Posted on Andrea Wareham2024-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The SW London Gardeners visit me twice a year, at the beginning and the end of the summer season. They always do a fantastic job tidying up the garden, cutting back the plants and also giving advice on anything that is needed. They make a huge difference in the few hours that they are in my garden. They are extremely professional and friendly, and I feel like I have found my ‘forever gardeners’.Posted on Kenzie Horn2024-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott, Mary, and Stuart were absolutely brilliant. They showed up on time, worked through some pretty terrible weather, and gave great advice about what would work in our space and be easy to maintain. We couldn't be happier with our garden!Posted on Ellie Loughnan2024-02-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We chose this company because of the reviews which referenced how considerate and professional this company are, but not even these do full justice to the wonderful team at The South West London Gardener company. Scott and David first took time to listen so carefully to what we wanted, not making us feel rushed and taking all of our requests and hopes seriously. They provided a clear quote within days of coming, and then arranged a date to begin work, all of which they stuck to. Scott, David and Mary then worked tirelessly, through even awful weather, to return a very loved (but neglected and complex) space into a tranquil, beautiful, nature-sensitive oasis. This included removal of huge amounts of garden waste, which they had to do through our flat, and this too was done carefully and thoughtfully. Every detail of work was completed to the highest standard and with care, skill and consideration. The entire team were just a joy to work with. The creativity, warmth and kindness they show, as well as the skill and craftsmanship with which they work, make them stand out to us as one of the best companies we have ever worked with; we won’t hesitate to use them again and again, and to recommend them widely.Posted on Vince & Celia Webb2024-01-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Vince2024-01-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Two years ago we used the Southwest London Gardener Ltd to plan and create a new front garden for our suburban home. We were so pleased with the result that when we decided to significantly change the design of our back garden there was no hesitation in again using these horticultural experts. The process begins with detailed discussions on what one wants from a new garden leisure space. Taking account of the aesthetic and practical nature of the garden, computer plans are produced and provide a starting point for the project. It is clear from those initial discussions that you are dealing with a wholly professional company. Throughout the design and creation of the garden you are kept fully appraised of progress and there is flexibility, on both sides, to adapt ideas as the new garden takes shape. We were extremely impressed with all members of the team and it is clear that the company use personnel with wide-ranging skills in design, structure, and horticultural knowledge. The team members are polite, friendly and respectful of your home and garden. They undoubtedly possess a great deal of pride in their work. Once the new garden is created the team provides detailed advice and guidance on the future care of plants, etc. We are delighted with our new back garden and have no hesitation in recommending Southwest London Gardener Ltd.Posted on David Anthony2023-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott, Mary and the rest of the team did a fantastic job with helping us design and landscape our garden. The team were thoroughly professional (yet approachable) and delivered a high quality product. They were happy to amend the original design during the course of the project and were able to offer bespoke solutions to make the most of our space. Would highly recommend.Posted on Priyen Patel2023-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Johnnie Parkhurst2023-03-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found Scott during a Google search and decided to reach out to him after reading some very favourable reviews. Scott put us at ease as soon as we met him - he seemed genuinely interested in our project and keen to help. He also took the time to chat to our daughters, as he knew that their input was important as well - a true indication of how caring and considerate he is. When we later got a puppy, Scott was also sure to factor her needs in... When the work started, we quickly realised Scott only used extremely polite and engaging staff to work alongside - each employee has been a joy to have in & out of our house. Once the initial clearance was done, we kept in contact and he would check in periodically, often over a cup of coffee and contemplating the aspects of the garden that worked for us. He took the time to listen to our views and was always pragmatic in his approach. When we were ready to move onto the next steps, we talked at length about the project, and Scott made many notes and asked for a few days to digest everything we spoke about. His resulting drawings and project plans encapsulated extremely well what we had discussed, with a couple of suggestions from him based on his musings and knowledge of our garden (soil type, aspect, features etc.). As we were embarking on various different projects (garden/garden room/remodelling inside the house) it was imperative that all three teams involved were able to liaise with each other. We set up a meeting for all parties and found each group was willing to work alongside each other in a measured, considerate way. While main decisions were made with each contractor, we set up an email group for communication purposes. Scott in particular, as the man 'in the middle' between the house and the garden room, was extremely good at communicating some of the key dates, deliveries, measurements etc. While much of the garden work in these stages was clearance and preparation, Scott stressed that we should wait until the garden room was finished before making detailed plans, knowing full well that the 'feel' of our space would change once that was completed. It is this patience that I believe sets him apart from others who may choose to wow you with their vision (product placements/plant selections) at an earlier stage. When the garden room was nearly complete, Scott returned for the next stages - the friendly team now also included Mary, Scott's partner. It was quickly apparent that she is a key piece of the Southwest London Gardener jigsaw. Professional, hardworking and extremely talented, yet very unassuming (and an absolute pleasure to have around!). As the gardening works progressed, we discussed freely each aspect being tackled, and weighed up pros & cons of various planting/direction/material options, Scott & Mary provided much guidance during these stages and really helped us make some key decisions. We are just so happy with what they have achieved for us. They kept to their timings, kept to budget (where plans changed, reflection on pricing was done swiftly and fairly) and have given us a dream garden which we are looking forward to enjoying and seeing develop over the coming years.Posted on Rachel Baxter2023-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This team are amazing. They designed and landscaped our garden to a very high quality. Scott and Mary had so many great ideas and suggestions which transformed the garden for us. It was so easy to leave it in their hands to create the best space. They were also a pleasure to have around and were extremely friendly and considerate. We look forward to having them back to help maintain the beautiful garden they created.Posted on Matt Lilley2022-11-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott, Mary and the team did a fantastic job on a complete redesign and renovation of my garden (lifting of existing paving, replacing fencing, installing a deck and astroturf and planting). They were always professional and a pleasure to deal with. I really appreciated Scott's advice in terms of planning the project and formalising a design that would work well in the space.

