A well-planned care garden can transform daily routines into restorative moments outdoors. In Lewisham, we design spaces that are easy to navigate, calming to use and simple to maintain, with features such as handrails, safe boundaries and shade structures. Whether your site is near Lewisham station or closer to Ladywell, we tailor layouts to resident mobility and staff supervision needs. Every detail is chosen to reduce trip risks and encourage gentle activity.
The Lewisham area includes Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments, and care settings often inherit tight side access, mixed levels and compact courtyards. We adapt designs to suit smaller footprints in SE13 as well as larger plots near Mountsfield Park. Raised beds can be positioned for wheelchair access, while seating areas are placed to catch sun without glare. Planting plans balance seasonal interest with low-allergen, easy-care choices.
We start with a site survey, risk-aware design and clear specification, then schedule works to minimise disruption to residents. Our team handles groundwork, paving, carpentry and planting as one coordinated project, with tidy working practices and daily check-ins. You’ll receive a written scope, transparent options and a practical aftercare plan for staff or families. Local homeowners and care providers choose us for reliable timelines, considerate crews and lasting finishes.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham we often find clay-heavy soils, mature tree roots and level changes that affect drainage and access. We plan falls carefully, specify permeable options where suitable, and protect existing trees during works. Parking and deliveries can be tight around Lewisham Shopping Centre and busy routes, so we organise timed drop-offs and compact machinery. Our designs suit everything from converted period properties to newer developments with shared courtyards.

Costs vary by access, levels and the features required. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with safer surfaces, seating and sensory planting often starts around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-sized schemes with raised beds, handrails, lighting and improved drainage commonly fall between £10,000–£25,000. Larger, multi-zone gardens with shade structures, extensive paving and boundary upgrades can be £30,000+. We provide itemised options to match priorities and budgets.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once the design and materials are agreed. A compact space with straightforward paving and planting may be completed in 5–7 working days, while larger gardens with drainage, ramps, raised beds and bespoke seating can take 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing time for concrete bases, and lead times for specialist items such as handrails or shade structures. We schedule works to reduce disruption.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, most patios, raised beds and typical boundary repairs. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, significant boundary alterations, new structures over certain sizes, or changes affecting drainage to public sewers. We review your site, check constraints and advise what’s likely to need consent. If permissions or approvals are required, we can help with drawings and supporting information before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering defects caused by installation issues (such as unstable sub-bases, poor jointing or incorrect falls). Manufacturer warranties apply to products like paving, handrails and shade structures, and we pass those details on clearly. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently; we advise on care and can offer maintenance plans to keep the garden thriving long-term.
We tailor materials to safety, comfort and ease of maintenance. Popular choices include smooth, non-slip paving, resin-bound or permeable paths, timber or composite raised beds, and sturdy benches with arms for easier standing. Sensory planting can feature lavender, rosemary, grasses and winter-interest shrubs, while memory gardens may include familiar cottage plants and clear wayfinding. We guide you through options based on mobility needs, sun/shade patterns and staff maintenance capacity.
