Twickenham gardens deserve planting that looks good in every season, whether you’re near Twickenham Stadium or strolling distance from Marble Hill Park. We deliver complete soft landscaping: lawn installation, border planting, hedging, and tree and shrub planting. Our team also supplies topsoil, mulching and irrigation to help new plants settle quickly. The result is a garden that feels balanced, natural and easy to maintain.
Many TW1 and TW2 properties are Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and 1930s family homes with long plots, side returns and mature boundaries. We design planting to complement period brickwork and traditional layouts, while keeping sightlines, light levels and privacy in mind. If you want a family lawn, we specify hard-wearing turf and practical edging. For smaller gardens in St Margarets or Whitton, we use structured shrubs and layered borders to maximise impact without crowding.
We start with a site visit to assess soil, drainage, shade and access, then provide a clear planting plan and schedule. Ground preparation is never rushed: we improve levels, add quality topsoil where needed, and mulch properly to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Every installation is finished with tidy edges and a handover care guide so you know exactly how to keep everything thriving. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, clean working practices, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
The soft landscaping Twickenham area often involves mixed soils and pockets of compaction from older gardens and past building works. We test and improve the growing medium before planting, then choose species that cope with sun, shade and riverside conditions. Access and parking can be tight around Richmond and Teddington, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in local tree constraints and boundary planting expectations common across the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with garden size, access, and how much ground preparation is needed. As a guide, lawn installation often starts from around £15–£30 per m², while border planting can range from £60–£150 per m² depending on plant density and specification. Hedging and tree planting typically run from £150–£600+ per item including soil improvement and staking. Irrigation is usually £800–£2,500+ depending on zones and controls.
Most soft landscaping projects take 2–7 days, depending on preparation, planting volume and whether irrigation is included. A straightforward turf replacement may be completed in 1–2 days, while full border planting with soil improvement and mulching often needs 3–5 days. Larger gardens or phased planting can take longer. Weather, access for materials, and the need to improve drainage or levels are the main factors that affect timescales.
Most garden planting, turfing, mulching and irrigation work is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re working near protected trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order. Some boundary hedge heights can also cause neighbour disputes. We check constraints, advise on best practice, and can help you liaise with the council where permissions or notifications are needed.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty for the installed elements and the standard of installation. This includes correct ground preparation, edging, planting methods, staking and fixings, and irrigation pipework installation where specified. Plants are living materials, so their success depends on aftercare and conditions; we provide clear care guidance and can offer maintenance visits. Any issues linked to installation are put right promptly and professionally.
We tailor planting to how you use the garden and the look of your home. Popular options include durable family lawns, meadow-style areas, evergreen structure with yew or laurel hedging, and mixed borders using grasses, perennials and flowering shrubs. For trees, we often specify multi-stem specimens for shape and screening. We’ll advise on topsoil grades, mulch types, and irrigation layouts, then refine choices around light levels, soil, and maintenance preferences.
