Twickenham gardens often have great potential but limited footprint, especially around TW1 and TW2. Our small garden design and build service turns tight plots into practical, beautiful spaces for relaxing and entertaining. Whether you’re near Twickenham Stadium or walking distance from Marble Hill Park, we’ll design a garden that feels larger and works better day to day. Expect smart space planning, layered planting and lighting that extends your evenings outdoors.
We work across Richmond, St Margarets, Whitton and Teddington, tailoring designs to the property style. Victorian villas and Edwardian houses often have narrow side returns and long, shaded gardens, while 1930s family homes can benefit from clearer zoning and improved drainage. We’re experienced with access constraints, shared boundaries and mature trees common in this part of the borough. The result is a garden that suits your home’s character and your routine.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a concept that prioritises flow, storage and low maintenance. We then refine materials, planting and lighting, and deliver a tidy, well-managed build with clear timelines. You’ll get practical guidance on upkeep, plus workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us for thoughtful design, careful detailing and reliable communication from start to finish.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, gardens often sit on mixed London clay, so we plan levels, drainage and foundations carefully. Many Twickenham streets have restricted parking and narrow access, so we schedule deliveries, protect shared routes and keep disruption down. Where mature trees are nearby, we design around shade and root zones with suitable planting and construction methods. We also consider local conservation sensitivities near historic homes and riverside settings.

Costs vary with access, levels and the finish you choose. As a guide, a simple refresh with new paving, planting and lighting might start around £4,000–£8,000. A full small garden design & build Twickenham area project with bespoke joinery, drainage upgrades and premium materials is often £10,000–£25,000+. We provide an itemised estimate after a site visit and agreed design scope.
Most compact gardens take 1–3 weeks on site once designs and materials are confirmed. A straightforward patio, planting and lighting scheme can be completed in around a week, while projects with level changes, built-in storage, or new fencing typically take longer. Lead time for bespoke joinery, specialist paving or planting availability can add 1–4 weeks before the start date. We confirm a realistic programme in advance.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as patios, planting, and most boundary works, provided they meet height and drainage rules. However, planning may apply in conservation areas, for listed buildings, or where you’re altering levels significantly. There can also be requirements around surface water management and permeable paving. We review your site, flag any risks, and advise if you should check with the council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, walling, steps and built-in structures, when used and maintained as advised. This covers defects arising from installation, not accidental damage or normal wear. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting and composite materials. If an issue arises, we’ll inspect promptly and agree the best remedy.
Popular options include porcelain paving for a clean, low-maintenance finish, clay pavers to suit period homes, and composite decking for warm texture. For planting, we often use container planting, evergreen structure and vertical planting on trellis or living screens. Mirrors can boost light and perceived space, while layered lighting adds depth and safety. We’ll help you choose a palette that fits your budget, maintenance preference and the way you use the garden.
