Costs vary with levels, retaining wall height, access and finishes. As a guide, a small two-tier terrace with steps and basic planting often starts around £8,000–£15,000. Mid-sized gardens with engineered retaining walls, lighting and improved drainage commonly fall between £18,000–£35,000. Larger, multi-level schemes with water features, bespoke seating and irrigation can reach £40,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most terrace garden builds take 2–6 weeks, depending on the number of levels and the amount of groundworks required. A straightforward retaining wall, steps and planting can be completed in around 10–15 working days. More complex schemes with multiple walls, lighting, irrigation and a water feature may take 5–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, spoil removal, curing times for concrete, and weather.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, but terracing can trigger rules where there are significant changes in ground levels, taller retaining walls, or impacts on neighbours and drainage. If your property is in a conservation area or is listed, additional constraints may apply. We check the relevant London Borough of Wandsworth guidance and advise early on. Where needed, we can support drawings and information for an application.
