Small Garden Landscaping London and Hertfordshire

Maximising Your Compact Garden

At Acacia Gardens, we offer tailored small garden landscaping throughout London (North London), Greater London, and Hertfordshire (St Albans). Transforming compact gardens into beautiful, functional and liveable outdoor areas is our speciality. Whether we’re working with a narrow back garden in Hampstead or a shaded courtyard in Crouch End, our experienced in-house team can design and build your landscape to suit your lifestyle and enhance your home. We provide a seamless approach to complete garden makeovers. If you already have a garden design, we can assist with landscape construction or handle standalone projects, such as patio installation.

Landscape Design and Construction for Small Gardens

Acacia Gardens provides a comprehensive garden design and build service to bring your small garden landscaping vision to life. Our trusted team will manage everything from the initial design brief through to detailed construction and final planting. Whether you dream of a low-maintenance outdoor room, a secluded city retreat, or a compact garden designed for entertaining, our team brings creativity and expertise to every project.

We specialise in making small gardens feel more spacious, more liveable and better connected to the home. Our in-house garden designers are skilled at working with restricted footprints, awkward level changes, areas with limited sunlight and spaces that are overlooked by neighbouring properties. By combining hard landscaping elements, such as patios, rendered walls, built-in seating and stone pathways, with soft landscaping features like structured planting, raised beds, screening, and lighting, we create compact gardens that feel calm, balanced, secluded and welcoming.

Small Garden Landscape Contractor

If you already have a garden design in place, we can handle the landscape construction. Acacia Gardens is a trusted landscape contractor working alongside some of the best garden designers in London and Hertfordshire. We are recognised for our ability to interpret plans with precision, ensuring that the final result aligns with the creative vision while providing practical insights during the build process to support the overall success of the design.

When you hire Acacia Gardens, you hire the best in landscape construction at competitive prices. Our award-winning in-house team carries out all construction, the same trusted professionals responsible for delivering medal-winning show gardens at the RHS Chelsea and RHS Hampton Court shows.

Smaller Standalone Landscaping Projects

Not every garden needs to be completely reimagined. If your outdoor space is already in place but feels tired or disjointed, we offer partial landscaping services to help improve its function and appearance. This might include a new terrace, screening from your neighbours, a feature water element, refreshed planting or the addition of outdoor lighting, all carefully considered to sit well with your existing scheme.

These compact garden enhancements are a cost-effective way to upgrade your outdoor space and can be carried out as a single project or in phases. Our in-house designers are available to guide layout decisions and material choices, ensuring new additions are cohesive, practical and tailored to your needs.
