If you’re near Royal Arsenal or commuting via Woolwich Town Centre, a garden that looks great without constant upkeep makes life easier. We design and build practical outdoor spaces using artificial grass, gravel areas and robust hard landscaping. Evergreen planting keeps structure through winter, while container planting adds colour where space is tight. Every layout is planned for easy cleaning, simple access and long-term durability.
Woolwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments, often with compact courtyards, balconies or long narrow plots. We’re used to working with restricted access, shared pathways and tight boundaries, especially across SE18 and nearby Charlton. Regeneration has brought contemporary outdoor styles, but many homes still need solutions that respect period features. Our designs balance clean lines with planting that won’t outgrow the space.
We start with a site survey, then produce a clear, itemised proposal covering materials, drainage and maintenance expectations. Our team installs weed membrane, edging and sub-bases properly so surfaces stay level and weeds are suppressed. Automated irrigation can be added for consistent watering with minimal input. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Across Woolwich, Plumstead and Thamesmead we often find mixed ground conditions and pockets of poor drainage, so we specify the right sub-base and falls from day one. Parking and access can be challenging around the Royal Arsenal and SE18 streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design with smaller courtyards and roof-level spaces in mind, using lightweight containers and efficient layouts. Where council requirements apply, we help you stay compliant from the outset.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, small courtyard makeovers with gravel, weed membrane and container planting often start around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size gardens with composite decking or artificial grass commonly fall between £7,000–£15,000. Larger projects including hard landscaping, drainage adjustments and automated irrigation can be £15,000–£30,000+. A site visit lets us price accurately for your SE18 property.
Most projects take 3–10 working days depending on the amount of groundwork and hard landscaping. A small artificial grass area or gravel section can be completed in 1–3 days, while composite decking, edging and planting typically adds time. If we’re improving drainage, building steps or retaining edges, allow 1–3 weeks. Access constraints around flats or tight terrace gardens in Woolwich can also affect programme and delivery timing.
Most garden upgrades—such as artificial grass, decking at ground level, gravel areas and planting—are usually permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, adding raised platforms, building walls, or working on listed buildings (which can apply around historic sites). Drainage and permeable surface requirements may also be relevant. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check Royal Borough of Greenwich guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues such as settlement caused by improper sub-base preparation, edging failures, and installation defects. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many materials, including composite decking and certain artificial grass products, and we pass these on in writing. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse or lack of basic care, but we’ll explain simple maintenance steps at handover.
We tailor each design to how you use the space. Popular options include premium artificial grass, composite decking in grey or warm timber tones, gravel areas with crisp metal edging, and evergreen planting for year-round structure. We can add automated irrigation for planters and borders, plus hard landscaping such as patios, paths and raised beds with weed membrane beneath. We’ll bring samples, discuss sunlight and privacy, then recommend a layout that suits your home and budget.
