Blackheath gardens often deserve the same care as the beautiful streets around Blackheath Common and Blackheath Village. We design and build complete back garden transformations—patios for entertaining, lush lawns for families, and planting schemes with year-round structure. Whether you want a calm retreat or a sociable space, we plan the layout so every metre works harder. Expect clean lines, quality materials, and a finish that complements local architecture.
Our team regularly works across SE3 and nearby Greenwich, Lee and Kidbrooke, where plot shapes, levels and access can vary street by street. Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas often call for sympathetic detailing, while period conversions may need clever zoning to maximise space. We’re experienced with drainage, retaining edges and discreet storage solutions that keep smaller gardens practical. The result is a garden that looks established, not newly “installed”.
We start with a site visit to understand how you use the garden, then produce a clear design and itemised proposal. Installation is handled by our in-house specialists for patios, decking, lawns, planting, fencing, structures, lighting and water features, with tidy working practices throughout. You’ll get a realistic programme, regular updates, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Many Blackheath homeowners choose us for consistent standards and reliable aftercare.
Back gardens here can include mature trees, shaded corners and clay-heavy ground, so we design with drainage, root zones and soil improvement in mind. Access routes through period properties can be tight, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and protection for hallways and side returns. We also factor in parking constraints and any council considerations across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham. Our approach keeps projects efficient without compromising finish.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple refresh with new turf, planting and minor repairs may start from £3,000–£8,000. A mid-range redesign with patio or decking, new fencing and lighting often falls around £12,000–£30,000. Full transformations with structures, drainage works and water features commonly range from £30,000–£80,000+ for larger SE3 gardens.
Most projects take 1–2 weeks for smaller upgrades and 3–6 weeks for a full rebuild with hard landscaping, fencing and planting. Larger gardens or complex schemes with retaining, drainage, bespoke structures or water features can run 6–10+ weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing time for bases and paving, and lead times for specialist materials. We provide a clear programme before work starts.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, planting and most fencing (within height limits). However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, significant structures, or works affecting drainage and boundaries. We flag likely constraints early and can advise on what may need approval. If permissions or party wall matters apply, we’ll help you plan the right steps before installation.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation standards on key elements such as patios, bases, edging, decking subframes, fencing installation and built structures, subject to normal use and care. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting fixtures, composite boards or pumps for water features. We also provide maintenance guidance so lawns, planting and finishes establish properly and perform as intended.
We tailor designs to your home and how you entertain. Popular choices include porcelain paving for crisp terraces, sandstone for a softer period feel, and timber or composite decking for level changes. Planting can range from architectural evergreens to cottage-style borders, with pleached screening for privacy. We also install pergolas, built-in seating, subtle LED lighting and rills or pondless features. We’ll guide you through samples and layout options on site.
