Bentall Centre. Whether you’re in Surbiton or close to Kingston Bridge, we’ll design a layout that looks crisp in every season. Expect clean lines, durable materials and planting that doesn’t demand constant attention.
Across KT1 and KT2 we work on everything from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to modern waterfront apartments with terraces. Period gardens can be long and narrow, while newer plots may be compact and overlooked—either way, low upkeep is achievable with the right structure. Evergreen planting, gravel areas and container schemes keep things tidy without sacrificing colour and texture. We tailor the design so it complements the architecture and the way you use the space.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a design that prioritises drainage, access and easy maintenance. We then handle the full build: hard landscaping, weed membrane installation, planting and finishing details, with tidy workmanship throughout. You’ll get straightforward guidance on what will genuinely reduce upkeep, not just what looks good on day one. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent specifications and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in Kingston often need careful drainage planning due to heavy clay pockets and shaded boundaries, especially near older properties. Access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also design with local property styles in mind—formal lines for period homes, clean contemporary finishes for newer apartments. If any works touch boundaries, trees or front gardens, we’ll advise on council considerations before you commit.

Costs vary by size, access and the mix of materials. As a guide, a small refresh with gravel areas, weed membrane and container planting may start from £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size upgrades including artificial grass and new edging commonly fall around £7,000–£15,000. Full transformations with composite decking, hard landscaping and automated irrigation are often £15,000–£35,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised specification after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A small garden with artificial grass and gravel can be completed in 3–6 working days, while larger builds with decking, paving, planting and irrigation typically run 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on groundworks, drainage changes, access for machinery, and curing time for concrete bases. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts.
Many rear-garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing lawns, adding decking within limits, installing gravel and planting. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, the property is listed, or you’re altering levels, boundary walls or drainage to the public highway. Front garden surfacing may need permeable solutions. We’ll flag any likely constraints and help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before proceeding.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations, covering issues linked to our build such as laying, levels and fixings when maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking boards, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we’ll provide the paperwork. Natural materials and plants are living products, so we’ll also explain realistic expectations and aftercare to keep everything looking its best.
Popular options include premium artificial grass for a tidy lawn look, composite decking for warm, slip-resistant seating zones, and gravel areas with strong edging for clean definition. We often combine evergreen planting with container planting to keep colour and structure year-round, plus automated irrigation to reduce watering chores. If you want a more architectural finish, we can add hard landscaping features such as steps, raised beds and porcelain paving. We’ll recommend combinations that suit your budget and lifestyle.
