Camberwell’s gardens often need smart zoning to feel spacious and usable. We design and build seating spaces that suit everything from quiet coffee corners to hosting friends after a show near Camberwell College of Arts. Whether you’re close to Camberwell Green or tucked behind SE5 terraces, we create layouts that work with your light, privacy and access. Expect clean levels, durable finishes and a space that feels intentional.
Our team knows the mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments across Camberwell, Denmark Hill and towards Dulwich. That variety calls for tailored solutions: compact courtyard seating, raised platforms for sloping plots, or dining spaces that don’t overwhelm smaller gardens. We also design for family life—safe edges, easy-clean paving and lighting that makes evenings practical. If you’re near Denmark Hill station, we plan deliveries and site set-up to minimise disruption.
We start with a site visit, then produce a clear concept and materials plan before any groundworks begin. Every build is handled by experienced landscapers, with tidy working practices and a schedule you can rely on. Homeowners choose us for honest advice, premium workmanship and finishes that last through London weather. We’re based just 20 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.
Outdoor spaces in the London Borough of Southwark often have tight side access, shared boundaries and limited parking, so we plan logistics carefully. We commonly work around mature trees, older garden walls and mixed ground conditions found in SE5. Where plots slope or drainage is tricky, we set levels properly and specify sub-bases that prevent movement. Our designs respect period façades while still feeling contemporary.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small paved seating area can start from around £2,500–£5,000. Mid-sized patio and dining spaces with lighting typically fall between £6,000–£12,000. Premium builds with pergola seating, built-in benches and a fire pit area often range from £12,000–£25,000+. We’ll itemise options so you can control the budget.
Most projects take 3–10 working days depending on groundworks, levels and the features you choose. A simple patio can be completed in under a week, while pergola seating, built-in benches, electrics for lighting and a fire pit area can push timelines to two weeks or more. Weather, curing times, and restricted access common to terraces in Camberwell can also affect scheduling.
Many garden seating projects are permitted development, particularly like-for-like patios and low structures. However, rules can change if you’re raising ground levels significantly, adding taller shade structures, installing substantial pergolas near boundaries, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag potential issues early, check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Southwark, and help you prepare information if approval is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our outdoor seating builds, covering issues such as installation defects, unstable edging and failures linked to our construction methods. Materials (paving, timber, lighting components) are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which we’ll explain clearly at handover. The warranty depends on normal use and appropriate maintenance, and we’ll give practical care guidance to keep everything looking its best.
We design everything from porcelain or sandstone patio areas to composite decking, rendered seating walls and timber or aluminium pergola seating. Popular additions include built-in benches with hidden storage, fire pit areas in steel or stone, and layered lighting (step lights, uplighters, festoon lines). For sun lounging areas we can add privacy screens and shade structures. We’ll recommend finishes that suit your home’s style and how you use the space.
