Putney’s varied topography makes terracing a smart way to gain usable space, especially near Putney Heath and the River Thames towpath. We create structured levels that feel natural, with retaining walls, steps and planting working as one. Thoughtful drainage keeps patios and borders dry, even after heavy rain. The result is a garden that looks composed from every viewpoint, including upper-floor windows.
Across SW15 we work on Victorian and Edwardian houses with narrow side access, plus riverside apartments needing clean lines and low-maintenance planting. A well-planned terrace garden can add dining zones, quiet seating and practical storage without crowding the plot. Our designs balance soft planting with durable materials so the garden matures beautifully. If you’re in West Putney or East Putney, we tailor levels to privacy, outlook and sun path.
We start with a site survey, levels assessment and a clear concept plan, then specify construction details for walls, steps and water management. Every build includes proper foundations, drainage solutions and tidy finishes, with lighting and irrigation integrated early to avoid disruption later. You’ll receive a staged programme, transparent scope and regular updates on site. Many homeowners choose us for terrace gardens putney area projects because we combine design flair with dependable build quality.
Putney gardens often sit on slopes or raised plots, so we prioritise levels, water run-off and wall footings from the outset. Access can be tight around period terraces, and parking controls vary near Putney High Street, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Where properties overlook neighbours, we use layered planting and discreet screens to maintain privacy. We also align designs with expectations for terrace gardens in London Borough of Wandsworth homes, keeping finishes smart and durable.

Costs vary with height changes, retaining wall type, access and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, smaller terracing and planting upgrades may start from around £8,000–£15,000. Mid-sized schemes with walls, steps, drainage and lighting often fall between £20,000–£45,000. Larger multi-level builds with premium stone, water features and irrigation can be £50,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after a site visit.
Most terrace garden builds take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on the number of levels and the complexity of retaining walls and drainage. A compact scheme with one wall and a short run of steps can be completed in around 10–15 working days. Larger projects with multiple tiers, lighting, irrigation and water features may take 6–10 weeks. Lead times for bespoke stone and specialist features can also extend the schedule.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, but terracing can trigger checks where ground levels are significantly altered, walls are close to boundaries, or the property is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage outfalls and works near party walls can also require care. We review your site conditions, advise on likely requirements and can help with drawings or applications if needed. We always build with neighbour and boundary considerations in mind.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural elements such as retaining walls, steps and built features, subject to correct use and normal ground conditions. This covers defects arising from installation, including movement linked to inadequate construction. We also pass on applicable manufacturer warranties for products like lighting, pumps and irrigation components. Clear aftercare guidance is included so planting and finishes settle in as intended.
We design terraces using options such as natural stone paving, porcelain, clay pavers and resin-bound paths, paired with retaining walls in brick, stone, timber sleepers or rendered blockwork. Steps can be stone, brick or composite, with handrails where needed. Popular additions include seating ledges, corten planters, rills or compact water bowls, plus warm-white lighting. We help you choose finishes that suit your home’s architecture and the maintenance level you prefer.