Putney Landscapers
We deliver comprehensive landscaping services throughout Putney and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Wondering what landscaping actually covers?
It’s best understood as two complementary disciplines – hard and soft.
The easiest way to determine which type your project requires is by looking at the materials involved. Hard landscaping deals with structural elements like stone, timber, and built features. Soft landscaping focuses on the living components – plants, lawns, and soil management.
Whatever your specific requirements, our specialists bring both the right equipment and hands-on experience to complete your project efficiently. Our familiarity with Putney’s varied property types – from riverside apartments to Victorian family homes – means we understand the specific opportunities and constraints of gardens in this area.
While each landscaping approach can stand independently, they achieve their full potential when thoughtfully combined. That elegant new terrace gains significant impact when framed by carefully selected plantings. Likewise, even the most beautiful plant collection benefits from proper structural elements to provide organisation and visual flow.
Looking for a team that blends technical expertise with design sensitivity to revitalise your Putney garden? Get in touch today to explore what we can achieve in your outdoor space.
Putney Garden Designers
Diving into landscaping without proper planning typically leads to disappointment and unexpected costs. We meticulously plan every aspect of your garden transformation – from precise cost projections to realistic timelines and detailed visual concepts.
Garden design in Putney presents unique challenges, with properties ranging from compact riverside apartments to substantial homes with sloping gardens near the Heath. Our design process is exacting, ensuring we maximise your garden’s potential while incorporating all your desired features.
Our garden design team has extensive experience with Putney’s diverse property styles. They’ll take time to understand your specific needs and aesthetic preferences, then develop a customised plan that balances visual appeal with practical functionality.
Implementation begins only after you’ve thoroughly reviewed and approved the design, ensuring the final result perfectly matches your expectations.
Garden Makeovers & Transformations
Putney is full of gardens that look fine from the kitchen window but don’t really invite you outside. If that sounds familiar, and you’ve been meaning to do something about it for longer than you’d care to admit, a proper makeover could change the way you use your home.
The gardens around here vary a lot. You’ve got wide plots behind Edwardian semis on the hillside roads and much tighter spaces closer to the High Street. Our team has worked across both ends of that range and knows how to get the best out of whatever you’re working with. Sometimes it’s about creating distinct areas within a larger garden. Other times it’s about making a small space feel twice its size.
We’ll visit, understand what you need, and put a solid design together before anything gets started.
Tidying up Your Putney Garden
Garden maintenance often slides down the priority list, particularly during busier periods or less favourable weather when outdoor work loses its appeal.
If your garden has become unmanageable, we’re here to help restore order. Whether that involves tackling overgrown shrubbery, responsibly removing accumulated garden waste, or replacing struggling plants with more suitable varieties, our team can quickly transform your outdoor space.
We understand that not everyone finds gardening rewarding. If you’re among those who see it as more obligation than pleasure, why not let our experienced team handle the ongoing care of your Putney garden?
Before long, you’ll find yourself actively enjoying your outdoor space rather than avoiding it. Instead of making excuses for your garden when friends visit, you’ll be planning gatherings specifically to showcase your beautiful outdoor area.
If the idea of reclaiming your free time from endless garden maintenance sounds appealing, connect with our Putney team today!
