Keston's generous plot sizes deserve gardens that match their potential. From the leafy streets near the Common to newer developments, every back garden tells its own story.
Response within 24 hours
Back gardens in Keston face unique challenges - mature oak roots from surrounding woodland, clay-heavy soil, and those tricky sloping plots common to BR2. Years of working with properties from Victorian villas to 1930s semis has taught us that cookie-cutter solutions simply don't work here. Each garden requires careful consideration of drainage, existing trees, and how you actually want to use your outdoor space.
The process starts with understanding your garden's natural characteristics. Soil testing reveals pH levels and composition, while surveying identifies gradient changes that might need terracing or clever planting schemes. Design development considers everything from where morning sun hits to how rainwater naturally flows across your plot. Installation happens in phases, minimising disruption to established plants worth keeping.
Local knowledge matters when dealing with Keston's protected trees and conservation considerations. Having transformed gardens throughout BR2 for over a decade, relationships with local suppliers and understanding of planning requirements streamline every project.

Absolutely - from properties backing onto Keston Common to homes near Hayes Wood, all of BR2 falls within our regular working area. This includes neighbouring spots like Locksbottom and the Farnborough side too.
Most Keston gardens take 2-4 weeks from breaking ground to final planting. Larger projects involving level changes or extensive hardscaping might extend to 6 weeks, particularly if we're working around TPO trees.
All structural elements - patios, walls, paths - carry decade-long protection against defects. Plants come with a 12-month establishment guarantee, assuming proper aftercare. This comprehensive coverage reflects confidence in both materials and craftsmanship.
Preserving established planting often creates the best results. Mature trees provide instant impact impossible to replicate, while existing shrubs can be relocated or pruned to fit new designs. TPO checks and careful root protection ensure healthy integration with new landscaping elements.
