Based in nearby Hounslow, Acacia Gardens has been one of the most trusted garden landscaping companies serving Richmond and South West London for nearly four decades. Our team works regularly throughout Richmond Hill, Kew, Petersham, Ham, and East Sheen, delivering complete garden transformations for residential properties and commercial developments across the TW9 and TW10 postcode areas.
Richmond’s distinctive mix of period properties, riverside homes, and large mature gardens makes it one of the most rewarding areas we work in. Many properties benefit from significant outdoor space with established trees, mature hedgerows, and generous lawns — all of which require experienced handling during landscaping works. Our qualified team understands how to work sensitively with existing features whilst creating fresh, functional outdoor environments that genuinely enhance Richmond properties.
Every landscaping project we undertake in Richmond begins with a free site visit and consultation. We assess the ground conditions, drainage, access, and any planning considerations relevant to the Richmond upon Thames borough before providing a detailed written quotation. We manage the entire project from groundworks through to final planting and aftercare — so you have one professional team responsible for the complete installation from start to finish.
Our hard landscaping services for Richmond properties include patio installation using natural stone, porcelain, Indian sandstone, limestone, and granite, pathways and garden access routes with appropriate edging and drainage, retaining walls and raised beds for level changes, steps and terracing to manage slopes across Richmond’s varied terrain, and decorative features including rockeries and architectural elements. All hard landscaping is installed with proper sub-base preparation ensuring long-lasting, stable surfaces that won’t sink or crack.
Soft landscaping services include premium turf installation with full ground preparation and aftercare guidance, artificial grass for low-maintenance lawns, comprehensive planting schemes featuring trees, shrubs, perennials, and seasonal displays suited to Richmond’s soil conditions and microclimate, topsoil improvement and mulching for healthy long-term plant growth, wildflower seeding for sustainable biodiversity, and hedge planting for privacy and wildlife habitat along Richmond’s many boundary lines.
We install timber and composite decking for outdoor living and entertaining, close board and panel fencing, gates for vehicular and pedestrian access, pergolas and arbours for shelter and architectural interest, raised vegetable beds, and children’s play area integration — all designed to complement Richmond’s varied property styles from Victorian terraces to modern riverside developments.
Water Features, Lighting & Drainage Richmond
Specialist landscaping services include garden ponds, fountains, and water features, outdoor lighting systems for security and ambience, irrigation systems for efficient lawn and border watering, and drainage solutions including soakaways and French drains — particularly important on Richmond’s lower-lying riverside plots where surface water management is a common consideration.

Landscaping in the Richmond upon Thames borough requires more care around planning than many other areas of South West London. A significant number of properties and streets sit within designated conservation areas, and the borough contains a high density of Tree Preservation Orders protecting mature trees across Richmond Hill, Kew Green, and the riverside. Our RIBA qualified landscape designers assess all planning constraints during the initial site visit, ensuring your project is designed correctly from the outset with no unexpected delays.
Drainage is another important consideration for Richmond landscaping projects. Properties close to the Thames in areas such as Petersham and Ham can be subject to surface water challenges, and any new hard landscaping must be designed with appropriate permeable surfaces or drainage channels to meet planning requirements and prevent runoff issues. We include drainage assessment as standard on every Richmond project.
Our experience across Richmond also means we’re familiar with the access constraints that affect many properties in the area — narrow rear access, mature boundary hedges, and restricted parking for delivery vehicles. We plan logistics carefully in advance, use appropriate equipment for tight access situations, and coordinate material deliveries to minimise disruption to you and your neighbours throughout the landscaping works.
Getting started with Acacia Gardens for your Richmond landscaping project is straightforward. We begin with a free site visit at a time convenient to you, where we assess the ground conditions, drainage, access, existing features, and any planning considerations specific to your Richmond property. We discuss your vision, requirements, and budget in detail, and take measurements and photographs to inform the quotation.
Following the site visit we provide a detailed written quotation with a transparent breakdown of all materials, labour, groundworks, and timescales. There are no hidden costs — everything is itemised clearly so you know exactly what is included before any work begins. We are happy to discuss the quotation, answer questions, and adjust the scope to match your budget where possible.
Once the quotation is accepted we schedule a project start date and arrange all material deliveries in advance. Our installation team arrives on time with all necessary equipment and works systematically through each phase of the project — from initial clearance and groundworks through to final planting, turfing, and finishing touches. We keep the site tidy throughout, communicate progress regularly, and manage waste removal responsibly with recycling where possible.
On completion we conduct a full walkthrough with you, provide aftercare guidance for new lawns, plants, and materials, and leave your Richmond property clean and immaculate. All workmanship is covered by a written guarantee, and we offer optional ongoing garden maintenance contracts to keep your newly landscaped garden looking its best throughout the seasons.

Most garden landscaping in Richmond does not require planning permission — including patios, standard fencing, turfing, planting, and most garden structures within permitted development limits. However, the Richmond upon Thames borough has a high number of conservation areas and Tree Preservation Orders. Planning permission or a TPO application may be required if your project involves significant ground level changes, boundary walls over 2 metres, structures above permitted development limits, or any work affecting or near a protected tree. Our RIBA qualified landscape architects assess all planning requirements during your free initial consultation and can liaise with Richmond upon Thames Council where necessary to ensure full compliance.
Timescales depend on project scope and complexity. Small projects such as patio installations or turfing typically take 3–5 days. Medium garden renovations with multiple elements usually require 1–3 weeks. Comprehensive landscaping projects with hard and soft landscaping, structures, and features may take 4–8 weeks. We provide accurate timelines in all written quotations, keep you informed of progress throughout, and work efficiently to minimise disruption to your household. For most Richmond residential projects we aim to start within 4–6 weeks of quotation acceptance. Call 020 8577 3795 for availability.
