Blackheath’s green outlook and village feel make outdoor space a real asset for residents and visiting families. We create therapeutic gardens close to Blackheath Common and around SE3 properties, balancing beauty with practical safety. Expect clear routes, gentle planting and places to pause, talk and reflect. Our gardens are planned to reduce trip risks while encouraging daily time outdoors.
Many sites in the care home gardens Blackheath area sit within Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions, where levels, steps and narrow side access are common. We’re used to working around mature trees, boundary walls and heritage details, especially near Blackheath Village and The Paragon. Designs can be sympathetic to period architecture while still meeting modern accessibility needs. Raised beds, handrails and well-positioned seating help residents garden and move comfortably.
We start with a site survey and a clear, resident-friendly layout: accessible pathways, safe boundaries and calm zones for rest. You’ll receive a detailed specification, transparent options and a tidy, respectful build programme with safeguarding-aware site habits. We quality-check levels, drainage and fixings, then provide aftercare guidance for planting and surfaces. Local clients trust us for consistent communication, durable materials and a finish that stays safe year-round.
Across Blackheath, Greenwich and Lee, we often find compact plots, mature roots and restricted parking. We plan deliveries and waste removal to suit local streets and council requirements, keeping disruption low. Ground conditions can vary from free-draining areas to heavier patches, so we specify the right sub-bases, edging and drainage. Our designs also respect period façades and boundary treatments common in SE3.

Costs depend on access, levels and the features you choose. As a guide, a small safety-and-access refresh (path repairs, handrails, seating) may start from £3,000–£8,000. A mid-sized garden with new accessible pathways, raised beds and sensory planting is often £10,000–£25,000. Larger schemes with shade structures, secure boundaries and memory-garden detailing can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for smaller gardens and 3–8 weeks for larger, more complex builds. Timescales vary with groundworks, drainage, retaining edges, and how many accessibility elements are included. Restricted access near period buildings can slow material movement, and planting seasons can affect availability. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated if weather or lead times change.
Most garden improvements—paths, raised beds, planting, seating and low boundaries—are usually permitted development. However, rules can change if the property is listed, within a conservation area, or if you’re adding taller fencing, lighting, or substantial structures. For care home gardens in Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we’ll flag likely constraints early and can help you check with the relevant council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, raised bed structures, fixings and handrails (subject to normal use and maintenance). Materials are covered by the manufacturer’s guarantees where applicable. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, misuse, or extreme weather events, but we’re always happy to advise on repairs and ongoing safety checks.
We tailor designs to residents’ needs and the site’s character. Popular options include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, brick or timber raised beds, sensory planting palettes (fragrance, texture, seasonal colour), and robust benches with arms for easier standing. Memory gardens can include familiar cottage plants, plaques or themed borders. We’ll guide choices based on maintenance levels, durability and slip resistance.
