Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates often means tight access, shared boundaries and varied site levels. We’re used to working in Lambeth settings where outdoor spaces must serve multiple age groups and community activities. From compact courtyards near Oval to larger plots closer to Clapham, we tailor surfacing, drainage and planting to the site. Our designs also reflect Stockwell’s diverse community, creating spaces that feel welcoming and practical.
We start with a site survey, safeguarding-led risk review and a clear concept plan, then refine details with you before scheduling works. You’ll get transparent specifications for safe surfacing, sports surfaces and adventure play elements, plus a tidy, well-managed build programme. We use quality materials, install to manufacturer guidance, and finish with a handover pack for maintenance. Local clients choose us for clear communication, dependable timelines and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We understand the practicalities of working in the London Borough of Lambeth, including access restrictions, neighbour considerations and waste removal. Around Stockwell Park and nearby streets, parking and deliveries can be tight, so we plan logistics to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, so we assess drainage and sub-bases carefully before installing safe surfacing or sports surfaces. Designs are adapted for compact urban sites as well as larger open areas.

We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on qualifying installations, covering issues caused by faulty installation such as lifting edges, unstable sub-bases or poor finishing. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to specific products like surfacing systems, timber, fixtures and play equipment, and we supply the relevant documentation at handover. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, vandalism or lack of routine maintenance, but we’ll advise on care to protect your investment.
