Brilliant from start to finish. Alfie listened to what we wanted, came back with a plan that was way better than anything we'd thought of, and built it over four weeks. The aftercare guide he left was really useful too.

Garden Design in Kingston upon Thames
Plans, planting and full builds for gardens that work for the way you actually use them.
Garden Design in Kingston upon Thames (KT1) works around the kind of houses that are typical in this part of SW London. Mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Edwardian and inter-war semis, and a few estates of post-war housing. Riverside gardens are common around Hampton Wick and Canbury. Most of my work in Kingston upon Thames is around canbury gardens and the streets either side of it. A good design starts by looking at what you've already got: the levels, the trees, the existing patio if there is one, the side that catches the morning sun. Then we plan around the way you actually want to use the garden, not the way the previous owner used it.
Kingston covers a lot, from the centre with its tall townhouses to the residential streets out towards Norbiton. The river runs through it, so a chunk of work in Kingston is around riverside gardens with all the drainage considerations that come with them. Designs that work in Kingston upon Thames tend to start from the house style and the plot shape rather than from a Pinterest board. A traditional Victorian or Edwardian terrace looks slightly daft with a hyper-modern garden, and a 1930s semi often suits a more architectural design than the typical cottage planting people instinctively reach for. I work with what fits.

Garden Design in Kingston upon Thames FAQs
Do you handle planning permission queries for Kingston upon Thames gardens?
Kingston upon Thames is in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Most landscaping work here is permitted development, but the older parts near the river have conservation status, which can affect what materials are allowed. I'll flag anything that needs a check on your job and, if a formal application is needed, point you to a local architect who handles them.
How quickly can you start a garden design job in Kingston upon Thames?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs I usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller garden design jobs in Kingston upon Thames can sometimes fit in within a couple of weeks. The best step is a quick call to check current availability.
Do you cover all of Kingston upon Thames?
Yes. Kingston (KT1, KT2) and the surrounding streets are all within my regular working area. If you're on the edge of Kingston upon Thames or in a neighbouring area like hampton wick, that's still fine.
