Chislehurst’s green setting near Chislehurst Common makes outdoor space a real asset for care settings. We design gardens that encourage gentle movement, social time and quiet reflection, with clear routes and places to pause. From memory gardens to sensory borders, every element is planned to be easy to use and reassuring. Work across BR7 is scheduled to minimise disruption to residents and routines.
Properties in Chislehurst range from large detached houses to Victorian villas and other period properties, and many care homes operate from adapted buildings with mature gardens. We’re used to working around established trees, sloping plots and existing patios that need safer transitions. Our team also supports projects across nearby Elmstead and Mottingham when families want continuity of design. The result is a garden that feels settled and familiar, not clinical.
We start with a site visit, risk-aware design notes and a clear plan for access and safeguarding during works. You’ll receive transparent options for pathways, handrails, shade structures and safe boundaries, with materials chosen for grip and longevity. Our installations are built to cope with year-round use, and we keep communication tight from start to finish. Many clients choose us because we deliver tidy, considerate workmanship and dependable aftercare.
In the London Borough of Bromley, we often encounter clay-heavy soils that need improved drainage and robust edging. Chislehurst plots can include mature roots and level changes, so we design gradients carefully and specify stable sub-bases for paths. Access and parking can be tighter near landmarks like Chislehurst Caves, so deliveries and waste removal are planned to keep entrances clear. We also consider conservation sensitivities around older buildings and boundary treatments.

Costs vary with access, levels and how much hard landscaping is needed. As a guide, smaller upgrades (raised beds, seating, planting refresh and minor path repairs) often start around £3,000–£8,000. A more comprehensive scheme with new accessible pathways, handrails, safe boundaries and shade structures typically falls between £12,000–£35,000+. We provide itemised options so you can phase improvements if needed.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and surfacing. A light-touch refresh with planting, raised beds and seating can be completed in a few days to a week. Full accessibility works—new paths, drainage, handrails, boundary upgrades and shade structures—usually take longer. Timescales are affected by weather, curing time for bases, delivery lead times and safeguarding requirements.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, especially planting, raised beds and like-for-like path replacements. However, permission can be needed for certain boundary heights, structures, lighting, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We check constraints relevant to care settings, review Bromley guidance where applicable, and can help prepare drawings or specifications for any required approvals. We’ll flag this early, before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as failed sub-bases, loose edging, and installation defects on paths, steps and structural elements installed by us. Manufacturer guarantees apply separately to products like paving, handrails and shade structures. Planting is living material, so it’s covered through an agreed establishment period with aftercare guidance. We also offer maintenance plans to protect the investment long-term.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and the character of the site. Popular options include resin-bound or textured porcelain for accessible pathways, brick or stone edging, timber or composite raised beds, and powder-coated metal handrails. Sensory planting can feature scented shrubs, soft grasses and high-contrast seasonal colour, while memory gardens may include familiar cottage plants and clear wayfinding. We bring samples, discuss cleaning and slip resistance, then specify the best-fit palette.
