Highly recommended! Alfie and his friend changed our fences and did a fantastic job. They were efficient, quick, hardworking and the price was very reasonable. Really pleased with the result. Thank you again.

Garden Design in East Sheen
We design your garden to maximise the space. Whether you want maintenance free or a garden made for enjoying, we optimise every aspect.
Garden Design in East Sheen (SW14) works around the kind of houses that are typical in this part of SW London. Edwardian and inter-war detached and semi-detached houses with rear gardens 12 to 18 metres deep. Side access is common. Most of our work in East Sheen is around richmond park (sheen gate) and the streets either side of it. A good design starts by looking at what you've already got: the levels, the trees, the existing patio if there is one, the side that catches the morning sun. Then we plan around the way you actually want to use the garden, not the way the previous owner used it.
East Sheen sits between Mortlake and Richmond Park, with a busy high street and a quietly affluent feel on the residential streets. Housing is largely Edwardian and inter-war, with a higher proportion of detached houses than most of the area. Designs that work in East Sheen tend to start from the house style and the plot shape rather than from a Pinterest board. A traditional Victorian or Edwardian terrace looks slightly daft with a hyper-modern garden, and a 1930s semi often suits a more architectural design than the typical cottage planting people instinctively reach for. We work with what fits.

What clients say
Alfie and his team did a great job replacing our back fence. It was mess due to neighbours trees and rubbish pushing up against the wood panels. They cleared everything up and ensured nothing putting pressure against the new fence. They worked fast, removed all rubbish, and well priced. The fence looks fantastic. We will be using his services again, highly recommend.
Alfie and his team were great, we used them to install a new fence, gate, and also box in our hot tub, he was flexible, communicative, and professional, everything that was promised was delivered to an excellent standard.
I had 15 fence panels, 11 concrete posts and 15 concrete bases fitted by Alfie and his team, very lovely men the quality of work was amazing all waste taken away after they had finished. Very professional I am very happy with the work.
I had 3 fence panels and 2 fence posts fitted. Very happy with the work done. Very professional and polite. Price was very competitive and they took away all the old panels etc and left no mess at all. Would definitely recommend.
We used Alfie and team for a few fence replacements and I would recommend them. Good communication and friendly. Attention to detail was good which adds extra trust.
Garden Design in East Sheen FAQs
Do you handle planning permission queries for East Sheen gardens?
East Sheen sits in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Their planning portal is reasonably clear, and there are conservation areas in pockets of the borough (parts of Barnes, Strawberry Hill and central Teddington among others) where stricter rules apply. We'll flag anything that needs a check on your job and, if a formal application is needed, point you to a local architect who handles them.
How quickly can you start a garden design job in East Sheen?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs we usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller garden design jobs in East Sheen can sometimes fit in within a couple of weeks. The best step is a quick call to check current availability.

Yes. East Sheen (SW14) and the surrounding streets are all within our regular working area. If you're on the edge of East Sheen or in a neighbouring area like mortlake, that's still fine.
