New homes around SE24 often hand over an outdoor space that’s levelled, compacted and short on character. We transform those plots into practical, good-looking gardens that suit everyday life—whether you’re near Brockwell Park or closer to Herne Hill station. Expect crisp edges, smart pathways, and planting that softens new boundaries. We also create show home gardens that help developers sell the lifestyle, not just the square footage.
Herne Hill’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions means access can be tight and gardens can be long and narrow. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working areas to minimise disruption to neighbours and shared side returns. If your new build sits alongside older stock in Dulwich, Brixton or Tulse Hill, we design so the garden feels established rather than ‘just built’. The result is a layout that fits the property and adds value from day one.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear design plan, then we schedule the build in logical stages: drainage first, hard landscaping next, and planting and turf last. You’ll get a written scope, material options, and straightforward timelines, with tidy handover and aftercare advice. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication and consistent workmanship. We’re only 15 minutes away, so follow-up visits are easy when you need them.
New build landscaping herne hill area often involves compacted subsoil and variable drainage, especially after construction traffic. We assess falls, install soakaways or channel drains where needed, and choose turf/planting that establishes reliably. In the new build landscaping in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, we also factor in parking restrictions, delivery slots and waste disposal rules. Where access is limited, we use smaller machinery and phased material drops to keep projects moving.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide in SE24, a simple new-build finish (ground prep, turf and basic planting) often starts around £2,500–£6,000. Adding a patio and pathways commonly brings projects into the £7,000–£15,000 range. Full garden design with fencing, drainage solutions and premium paving can be £15,000–£35,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most gardens take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on what’s included. Turfing and planting alone can be completed in a few days once the ground is prepared, while patios, pathways, fencing and drainage typically extend the programme. Timescales are affected by curing time for bases, weather, access for deliveries, and whether levels need correcting. We agree a staged schedule so you know what happens each week.
Most rear-garden works—turfing, planting, patios, paths and standard fencing—are usually permitted development. However, rules can change with front gardens, boundary heights, listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering drainage to the public sewer. We’ll flag likely constraints and help you check London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark guidance where relevant. If permissions or party wall notices are needed, we’ll advise before work starts.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on hard landscaping installations such as patios, pathways and constructed bases, provided the area is used normally and not altered by others. We also supply manufacturer guarantees on paving and fencing materials where applicable. Living elements like turf and plants are covered for establishment issues when installed in season and cared for as advised. You’ll receive aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
Homeowners often choose porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer period feel, or gravel and stepping-stone pathways for quick drainage. For boundaries, closeboard fencing suits privacy, while slatted screens add a modern look. Planting schemes commonly combine evergreen structure with pollinator-friendly perennials and climbers to soften new fences. We’ll present options that match your home’s style, budget and light levels, then source materials that perform well long-term.
