Expert garden renovation services in Camden, NW1. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Camden.
The gardens round here are as varied as the houses. Formal walled gardens behind the Georgian terraces on Gloucester Crescent, small courtyards behind Primrose Hill cottages, waterside plots along the Regent's Canal. We design and build gardens that fit the house rather than fighting it.
A lot of the Georgian gardens on Camden Square, Regent's Park Terrace and Albert Street still have their old walls, paths and mature trees. Those are worth keeping, so we build the new design around them instead of ripping them out. You get the period bones with a layout that actually works day to day.
By the canal we lean into the setting. Decking that nods to the moorings, gravel paths, planting that likes a bit of damp. There are real things to deal with too, like shade off the bridges, tight access and soil that varies as you dig. We've done enough of them to know the answers.
Primrose Hill cottage gardens are tiny, so every metre counts. Outdoor dining, planting up the boundary walls, raised beds for herbs, built in seating that hides storage underneath. Small gardens like these end up being the best used part of the house.
Camden gardens go from big walled plots behind the Georgian terraces to tiny cottage patches and odd canal side spaces. Trees inside the conservation areas are protected, so any design has to take the existing planting into account.
A good garden adds real value here, and real quality of life, in a borough this densely built where outdoor space is scarce. We build outdoor rooms that get used through the year and stretch the living space of even the smallest Camden house.
“SOM brought our neglected Georgian walled garden near Regent's Park back to life. They kept the old York stone path and the magnolia, then added raised beds, lighting and a dining terrace. We love sitting out there now.”

You get a clear itemised quote covering materials, landscaping and build costs, with a set timeline.
Our team handles the lot, from groundwork and drainage through to the planting and the finishing touches.
Yes. We repair and repoint old garden walls with traditional lime mortar and matching bricks. Where a wall is past saving we rebuild it in reclaimed London stock brick so it still looks the part.
Before anything starts we fence off the root protection area around every tree we're keeping. No digging, no storage, no traffic inside that zone. Trees in conservation areas also have extra protection from Camden Council.
Yes, we've done plenty. The tricky bits are access, shade patterns, moisture and the way the garden meets the water. We work with all of that and make the setting the feature rather than the problem.
