If your garden needs a lift, our soft landscaping brings colour, structure and year-round interest. We work across SE15, including around Peckham Rye Park and Queen’s Road, improving tired lawns and underused borders. Whether you want a simple refresh or a full replant, we focus on soil health first so plants thrive. The result is a garden that looks good quickly and improves season after season.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often comes with compact plots, awkward levels and shaded corners. We design planting that suits light, aspect and how you use the space—family lawns, pet-friendly areas, or low-maintenance greenery. For courtyard gardens and roof-adjacent spaces, we choose plants that cope with wind and reflected heat. This is soft landscaping Peckham area homeowners rely on when they want lasting results, not short-lived colour.
We start with a site visit to measure, assess drainage and discuss your priorities. Then we prepare ground properly—topsoil where needed, mulching to retain moisture, and irrigation options for consistent watering. Every job is scheduled to minimise disruption and left tidy, with clear aftercare guidance. Local clients choose us for straightforward communication, skilled planting, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens in the London Borough of Southwark can vary from free-draining, sandy pockets to heavier, compacted ground after building works. Access can be tight on terrace streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to keep things smooth. We also factor in shade from neighbouring extensions and mature trees, common around Nunhead and Camberwell edges. Our plant choices and soil improvements are tailored to these real conditions, not generic templates.

Costs depend on size, access and how much ground preparation is needed. As a guide, lawn installation often starts from £12–£25 per m², while border planting can range from £40–£120 per m² depending on plant density and specification. Tree planting typically runs £250–£900+ per tree including staking and compost. Adding topsoil, mulching and irrigation will increase the budget, especially for larger SE15 gardens.
Most small to medium gardens take 1–5 days for soil preparation, lawn installation and planting. Larger schemes with lots of shrubs, hedging, tree planting and irrigation can take 1–3 weeks, especially if we’re importing topsoil or correcting levels. Timescales also depend on access for materials, weather, and whether you choose instant turf or seeded lawns. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
Most soft landscaping—lawns, planting, mulching, topsoil and irrigation—doesn’t need planning permission. However, there can be restrictions if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re working near protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders). Some boundary changes involving hedging or removal of mature trees can also require checks. We’ll flag any likely issues early and help you confirm requirements with Southwark Council if needed.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements, covering issues caused by installation faults such as poor preparation or incorrect fixing where applicable. Living materials like turf and plants are affected by weather and aftercare, so we’ll give clear maintenance guidance and can offer a follow-up visit plan. If something fails due to our installation, we’ll put it right promptly. Product guarantees may also apply to irrigation components.
We can create anything from crisp, modern planting to softer cottage-style borders. Popular options include instant turf or seed lawns, evergreen hedging for privacy, multi-stem trees for structure, and layered shrub planting for year-round interest. For finishes, we use quality topsoil and a range of mulches (bark, composted mulch) to suit your planting and look. We’ll recommend species based on light, soil, pets, and how much maintenance you want.
