Honor Oak gardens often come with slopes, long plots and overlooked boundaries, so good design matters. We create outdoor spaces that work for daily use and entertaining, whether you’re near One Tree Hill or a short walk from Honor Oak Park station. Expect crisp paving lines, tidy finishes and planting that looks great across the seasons. Every build is tailored to how you want to use the space.
Our team knows the back gardens behind Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses around SE23, as well as the wider plots of 1930s semis. We plan layouts that suit narrow side access, shared alleyways and existing extensions or garden rooms. If you want a low-maintenance family garden, we’ll balance durable surfaces with soft planting. For view-facing plots, we can frame sightlines without sacrificing privacy.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design plan covering levels, drainage and materials. You’ll receive a detailed scope of works, realistic timescales and tidy site management from start to finish. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, and we only use proven materials and proper sub-bases. Local homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly and deliver what’s agreed.
The Honor Oak area’s hilly terrain means we pay close attention to retaining edges, falls and drainage. Many homes have narrow access and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to reduce disruption. We also consider boundary lines, shared fences and mature trees common near Camberwell Old Cemetery. For back garden landscaping in London Borough of Lewisham, we build to suit local conditions and property layouts.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of features. As a guide in SE23, a small refresh (new turf, planting, edging) may start around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-size rebuild with patio, fencing and lighting is often £8,000–£20,000. Full transformations with decking, structures and water features can be £20,000–£50,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks, depending on complexity. A straightforward patio and lawn can be completed in 5–10 working days, while multi-level gardens with steps, fencing, lighting and planting often take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, ground conditions, drainage changes, curing times for concrete, and bespoke items such as pergolas or joinery. We confirm a programme before work starts.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, decking at low height, fencing within standard limits, and planting. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near protected trees, adding large outbuildings, or your home is listed or in a conservation area. We flag likely constraints during the survey and can advise on Lewisham requirements, drainage compliance and any permissions needed before construction begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for core landscaping elements such as paving sub-bases, laying, edging, drainage installation and structural build quality. This covers defects caused by installation issues, not normal wear, accidental damage or lack of maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting, composite decking or pumps. We also supply care guidance so your patio, lawn and planting establish properly.
We offer a wide range of options to match your home and budget, from porcelain or sandstone patios to timber or composite decking. Lawns can be premium turf or high-quality artificial grass, with planting schemes ranging from low-maintenance evergreens to pollinator-friendly borders. We install fencing, pergolas, built-in seating, garden lighting and water features. We’ll bring samples, discuss style preferences, and design around levels, privacy and how you use the space.
