Compact gardens around Streatham Hill station and Christchurch Road often have huge potential, but need sharper planning. Our designs focus on clear circulation, comfortable seating and planting that thrives in limited space. We combine vertical planting, container schemes and discreet lighting to extend usability into the evening. The result is a garden that looks larger, functions better and stays easy to care for.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions can come with narrow side returns, overlooked boundaries and tricky access. We tailor layouts to typical rear-garden proportions and make privacy feel natural with layered planting and screens. For raised flats and conversions, we also create robust container and trellis solutions that suit balconies and paved courtyards. If you’re comparing small garden design & build Streatham Hill area options, our approach is built around real local property constraints.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and a practical concept plan that prioritises how you want to use the space. Once agreed, our in-house team handles the full build—groundworks, paving, joinery, planting and electrics for lighting—keeping disruption controlled. You’ll get clear specifications, tidy working practices and a finish designed for low maintenance. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, many gardens have clay-heavy soils and shaded boundaries from neighbouring extensions, so we specify drainage, soil improvement and shade-tolerant planting where needed. Access can be tight behind terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. We also consider parking and local restrictions near SW2 streets, especially for skips and materials drops. Our detailing suits period homes while keeping maintenance realistic for busy households.

Costs vary with size, access and specification, but most small garden design and build projects in Streatham Hill fall between £6,000–£18,000. A simple refresh with paving repairs, container planting and lighting can start around £4,000–£8,000. More bespoke builds with joinery, built-in storage, drainage upgrades and premium paving can reach £20,000+. We provide a clear, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Typical build time is 1–3 weeks for a small garden, depending on complexity and access. A straightforward layout with new paving, planting and lighting is often completed in 5–10 working days. Joinery, built-in storage, drainage works or multiple levels can extend the programme to 3–4 weeks. Design and approvals usually take 1–3 weeks beforehand, depending on how quickly choices are confirmed.
Most rear-garden landscaping is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, especially like-for-like paving, planting, fences within height limits and garden lighting. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, new raised platforms, significant boundary changes or drainage that affects public sewers. We check the relevant Lambeth guidance and flag anything that may need consent. If required, we can help you prepare the information for an application.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural elements we install, such as paving bases, retaining details and built joinery (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting, porcelain paving and composite materials, and we pass these on to you. We also offer a practical aftercare handover, including maintenance guidance for planting and finishes to keep your garden performing well.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean lines, timber or composite decking for warmth, and built-in bench seating with hidden storage. For planting, we often use structured evergreens, climbers on trellis, and container planting to control size and maintenance. Mirrors can be used carefully to bounce light and create depth, while layered lighting adds evening ambience. We’ll guide you through samples and layout options to suit your home and budget, including small garden design & build in London Borough of Lambeth requirements.
