Elephant & Castle’s rapid regeneration has created gardens that often start as compact, unfinished spaces with poor soil and limited drainage. We landscape new plots near Elephant Park and around SE17 with practical layouts, durable surfaces and planting that settles quickly. Whether you need a family-friendly lawn, a low-maintenance courtyard or a polished communal feel, we tailor the build to how you’ll actually use the space. Expect tidy working and a sharp finish that complements modern architecture.
The local mix of modern high-rises, Victorian terraces and new-build apartments means access and levels can vary street by street. In Kennington and Walworth, we regularly see raised patios, awkward corners and overlooked boundaries that need smart screening. New developments often come with thin topsoil, compacted sub-base and drainage that needs improving from day one. Our new build landscaping elephant & castle area service is designed to solve those issues quickly, without compromising on style.
We start with a measured site visit, then produce a clear design and specification covering materials, levels, drainage and planting. Work is scheduled to suit building handovers and snagging, with staged sign-offs so nothing is missed. You’ll get straightforward communication, clean edges, and a finish built for year-round use. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, high-end workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Across the London Borough of Southwark, new-build plots often have compacted ground, shallow topsoil and tight access from shared courtyards. Near Strata Tower and the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre, deliveries and parking can be restricted, so we plan logistics and loading carefully. We set levels precisely to manage surface water, and we choose materials that cope with heavy footfall and balcony overlook. The result is a garden that looks finished, drains properly and stays low-maintenance.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. As a guide, basic turfing and tidy-up for a small new-build garden can start around £1,200–£2,500. A mid-range package with patio, fencing and planting often falls between £4,000–£9,000. Full garden design with drainage upgrades, premium paving and bespoke features can be £10,000–£25,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small new-build gardens are completed in 2–5 working days, especially if it’s turfing, fencing and light planting. Projects including patio installation, pathways and drainage typically take 1–3 weeks depending on curing times and ground conditions. Larger or show home gardens can run 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, level changes, weather, and lead times for bespoke materials or gates.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, turfing, planting and like-for-like fencing, but there are important exceptions. Boundary heights, front garden walls, drainage changes, and works near listed buildings or conservation areas can trigger rules. Some new-build estates also have management-company covenants. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey, check Southwark guidance where relevant, and recommend compliant solutions before work starts.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping, including patio installation, pathways, retaining edges and properly specified drainage. This covers installation defects, not accidental damage or lack of maintenance. Turf and plants are living materials, so we provide aftercare guidance and can offer a settling-in visit to check watering, mowing height and plant establishment. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and clearly.
For modern developments, porcelain paving, sawn sandstone and composite decking are popular for clean lines and low maintenance. We often pair these with slatted screening, closeboard fencing, raised planters and integrated lighting to improve privacy and evening use. Planting schemes commonly include evergreen structure, grasses and pollinator-friendly perennials for year-round interest. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your building style, budget and the amount of sun the garden receives.
