Fulham gardens often need smart level changes to make the most of limited space and long, narrow plots. We create terraces that improve access, manage water and add places to sit, cook and entertain. Whether you’re close to Bishops Park or heading back from Fulham Broadway, your garden should work as hard as your home. Our builds combine structure and planting so the space looks established, not newly “done”.
Across SW6 you’ll find Victorian terraces with stepped rear gardens, mansion flats with shared boundaries, and modern riverside apartments needing refined, low-maintenance planting. We plan multi-level layouts that suit each property type, including discreet irrigation for busy households. Where privacy is important, we use layered planting and screens without sacrificing light. Every terrace is designed to feel proportionate to the architecture and the way you use the space.
Our process starts with an on-site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then a detailed design with materials and planting specified. We handle excavation, retaining walls, steps & access, and finishes with careful protection of neighbouring boundaries. You get clear staging, tidy working practices and a handover that includes care guidance for plants and systems. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
Terrace gardens in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham often involve tight side access, basement lightwells and close neighbouring walls. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption on residential streets around Parsons Green and SW6. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels, soil and runoff before setting wall footings and drainage routes. Where council requirements apply, we keep designs sympathetic to local streetscapes and property styles.

Costs vary with levels, access and specification. As a guide, smaller terrace reworks with steps, drainage and planting often start around £12,000–£25,000. Mid-sized builds with retaining walls, lighting and seating areas are commonly £25,000–£55,000. Larger multi-level projects with premium stone, irrigation and water features can run £55,000–£120,000+. We provide an itemised estimate after a site survey in SW6.
Most terrace gardens take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on excavation, wall construction and finishes. A compact scheme with one retaining wall, steps and planting may be completed in 10–15 working days. More complex layouts with multiple levels, lighting, irrigation and bespoke seating typically take 4–8 weeks. Access restrictions, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for stone or joinery can all affect the programme.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, but terrace gardens can trigger checks where there are significant level changes, new boundary walls, drainage alterations or works close to neighbouring structures. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you’re altering a wall fronting a highway, extra consents may apply. We review the proposal, flag likely constraints, and can help with drawings and information for any council queries before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural landscaping elements such as retaining walls, steps, paving and built seating, subject to normal use and maintenance. Products like lighting transformers, pumps and irrigation components are covered by manufacturer warranties, and we register these where applicable. We also give a clear handover pack and aftercare guidance so planting establishes well and drainage continues to perform as designed.
Popular choices include London stock brick or rendered retaining walls to suit period homes, porcelain or natural sandstone paving for clean lines, and timber or composite seating with integrated storage. For planting, we often use evergreen structure with seasonal perennials and climbers for privacy. Lighting can be subtle step lights and uplighters, while water features range from rills to compact reflective bowls. We guide you through options based on style, maintenance and budget.
