Greenwich gardens deserve planting that complements the area’s historic character and open green spaces such as Greenwich Park. We deliver complete soft landscaping—lawn installation, border planting, trees, shrubs, hedging, topsoil and mulching—tailored to your plot. Whether you’re near Maze Hill or closer to Deptford, we plan for light, privacy and year-round colour. The result is a garden that looks intentional, not improvised.
Across SE10 you’ll find everything from Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas to modern waterfront apartments with terraces and podium gardens. Each property type needs a different approach: formal layouts and clipped hedging for period homes, or low-maintenance planting for contemporary spaces. We design borders with sensible plant spacing, mature heights and seasonal interest in mind. If you want screening, we’ll recommend hedging and shrubs that thrive in local conditions.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, assess soil and drainage, and agree a clear planting plan. We prepare the ground properly—improving levels, adding quality topsoil where needed, and mulching to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Irrigation options are available for new lawns and planting, helping everything establish quickly. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat finishes and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Greenwich plots often vary from sheltered courtyard gardens to exposed riverside spaces, so we select plants for wind tolerance and sun/shade patterns. Access can be tight around period streets near Blackheath and Maze Hill, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also consider nearby trees and root zones when preparing beds and installing new turf. For sensitive settings near landmark areas, we keep designs sympathetic and practical.

Costs depend on garden size, access, and how much ground preparation is required. As a guide, lawn installation commonly starts from around £25–£45 per m², while planting (plants plus labour) often ranges from £40–£120 per m² depending on species and density. Hedging can vary widely, typically £60–£200 per linear metre installed. Topsoil, mulch and irrigation are priced after a site survey.
Most soft landscaping projects in SE10 take 1–5 days, depending on the scope. A straightforward turf lawn and a few borders may be completed in 1–2 days, while larger gardens with multiple beds, hedging, trees, and irrigation can take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access for materials, the amount of soil improvement needed, and weather conditions—especially for turfing and planting.
Soft landscaping is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, particularly for planting, turfing, mulching and garden irrigation. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works affect protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) or shared boundaries. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on checks with the Royal Borough of Greenwich before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the installed elements of your soft landscaping, covering issues caused by incorrect installation or poor ground preparation. For living materials such as turf, trees and shrubs, establishment depends on weather and aftercare, so we give clear maintenance guidance and can offer irrigation solutions to reduce risk. If a problem appears, we respond quickly and advise the best remedy.
We can install everything from instant turf lawns to meadow-style mixes, structured evergreen hedging, and layered borders with shrubs, perennials and ornamental grasses. Tree planting options include small multi-stems for screening or feature specimens for focal points. For finishes, we supply quality topsoil and a choice of mulches (bark, composted organic mulch) to suit your planting. We’ll recommend options based on sunlight, soil, pets, and your preferred maintenance level.
