About Vertalan Landscapes

We are a small, insured landscaping company based in London. Our focus is practical, low-maintenance gardens: from design and paving to planting and ongoing care. We work transparently, provide written quotes, and keep sites clean and safe.

Our story

Vertalan Landscapes started with a simple idea: London gardens should be beautiful, practical, and easy to maintain. We began by helping neighbours transform small city courtyards into usable spaces. Word spread, and the team grew—carefully—around shared standards of workmanship and clear communication.

Today, we design and build patios and pathways, install fencing and decking, renovate lawns, and maintain gardens across Greater London. We bring the same care to every project: tidy sites, respectful crews, and solutions that last beyond the first season.
