Expert garden renovation services in Richmond, TW9. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Richmond gardens are some of the best in London. Views toward the park, the river, or the old Green, and space that most of the city can only dream about. We design garden work that makes the most of a setting like that, and that still holds up to everyday family use.
Go up around Richmond Hill and Queen's Road and the plots run surprisingly deep, with mature trees and shrubs and views that deserve to be shown off. We plan layouts that frame those views. Terraces put where you will actually sit, specimen planting to draw the eye, boundaries that keep the place private without walling off the outlook.
Down by the water on Water Lane, Friars Lane and the towpath it is a different job. Here we work in water edge planting, flood resilient hard landscaping and raised seating that makes the most of the river. Our go-to materials for Richmond are natural York stone, aged brick and weathered oak. They settle into an old setting instead of fighting it.
Family features run through most of these projects. Level lawn for the kids, secure boundaries, planting that brings in wildlife, and a covered spot to eat outside that stretches the season a bit further. We also fit outdoor kitchens, fire pits and hot tub terraces when someone wants the garden to work as a proper outdoor room.
Richmond gardens benefit from the borough's leafy feel, decent plot sizes and being close to Richmond Park and the Thames. A lot of properties sit in conservation areas, which can restrict tree felling and hard surfacing. Riverside plots also carry flood risk and Environment Agency rules.
A good garden is a real asset on a Richmond house. Families round here want outdoor space that works, and estate agents will tell you garden quality is one of the things that pushes prices up.
“SOM split our Richmond garden into proper zones. A dining terrace, a wildflower strip, a flat lawn for the kids and a hot tub deck at the bottom. The York stone and oak sleepers already look like they have been there for years.”
