Greenwich’s changing levels and compact plots can make gardens feel awkward, shaded or underused. We design and build terraced layouts that create clear zones for planting, dining and relaxing, with safe access between levels. Whether you’re near Greenwich Park or along Maze Hill, we’ll shape the ground to suit your lifestyle. Expect crisp detailing, durable materials and planting that thrives in SE10 conditions.
Homeowners in the terrace gardens Greenwich area often want a refined look that complements Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments. We balance period-appropriate materials with contemporary touches such as discreet lighting and integrated seating. Multi-level planting helps soften walls and add privacy without blocking light. Every scheme is tailored to your outlook, aspect and how you use the space day to day.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage routes and access for materials, then produce a clear design and itemised scope. Our builds include robust retaining walls, steps & access, and reliable drainage solutions to protect your home and garden. You’ll get a tidy, well-managed project with regular updates and careful finishing. Local clients choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent scheduling and a 10-year warranty.
In the terrace gardens in Royal Borough of Greenwich, we often encounter clay-heavy soils, pockets of made ground and shaded boundaries near mature trees. Access can be tight on residential streets around Deptford and Blackheath, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider conservation sensitivities near historic streetscapes and advise on suitable finishes. Our detailing is chosen to cope with London weather and frequent foot traffic on steps and terraces.

Costs vary mainly with height changes, wall lengths, access and finishes. As a guide, smaller terracing works with basic steps and planting can start around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-size projects with engineered retaining walls, drainage and lighting often fall between £15,000–£35,000. Larger multi-level builds with premium stone, seating areas, irrigation and water features can be £40,000+. We provide an itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most terrace garden builds take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on the number of levels, retaining wall construction and how much groundwork is required. A compact scheme with one wall run and a short flight of steps may be completed in around two weeks. Multi-level planting, lighting, irrigation and water features add time, as do restricted access and poor weather. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden landscaping changes are permitted development, but terracing can trigger checks where there are significant changes in ground level, boundary walls, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also apply near highways and neighbours where overlooking or drainage is affected. We review your site, advise what’s likely required and, if needed, help you prepare information for the Royal Borough of Greenwich before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our terrace garden construction, covering workmanship on key build elements such as retaining walls, steps, paving installation and structural detailing when installed to our specification. It’s designed to give peace of mind against defects arising from installation issues. Natural wear, storm damage, lack of maintenance and plant losses are not typically covered, but we’ll explain care requirements clearly and offer aftercare support.
We design terraces to suit both period and contemporary homes, using options such as brick or rendered retaining walls, natural stone or porcelain paving, timber or composite seating, and steel edging for crisp levels. Steps can be stone, brick or concrete with safe lighting details. Planting can be formal evergreen structure or softer cottage-style layers. We’ll guide you on finishes, slip resistance, durability and how materials sit with your property’s character.
