Patios, Decking & Landscaping in Poplar
In Poplar and across Tower Hamlets we are most often asked for restoration of Georgian and Victorian terraces. Flats make up most of the housing: post-war and inter-war council estates across Stepney, Poplar and Bethnal Green, converted warehouses in Wapping and Limehouse, and high-rise apartments on the Isle of Dogs. Houses are fewer, mainly early Georgian terraces in Spitalfields and Victorian terraces in Bow and around Victoria Park.
Patios & Gardens in Poplar
A garden you will actually use.
London gardens are small, overlooked and often badly drained. Good hard landscaping fixes all three. We build patios, decks, walls and garden rooms that make a narrow plot feel like another room of the house.

- DeckingHardwood, softwood and composite decking on a properly ventilated frame.
- Fencing & garden wallsClose-board and slatted fencing, brick walls, raised beds and retaining walls.

Homes in Tower Hamlets
Flats make up most of the housing: post-war and inter-war council estates across Stepney, Poplar and Bethnal Green, converted warehouses in Wapping and Limehouse, and high-rise apartments on the Isle of Dogs. Houses are fewer, mainly early Georgian terraces in Spitalfields and Victorian terraces in Bow and around Victoria Park.
Planning and the council
Works to flats need planning permission for most external changes and usually a licence from the freeholder or managing agent as well. The older terraces in Spitalfields, Bow and Bethnal Green are often listed or in conservation areas.

FAQ
Patios & Gardens in Poplar
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out patios, decking & landscaping in Poplar?
Yes. Poplar is in Tower Hamlets, where we work every week alongside Bethnal Green, Bow, Stepney and Whitechapel.
Porcelain or natural stone?
Porcelain is consistent, stain-resistant and very low maintenance. Natural stone has more character and weathers over time. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see both against your brickwork.
Will a new patio cause damp?
Not if it is built correctly. We keep the finished level at least 150mm below the damp-proof course, or add a drainage channel against the wall where that is not possible.
Does a garden room need planning permission?
Most garden rooms are permitted development if they are single-storey, under 2.5m high near a boundary, and not used as a separate dwelling. Flats and some conservation areas are exceptions. We check before you commit.
