Patios, Decking & Landscaping in Upper Holloway
In Upper Holloway and across Islington we are most often asked for rear extensions on Georgian and Victorian terraces and paved courtyard gardens. Barnsbury, Canonbury and the area around Angel are made up of Georgian and early Victorian terraces and squares, many of them listed. Further north in Holloway, Tufnell Park and Archway the houses are later Victorian and frequently divided into flats, while Clerkenwell has converted warehouses and workshops.
Patios & Gardens in Upper Holloway
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.

Planning and the council
Conservation areas cover a large part of Islington and the council pays close attention to rooflines, rear extensions and windows on its terraces. Gardens are small and access is often through the house, which is worth raising at the design stage.

FAQ
Patios & Gardens in Upper Holloway
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out patios, decking & landscaping in Upper Holloway?
Yes. Upper Holloway is in Islington, where we work every week alongside Angel, Highbury, Holloway and Archway.
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.
