Response within 24 hours
Peckham’s busy households want gardens that look great without constant weekend work. We design low-upkeep spaces that suit everything from family gardens near Peckham Rye Park to compact courtyards by Queen’s Road. Expect practical layouts, durable materials and planting that holds its shape through the seasons. The result is a garden that’s tidy, usable and easy to live with.
In the SE15 postcode you’ll find Victorian terraces with long, narrow plots, Georgian houses with formal proportions, and converted warehouses with paved outdoor areas. We tailor low maintenance gardens Peckham area homeowners ask for—making the most of awkward levels, shared boundaries and limited storage. Where space is tight, we use container planting, slimline gravel zones and evergreen structure to keep things crisp. For larger plots, we add hard landscaping and zoned planting for year-round order.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a fixed, itemised quotation. Our team installs weed membrane, edging, drainage and finishes properly so the garden stays low effort, not just low cost. You’ll get straightforward aftercare guidance and honest advice on what will (and won’t) reduce maintenance. Local homeowners choose us for punctual scheduling, clean working practices and consistent quality.
Gardens across the London Borough of Southwark often have clay-heavy soils and shaded boundaries, so we specify plants and drainage that cope. Access can be tight behind terraces around Nunhead and Camberwell, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and sequencing to minimise disruption. We also consider parking restrictions and neighbour proximity when scheduling noisy works. Every build is adapted to the property style and how you actually use the space.

Costs depend on size, access and the mix of finishes. As a guide, small SE15 courtyards with weed membrane, gravel and container planting often start from £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size terrace gardens with artificial grass and new edging are commonly £6,000–£12,000. Larger projects with composite decking, hard landscaping and automated irrigation can be £12,000–£25,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on groundwork and the number of features. A simple refresh (membrane, gravel, a few planters) can be completed in 2–4 days. Adding composite decking, levels, drainage or irrigation usually extends the programme to 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through the house, waste removal, curing time for bases, and weather during groundwork.
Most garden upgrades—such as decking at sensible heights, patios, gravel areas, artificial grass and planting—are usually permitted development. Permission may be needed if you significantly raise ground levels, build high retaining walls, add large structures, or your home is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can help you check Southwark guidance before work starts, so you avoid delays or compliance problems.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality on key elements such as groundwork preparation, edging, laying and fixings. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many products, including composite decking and some artificial grass ranges, and we’ll provide the relevant paperwork. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable care, and it doesn’t cover accidental damage or changes made by others after completion.
We offer a wide choice to match Peckham’s mix of terraces and warehouse conversions: premium artificial grass, slip-resistant composite decking in modern tones, gravel areas with clean metal edging, and structured evergreen planting for year-round form. Automated irrigation can be added for borders and containers, and we can integrate hard landscaping such as steps, seating and lighting-ready conduit. We’ll recommend options based on sun, drainage, budget and how you want to use the space.
