If your garden feels like a weekly chore, our low maintenance solutions make it easy to keep things looking sharp. We design and build practical layouts that suit how you live, whether that’s entertaining or simply having a tidy view from the kitchen. Clients around Streatham Hill station and Christchurch Road often ask for cleaner lines, durable surfaces and planting that won’t turn into a jungle. Expect a garden that looks considered, not “basic”.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with long, narrow plots and awkward levels. We’re used to side returns, limited access and shared boundaries, and we plan materials and deliveries accordingly. For homes near Telford Park or heading towards Tulse Hill, we balance privacy with light using evergreen structure and container planting. The result is a garden that fits period architecture while keeping maintenance low.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a detailed specification so you know exactly what’s included. Our team handles the full build—hard landscaping, weed membrane, gravel, decking, planting and irrigation—then we leave the space clean and ready to use. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (around 10 minutes away), reliable on timings, and meticulous about levels, drainage and finishing details. You’ll also get aftercare guidance to keep everything performing properly.
We factor in Lambeth property access, parking constraints and typical long rear gardens when planning your build. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and levels before installing gravel areas, decking or irrigation. Where gardens sit close to neighbours, we use evergreen screening and tidy boundaries to keep things private and low fuss. We also plan waste removal and deliveries to minimise disruption on busy residential roads in SW2.

Costs depend on size, access and the mix of surfaces and planting. As a guide, a small refresh with weed membrane, gravel and container planting is often £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size gardens with artificial grass and new edging typically fall around £6,000–£12,000. Full transformations with composite decking, hard landscaping and automated irrigation commonly range from £12,000–£30,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once the design and materials are agreed. A simple artificial grass install or gravel area can be completed in 2–4 days, while composite decking, steps and multiple zones usually take 1–3 weeks. Timescales vary with access through the house, ground preparation, drainage corrections and curing time for any concrete or pointing. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Most garden upgrades—artificial grass, decking at sensible heights, gravel areas, planting and irrigation—are usually permitted development. Planning may be needed if you significantly raise ground levels, add tall structures, alter boundary walls, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on permeable surfaces and drainage so the build stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for qualifying installations, covering issues such as sinking due to inadequate base preparation, loose edging, and defects linked to installation. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking boards, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we’ll register these where required. We also give aftercare instructions to protect your surfaces and planting from avoidable damage.
We tailor the design to your lifestyle and the look of your home. Popular options include pet-friendly artificial grass, contemporary composite decking in grey or teak tones, decorative gravel with resin-bonded edging, and evergreen planting schemes using structure plants for year-round interest. Automated irrigation can be zoned for borders and containers. We bring samples, explain pros and cons, and design a layout that balances durability, drainage and style.
