Life around The Oval cricket ground and Oval tube station moves fast, so your garden should be easy to live with. Our low maintenance gardens oval area service replaces weekend weeding with clean lines, durable surfaces and year-round greenery. Expect practical zones for dining, play or pets, finished to a premium standard. We work across SE11, including Kennington and Vauxhall.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with compact rear gardens, awkward levels and limited storage for tools. We design layouts that maximise usable space while keeping upkeep low, using composite decking, gravel areas and container planting where beds are tight. Evergreen planting adds structure without constant pruning. For shaded courtyards and side returns, we specify plants and materials that cope well with lower light.
We start with a site visit to assess drainage, access and how you use the space, then provide a clear design and itemised quotation. Installation is handled by our in-house team: weed membrane, edging, hard landscaping and irrigation are fitted correctly so the garden stays tidy. We protect neighbouring boundaries, keep the site organised, and communicate timings throughout. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship and a finish that lasts.
In Oval and wider Lambeth, many gardens sit on heavy, compacted soils and have drainage pinch points after building work. We specify permeable gravel areas, correct falls and discreet drainage where needed. Access can be tight near Kennington Park and SE11 terraces, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to reduce disruption. Our designs suit period proportions while keeping maintenance to a minimum.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, small SE11 courtyard upgrades using gravel, weed membrane and container planting often start around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-size gardens with composite decking and evergreen planting typically fall between £8,000–£18,000. Full transformations including artificial grass, hard landscaping and automated irrigation can be £18,000–£35,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A simple refresh with gravel, membrane and new planting can be completed in a few days. Composite decking, artificial grass and irrigation usually require 1–2 weeks, while larger hard landscaping or level changes can push to 3–5 weeks. Timings are affected by access, curing times for bases, drainage works and material lead times.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as decking at appropriate heights, replacing turf with artificial grass, and new planting. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels, building retaining walls, changing boundary treatments, or installing impermeable paving that affects drainage. Conservation areas and listed buildings near Georgian terraces may have extra constraints. We flag likely requirements early and can advise on Lambeth guidance before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, giving you confidence in the structure beneath the finish. This covers issues linked to installation, such as sub-base performance, levels and stability, when used as intended. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like composite decking, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we register these where applicable. We also provide aftercare guidance to keep everything looking sharp.
We tailor the mix to your space and lifestyle. Popular options include premium artificial grass for a consistently tidy lawn, composite decking for a sleek dining area, and permeable gravel zones with strong edging for clean geometry. Evergreen planting schemes use hardy shrubs, grasses and climbers, supported by automated irrigation for reliable establishment. For compact Oval gardens, container planting adds flexibility. We’ll recommend finishes that suit your property style and budget.
