A well-planned garden can transform daily life in a care setting, encouraging gentle movement, conversation and quiet time outdoors. We design and build supportive spaces across Sevenoaks, from Riverhead to Dunton Green, with features that reduce trip risks and improve confidence. Whether you’re close to Knole House or near Sevenoaks High Street, we’ll create a layout that’s easy to navigate and pleasant in every season. Expect thoughtful detailing, robust materials and planting that supports wellbeing.
Sevenoaks properties often come with generous plots and established boundaries, especially around TN13 and TN14, where large detached houses and executive homes are common. We’re also experienced with period properties that need sensitive updates, keeping character while improving access. Gradients, steps and narrow side access are typical challenges, so we plan routes, levels and handrails from the outset. The result is a garden that looks premium but works brilliantly for mobility aids and carers.
Our process starts with a site visit to understand resident needs, supervision lines and maintenance capacity. We provide clear designs, phased options and a tidy, respectful build programme that minimises disruption. Every installation is finished to a high standard, with safety-first details such as non-slip surfaces, secure boundaries and well-positioned seating areas. Clients choose us for reliable communication, careful workmanship and a long-term approach to garden performance.
In the Sevenoaks District, clay-heavy soils and winter wet patches can affect drainage and path stability, so we specify suitable sub-bases and falls. Parking and access can vary from wide driveways to tighter approaches near older homes, so deliveries and waste removal are planned carefully. We also consider mature trees and root protection, especially around established gardens near Otford and Kemsing. Where needed, we align works with local guidance and keep boundaries secure throughout the build.

Costs vary with access needs, levels and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, small upgrades (handrails, safer paths, a seating area) often fall around £3,000–£8,000. A mid-sized redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds and sensory planting is commonly £10,000–£25,000. Larger projects with extensive paving, shade structures, lighting and secure boundaries can be £30,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and surfacing. Smaller improvements can be completed in a few days, while full redesigns with level changes, drainage, multiple seating areas and raised beds may take 4–6 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access for machinery, curing times for concrete bases, and plant availability. We agree a clear programme and keep disruption to residents as low as possible.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as paths, raised beds, planting and most seating areas. However, planning can be needed for larger structures, significant changes to levels, or works near boundaries, especially if the property is listed or within a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can help you check requirements with Sevenoaks District Council. Our designs also prioritise safety and accessibility standards.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, covering issues such as failed joints, poor laying, or structural defects caused by installation. Materials (paving, timber, handrails and fixings) are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll advise what’s best for heavy-use settings. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, accidental damage, or extreme weather events, but we’re always available to inspect and advise.
We tailor each design to mobility needs and the character of the property. Popular options include resin-bound or textured porcelain for accessible pathways, brick edging to suit period homes, and durable composite or hardwood seating. Raised beds can be timber, brick or rendered blockwork, and sensory planting can focus on fragrance, colour and tactile foliage. We also install memory gardens, shade structures and discreet safe boundaries. We’ll present samples and recommend low-maintenance, long-lasting choices.
