Dulwich has some of the largest and best-kept gardens in South London, and the work reflects it. The substantial period houses in Dulwich Village and around the Park — many within the conservation area — have full lawns, long established borders and mature hedging that owners expect kept to a genuinely high standard, week in and week out. We mow and edge cleanly, weed and re-plant borders, prune specimen shrubs by hand and shape hedges carefully, on a regular schedule that keeps a big garden looking cared-for all year rather than tackled in occasional bursts.
Around East Dulwich and along Lordship Lane the Victorian and Edwardian terraces have decent rear gardens and side returns, and the converted flats off Lordship Lane share smaller plots between them, often behind the house with a narrow side return to keep clear of moss. These we mow, trim and keep weeded, clearing the overgrown ones and pressure-washing the paths and patios, working to whatever arrangement suits a shared garden. Along East Dulwich Grove and towards Herne Hill the terraces carry the same decent rear gardens, mown and edged on a regular round.
This is largely owner-occupied, careful-finish territory, so we take the same trouble outside as in — protecting planting, edging neatly and carting away every barrow of clippings and green waste. Dulwich Park and the leafy streets around the Picture Gallery bring plenty of seasonal leaf fall to stay on top of, and we clear gutters and rainwater goods before autumn blockages cause damp, timing the heavier cut-backs to suit the season. Whether it is a standing maintenance round on a Village garden or a one-off clearance to reset a plot, it is one team, one agreed price. Call 0333 011 1874 for a quote.

Why Dulwich homes and landlords rely on us for garden care
Dulwich's draw for gardening is the scale and the standard. A house in the Village or on College Road, Court Lane or Barry Road often has a large, established garden — a proper lawn, deep planted borders, mature hedges and specimen shrubs — the sort that genuinely needs regular, thorough maintenance to stay right. We set up a schedule for exactly this, and because much of the area is a conservation area, we keep the work sympathetic and neat, in keeping with the house and the street.
East Dulwich around Lordship Lane is busier and closer-packed, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces and converted flats on smaller gardens and side returns. Here the jobs are more about keeping things trimmed, weeded and clear, resetting the odd overgrown plot and washing down paved areas — the everyday upkeep that keeps a busy family garden usable.
With Dulwich Park and so many tree-lined streets, autumn is a real season of work — leaves off lawns, paths, borders and gutters before they mat down and turn slippery. Whether it is a substantial Village garden held to a high standard through the year or a terrace garden behind a let flat off Lordship Lane, we match the care to the property and take every barrow of waste with us.

Gardening in Dulwich — FAQs
Do you cover both Dulwich Village and East Dulwich?
Yes — we cover Dulwich Village, East Dulwich and the surrounding SE21 and SE22 streets, out towards Herne Hill and Lordship Lane. If you are unsure whether you fall within our area, just ask.
Can you handle work on larger period Dulwich homes?
Yes. Many Dulwich properties are substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses, and we are used to the demands they bring — from sash windows and older plumbing to bigger decorating and carpentry jobs — handled by one team across every trade.
Do you work sympathetically on homes in the Dulwich Village conservation area?
Yes. Much of Dulwich Village and the surrounding streets sit within a conservation area, and owners rightly expect careful, sympathetic work. We take time over sash windows, period joinery and finishes so repairs and improvements stay in keeping with the house.
Do you offer regular visits or one-off jobs?
Both. We can arrange regular maintenance to keep a garden under control, or a one-off tidy-up and clearance to get an overgrown space back to its best.
Do you clear away the waste?
Yes, we can remove green waste and clippings so you are left with a tidy, finished garden. Just let us know when you book.
Do you help landlords keep rental gardens tidy?
We do — regular or between-tenancy garden maintenance is a popular request from landlords and agents who want properties to show well.
Do you clear overgrown or neglected gardens?
Yes. A one-off clearance is one of our most common jobs — we cut back the overgrowth, clear the beds and borders and take the waste away, then you can keep it up or leave it to us.
Can you pressure-wash paths and patios?
Yes. We pressure-wash paths, patios and decking to lift off green growth and dirt, which also makes slippery surfaces safer underfoot.
Do you keep gutters and outdoor drainage clear?
We can clear leaves and debris from gutters and rainwater goods as part of seasonal upkeep, so blockages do not cause damp or overflow.
