From quick walks to Brockwell Park to weekend stops at the Herne Hill Sunday market, local life is outdoorsy—so your garden should be ready for paws, play and muddy days. We create pet-first layouts that still feel premium, with secure boundaries, practical surfaces and planting that’s safe for curious noses. Whether you need a dog run, a digging corner or a shaded chill-out spot, we tailor the space to your routine. Expect a garden that’s tidy, resilient and enjoyable for everyone.
Herne Hill’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often come with long, narrow gardens, side returns and shared boundaries that need careful detailing. Period conversions can mean limited storage and tricky access, so we plan materials and deliveries to keep disruption low. We’re used to working around existing patios, mature planting and level changes that are common in SE24 plots. The result is a cohesive design that respects the character of your home while making it safer for pets.
We start with a site visit to understand your pet’s behaviour—runners, diggers, jumpers or sun-seekers—and map out safe zones. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering surfaces, fencing, planting and drainage, plus maintenance guidance to keep everything performing. Our team is based just 15 minutes away, so aftercare is prompt and straightforward. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, robust materials and a finish that stays smart through every season.
Gardens around Herne Hill station often have restricted access and limited parking, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to suit the street. Local clay-heavy soils can compact in winter, so we prioritise drainage, sub-bases and hard-wearing turf choices. We also consider boundary heights, party walls and conservation-area sensitivities where relevant across the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark. Every build is adapted to the property style and the way you actually use the space.

Costs vary with size, access and how many features you want. For many SE24 gardens, a focused upgrade (durable lawn, safe planting and a small dog run) often starts around £2,500–£6,000. A fuller redesign with new paving, drainage improvements, secure fencing and lighting commonly falls between £8,000–£20,000+. We’ll provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit so you can prioritise essentials.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, drainage, fencing and the amount of paving or turf. A simple dog run and lawn replacement may be completed in under a week, while a full redesign with multiple levels, new boundaries and planting can take two to three weeks. Weather, access through period properties, and curing times for bases and mortar can affect the schedule.
In many cases, garden landscaping is permitted development, especially like-for-like paving, turfing and planting. However, rules can apply to new boundary treatments, changes in levels, drainage discharge, and work in conservation areas or on listed buildings—both can occur locally. We check the practical requirements and flag any permissions you may need in the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark. If approvals are required, we’ll help you plan the best route forward.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations, covering issues linked to installation such as sub-base failure, movement or drainage-related defects (subject to fair use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like fencing systems, composite decking or specialist surfaces. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific design and provide care guidance to keep lawns, joints and planting in top condition.
Popular options include hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass, permeable paving for easy cleaning, and secure fencing with pet-safe gaps and lockable gates. For dogs that sprint, a dedicated run with compacted gravel or resin-bound surfacing can be ideal, while diggers benefit from a designated sand/soil pit. Shade can come from pergolas, sail shades or carefully placed trees, and water features can be shallow, recirculating and easy to maintain. We help you choose based on behaviour, budget and the look you want.
