A well-planned outdoor space can transform daily life for residents, visitors and staff. Our care home gardens in the Penge area are built around safe movement, clear wayfinding and places to pause. Whether you’re near Penge High Street or a short walk from Alexandra Recreation Ground, we tailor layouts to the site and the people using it. The result is a garden that’s practical to maintain and genuinely uplifting to spend time in.
Penge’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often comes with compact plots, level changes and shared access routes. We’re based just 15 minutes away, so we can survey quickly and plan around tight side returns, narrow gates and service access. For properties across SE20, we design solutions that maximise usable space without clutter. That includes raised beds for comfortable gardening, seating areas with good sightlines, and safe boundaries that look welcoming rather than institutional.
Our process starts with a listening-led design visit, followed by a clear plan covering accessibility, planting and long-term maintenance. We install accessible pathways, handrails, shade structures and memory gardens with careful attention to slip resistance, drainage and durability. You’ll receive transparent scheduling, tidy workmanship and respectful site conduct around residents. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally because we deliver consistent quality and stand behind our work with a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Bromley, we’re used to mixed ground conditions, mature tree roots and drainage challenges common around SE20. Access can be tight near Penge East station, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design with local property layouts in mind, including long, narrow gardens and shared pathways. Every detail is adapted to safe circulation and straightforward maintenance.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small upgrade (new seating area, planting refresh, minor path repairs) often starts around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-size redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds and lighting typically falls between £8,000–£20,000. Larger schemes with multiple zones, handrails, shade structures and secure boundaries can be £25,000–£60,000+. We provide itemised options to match budget and needs.
Most projects take 1–4 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A simple refresh with planting, raised beds and a small seating area may be completed in 3–7 working days. Full redesigns with new accessible pathways, drainage improvements, handrails, fencing and shade structures usually take 2–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, safeguarding requirements, weather, lead times for materials, and any groundwork needed.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, patios, paths, raised beds and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary treatments, significant level changes, or structures like large pergolas and canopies. We’ll flag anything that may need consent and can liaise with the London Borough of Bromley guidance where relevant. Our aim is to keep the project compliant and hassle-free.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, raised bed structures, steps, handrails fixings and boundary works, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. Soft landscaping (plants and turf) is more variable due to weather and aftercare, but we’ll advise on watering and maintenance and can offer ongoing garden care plans.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and the character of the site. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured porcelain for accessible pathways, brick or timber raised beds, and sensory planting with herbs, grasses and high-contrast colour. Seating can range from benches with arms to sheltered pergolas or shade sails. Memory gardens may include themed planting, familiar objects and clear looped routes. We guide you through samples, maintenance levels and safety considerations.
