Brockley gardens often have huge potential, especially around SE4 where period homes come with generous plots. Whether you’re near Brockley Market or walking distance to Hilly Fields, we create back gardens that work for real life—dining, play, planting and privacy. Our builds can include patios, decking, new lawns, planting schemes and smart lighting. The result is a garden that looks great year-round and is easy to maintain.
We regularly work on Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions across Brockley, Honor Oak and Crofton Park. These properties can bring quirks such as narrow side access, stepped levels, and older boundary lines that need careful setting-out. We design around existing brickwork, basements and extensions to keep everything proportionate. If your garden feels shaded, overlooked or uneven, we’ll plan layout and planting to solve it.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear design proposal, followed by a staged build plan you can rely on. We handle groundwork, drainage, edging, structures, fencing, planting and finishing details so the garden feels cohesive. You’ll get transparent specifications, tidy working practices and regular updates from a dedicated project lead. Homeowners choose us for back garden landscaping Brockley area projects because we combine premium materials with consistent, accountable workmanship.
Back gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham often sit on mixed London clay, so we prioritise drainage, stable sub-bases and the right planting choices. Access can be tight behind Victorian terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and protection for hallways and side returns. Parking controls and neighbour proximity near New Cross and Ladywell mean considerate scheduling and clean site management. We also match materials to period features so new work looks settled, not bolted on.

Most projects in Brockley take 1–3 weeks for smaller gardens and 3–8 weeks for larger, multi-element builds. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage requirements, access through terraces, and how many features you choose (patios, decking, fencing, lighting, structures and planting). Weather can affect groundwork and paving. We agree a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated if anything changes.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, decking at ground level, fencing (within height limits) and planting. Permission may be needed for taller structures, significant raised decking, outbuildings, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also apply to drainage and where water is discharged. We flag likely requirements early and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving, decking sub-structures, retaining details and installed fencing, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting, composite decking and specific paving ranges, and we pass those on to you. We also give clear care guidance for lawns and planting. Any snagging issues are addressed promptly after completion.
We tailor designs to your home and how you use the space. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or hardwood decking, premium turf or seeded lawns, contemporary slatted fencing, pergolas and built-in seating, plus low-voltage lighting for paths and steps. Water features can be subtle rills or compact fountains for smaller gardens. We bring samples, propose layouts, and help you choose finishes that suit period properties and modern extensions alike.
