Woolwich is one of the fastest-changing parts of South East London right now, and its gardens are as varied as its streets. You've got large Victorian and Edwardian terrace gardens in the older residential streets, newer builds near the riverside with compact, low-maintenance outdoor spaces, and landlord-owned properties where gardens have sometimes been left to their own devices for years. The Royal Arsenal development and the growth around Woolwich Arsenal station have brought a mix of property types together in a relatively small area.
We've been working across SE18 for over 12 years. We know the soil conditions, the access challenges on the denser terraced streets, and the kind of clearance and landscaping work that rental and residential properties in Woolwich typically need. If you need a gardener in Woolwich who'll give you a straight quote and get the job done properly, we're a phone call away.
Spring and autumn are our busiest periods in Woolwich - if you're planning a bigger job, booking ahead helps.

We're a full-service gardening company, which means you don't have to call three different people for three different jobs. Whether you need a one-off clearance or a complete garden redesign, we handle it. For a full breakdown of what each service costs, see our prices page.
Before/after of a garden clearance with Urban Gardeners.
Overgrown hedges, ivy that's taken over a wall, brambles, years of accumulated green waste - we clear it properly. Clearance starts at £85/hour with a two-person team. Photo quotes within 24 hours for most jobs; we'll visit first for anything larger or more complex. Not sure what's involved? Read our guide on what garden clearance in South East London actually costs and includes.
Regular upkeep keeps costs down and gardens healthy. We do one-off tidy-ups and flexible ongoing maintenance plans. Pricing is £80 for the first hour, £60 for each hour after that, with no minimum charge. First-time clients usually find that booking at least two hours gets the garden into a good baseline.
Lawn mowing with Urban Gardeners.
Same hourly rate as maintenance. We mow, edge, strim, collect clippings, and can advise on lawn health. For treatments like aeration, moss removal, or overseeding, we do a free on-site survey first - treatments typically start from £60-80 depending on size and condition.
Before/after of a artificial grass project with Urban Gardeners.
Natural turf installation runs £15-28 per sqm (includes turf, labour, and topsoil). Artificial grass is £60-90 per sqm and includes full excavation, sub-base, membrane, and the grass itself. All turfing starts with a free survey, with a written quote within 3 business days. If you're weighing up your options, our post on natural vs artificial grass for South East London gardens covers the real pros and cons. We also have a full turfing cost guide for SE London if you want to get a sense of budgets before you call.
Before/after of a landscaping project with Urban Gardeners.
From a small refresh with replanting and gravel to a full redesign with new patio, fencing, turf, and planted borders. Projects typically range from £1,200 for a light refresh up to £18,000 for a full transformation. We survey for free, quote in writing, and follow a clear process from design through to final review. See the prices page for a full breakdown of landscaping project ranges.
Closeboard panels at £260 each, standard panel fencing from £230-280. All pricing includes materials, labour, post installation, and concrete setting. Storm damage repairs from £150-300 per section. Had a fence blown down recently? Our post on what to do after storm fence damage in South East London and what it costs to replace walks you through the process.
Before/after of a jet washing cleaning with Urban Gardeners.
Pressure washing for patios, driveways, pathways, decking, and exterior walls. Priced at £4/m², minimum job size £140 (40m²). No harsh chemicals - safe for pets and plants. See our patio cleaning price guide for South East London if you want a budget estimate first.
Before/after of a decking project with Urban Gardeners.
Softwood, hardwood, and composite options available. A small softwood deck (up to 12m²) starts at around £960-1,920. Larger or more complex structures are quoted after a free survey. For a full breakdown of costs by size and material, see our decking cost guide for South East London.
Woolwich SE18 is a mixed area and that mixture shows up in its gardens. Different property types, different soil conditions depending on where you are in the postcode, and a significant number of rental properties where outdoor spaces have been neglected for longer than anyone would like to admit.
The newer developments near the riverside and Arsenal station tend to have smaller, paved or low-maintenance rear spaces that need cleaning, minor repairs, and occasional clearance rather than heavy landscaping. The older Victorian and Edwardian terraces further from the river have longer, narrower gardens with more established planting, older fencing, and clay-heavy soil underneath.
We work on both types regularly. The approach, the groundwork, and the materials differ significantly between a compact new-build terrace and a deep Victorian garden - we adjust to what the property actually needs rather than offering the same solution to everyone.
Like most of SE London, Woolwich sits on London clay. This makes lawns prone to moss, waterlogging in winter, and hard compacted ground in summer. If your grass is patchy, yellowing, or spongy in wet weather, the soil is almost always part of the reason. We've written about dealing with poor drainage in South East London gardens if you want to understand your options.
We account for clay soil in all our turfing, lawn care, and landscaping work in SE18. Proper ground preparation before laying turf or paving is the difference between a garden that holds up and one that needs redoing within a couple of years.
A significant proportion of Woolwich properties are rented. Landlords often need clearance and maintenance services to get gardens into a presentable state between tenancies, or to maintain them throughout a tenancy to avoid bigger costs at the end. We work with landlords and property managers across SE18 regularly - fast turnaround on quotes, reliable attendance, and clear invoicing.
If you manage a property in Woolwich and need a gardening team you can call on regularly, get in touch and we can discuss a maintenance schedule that works for the property.
Parts of SE18 closer to the Thames and the former Arsenal site have soil that has been significantly altered over the decades - made ground, heavy fill, and areas where topsoil quality is poor. If you're planning turfing or planting in these areas and previous attempts haven't taken well, soil quality is likely the reason. A free survey lets us assess what's actually there and quote accordingly.
We cover all of SE18 and the surrounding areas. If you're just outside Woolwich, we're likely already working near you.
