Camberwell gardens can be compact, shaded and busy to access, so planting and lawn choices need to be practical as well as beautiful. We create balanced schemes with lawn installation, border planting, shrubs, hedging and trees that suit how you actually use the space. Whether you’re near Camberwell Green or walking distance from Denmark Hill station, we’ll plan the work around access, deliveries and neighbours. We cover SE5 and nearby streets with tidy, considerate installation.
Local homes range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with courtyards and roof-level planting. That mix calls for adaptable soft landscaping in the Camberwell area—sometimes it’s a formal front garden with clipped hedging, other times a low-maintenance rear plot with layered shrubs and mulched beds. We design planting to fit light levels, privacy needs and pet- or child-friendly use. If your garden sits close to King’s College Hospital or the Camberwell College of Arts, we’re used to tight time windows and careful logistics.
We start with a site visit, soil assessment and a clear planting plan, then schedule installation in sensible phases. Topsoil improvement, mulching and irrigation are built in so plants establish quickly and lawns stay consistent through dry spells. You’ll get straightforward guidance on aftercare, plus workmanship you can rely on from a team based just 20 minutes away. Homeowners choose us for clean finishes, strong plant sourcing and a garden that matures well over time.
Across the London Borough of Southwark, gardens often have variable soil and shaded boundaries from mature trees and neighbouring extensions. We test and amend ground with topsoil and mulch, then select plants that cope with partial shade and urban conditions. Access can be narrow on terrace streets, so we plan deliveries, protect hallways, and keep waste removal efficient. Parking restrictions are common around SE5; we organise loading and timings to minimise disruption.

Costs vary with access, soil condition and planting density. As a guide, lawn installation is often £25–£45 per m² supplied and laid, depending on preparation. Border planting with shrubs and perennials commonly ranges from £60–£150 per m², while hedging is typically £35–£120 per linear metre depending on size and species. Tree planting can be £250–£1,500+ each including staking and aftercare.
Most Camberwell soft landscaping projects take 1–5 days, with larger gardens running 1–2 weeks. A straightforward lawn and a few borders can be completed in a couple of days, while full planting schemes with soil improvement, hedging, trees and irrigation take longer. Timescales depend on site access, how much excavation and topsoil is needed, and plant availability. Weather can also affect turf laying and planting.
Soft landscaping in London Borough of Southwark is usually permitted, especially planting, turfing, mulching and adding irrigation. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if you’re working around protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders). Front garden changes can also have drainage implications. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and help you check any permissions before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements where applicable, covering issues caused by installation rather than wear and tear. For planting, we use reputable nurseries and install to best practice (staking, mulching and correct soil preparation) to maximise establishment. Plant performance depends on aftercare and weather, so we’ll give clear watering and maintenance guidance. Irrigation components are covered by manufacturer warranties as well.
We tailor schemes to your style and maintenance level. Popular options include durable turf or premium seed lawns, evergreen structure with yew or laurel hedging, and mixed borders using grasses, perennials and flowering shrubs. For trees, we often specify multi-stems for screening or smaller ornamentals for tight plots. Topsoil grades, compost blends and mulch types are chosen to suit your soil and planting plan. We’ll show samples and propose options that fit your light, space and budget.
