Townhouse & family garden design
Reconfigured layouts that make sense of long, narrow or split-level gardens. We clarify routes, terraces and lawn, creating a sequence of spaces that feel generous and easy to use.
Landscape design · London
Considered landscape design for London homes.
We design calm, liveable outdoor spaces for London townhouses, apartments and family homes – making every square metre work hard while still feeling soft and effortless.
From tightly enclosed courtyards to long, narrow gardens and roof terraces, Pebble Landscape Design create schemes that feel connected to your interior, capture precious light and bring privacy and greenery back into the city.
Landscape design shaped around London living
London gardens ask a lot of their owners – somewhere to eat, work, play, grow and escape, all in one compact footprint. We resolve circulation, levels, storage and screening so that the garden feels calm and generous, rather than compromised.
We're used to working with tight access, existing extensions, mature trees and neighbours in close proximity. Our landscape designs balance structure and softness, ensuring you gain privacy and usable space without losing light or character.
Proposals are shared through scaled plans, mood imagery and 3D visualisation where helpful, so you can clearly see how the landscape will sit alongside your architecture and interior design.

Courtyard & basement gardens
Light, surfaces and planting are carefully balanced to make enclosed courtyards feel calm rather than dark or overlooked – often integrating water, mirrors and subtler lighting.
Ⅲ
Roof terraces & balconies
Lightweight, wind-tolerant planting schemes and built-in seating that work with structural constraints and access routes, turning unused flat roofs into genuinely inviting outdoor rooms.
How our London landscape design process works
A structured but collaborative process that coordinates with architects, interior designers and contractors where needed.
- 1. Initial call & London site visit
We begin with a conversation about the property, timings and aspirations, followed by a visit to understand levels, views, access and how you'd like the garden to work day to day.
- 2. Survey & concept options
Working from a measured survey, we explore layout options and structural ideas, sharing plans and visual material to help you choose a preferred direction for the garden.
- 3. Developed design & planting
Materials, steps, walls, built elements and lighting are refined. We develop a planting scheme suited to London microclimates, with year-round interest and practical maintenance in mind.
- 4. Technical design for contractors
Detailed construction drawings, levels, sections and setting-out plans are produced so landscapers can price and build accurately, reducing risk and queries on site.
- 5. Support during construction
We can remain involved during the build, reviewing key milestones, advising on adjustments and ensuring the finished landscape matches the agreed design.
- 6. Planting installation & aftercare
We set out planting on site, fine-tuning compositions as they go in, and provide maintenance guidance tailored to the way you'll care for the garden.
Landscape design for period, modern and new-build homes
We work across a broad mix of London properties – from stucco fronted terraces and Victorian villas to contemporary new-builds and mews houses – always responding to the architecture and the character of the street.
Recent London work includes reimagining long gardens in Wandsworth and Dulwich, a compact courtyard in Islington and a roof terrace overlooking the river. Each project is tailored to the clients' routines, children and entertaining style.
You can explore a selection of these projects in our portfolio, or get in touch if you'd like to discuss a specific property.
Landscape Design London – frequently asked questions
Practical details for London clients considering a landscape design project.
- Can you coordinate with our architect or interior designer?
- Yes. Many London projects involve wider building or renovation works. We regularly collaborate with architects, interior designers and project managers so that thresholds, levels and views are considered together from the outset.
- What sort of budgets do London landscape projects typically require?
- Costs vary depending on access, levels and the complexity of the build, but London construction budgets are often higher than elsewhere. As a broad guide, gardens we design in the city usually see build budgets starting from around £60,000, with larger or more intricate sites exceeding this. After an initial conversation we can give a more tailored indication.
- Do you work with planning and conservation area constraints?
- Many London gardens sit within conservation areas or have planning sensitivities. We're used to designing within these parameters and can provide drawings and information to support applications prepared by your planning consultant or architect.
- Is it possible to phase the garden works?
- Where it helps with budgeting or access, we can design a masterplan that can be delivered in phases – for example, completing structural works first and then returning to implement planting and lighting at a later stage.
