Quick answer
Builderr designs and landscapes gardens across Hammersmith and Fulham (SW6, W6, W12, W14), where Victorian terraces in Fulham and Hammersmith have rear gardens of 30–70 m² and the borough's prime riverside properties along the Thames corridor require SuDs-compliant drainage design. Garden landscaping costs range from £8,000–£35,000 for a compact terrace scheme; premium properties in Fulham with outdoor kitchens, water features and lighting reach £60,000–£90,000. Build programmes are 2–5 weeks. Parts of SW6 and W6 close to the Thames are in Flood Zone 2 or 3 — hard landscaping on those plots requires a SuDs drainage design to prevent surface water run-off, and impermeable paving over 5 m² in front gardens requires planning consent under permitted development rules.
Thames-adjacent gardens in SW6 and W6 within Flood Zone 2 or 3 need SuDs drainage — permeable paving, soakaways or rain gardens — to satisfy Environment Agency and planning requirements. Builderr includes a flood zone check and drainage design in the scope for all Hammersmith riverside projects.
