We design and build supportive outdoor spaces for care settings across Sidcup, from quiet courtyards to larger grounds. Whether you’re near Queen Mary’s Hospital or closer to Foots Cray Meadows, we plan gardens that encourage gentle movement and meaningful time outdoors. Our layouts prioritise clear routes, comfortable rest points and planting that’s interesting in every season. The result is a garden residents and visitors can use with confidence.
The Sidcup area includes a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and modern developments, and care facilities often sit on similarly varied plots. We adapt designs to narrower side access, sloped lawns and existing mature trees that are common in DA14 and DA15. For compact spaces, we use raised beds and structured seating to maximise usability. For larger grounds, we create zoned areas so residents can choose shade, sun or quiet corners.
Our process starts with a site survey, risk-aware design and a clear plan for accessibility features such as handrails and safe boundaries. We schedule work to minimise disruption, keep walkways tidy, and communicate daily progress with managers or families. All builds are finished to a premium standard with durable materials chosen for low maintenance. Many clients choose us because we’re reliable, local, and we stand behind our workmanship.
In the London Borough of Bexley, we often encounter clay-heavy soils and shaded areas from established trees, so we specify drainage, edging and plant choices accordingly. Many Sidcup streets have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Where plots slope, we introduce gentle gradients, handrails and level seating pads. This approach suits everything from older properties to newer developments around Sidcup High Street.

Costs vary by size, access and the level of accessibility features required. As a guide, smaller upgrades (paths, a few raised beds, new seating) often start around £3,000–£8,000. Mid-sized refurbishments with multiple zones, handrails, safe boundaries and planting typically fall between £10,000–£25,000. Larger, fully reworked grounds with extensive paving, shade structures and memory garden features can be £30,000+.
Most projects take 1–6 weeks depending on scope. A simple refresh with new beds, planting and a small seating area can be completed in 3–7 days. Installing accessible pathways, handrails, boundaries and multiple raised beds usually takes 2–4 weeks. Larger sites with drainage works, shade structures or phased construction can run longer. Timescales are affected by access, weather, material lead times and safeguarding working hours.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, paths, low fencing and most seating areas. However, rules can change if you’re adding higher boundaries, lighting, large shade structures, significant level changes, or if the site has specific planning conditions. We’ll flag likely permissions early and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Bexley. We also design with accessibility and safety standards in mind.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as failed joints, unstable edging, or movement caused by incorrect installation. Materials (paving, timber, fixings and shade structures) are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also give clear maintenance guidance to protect surfaces and planting. If anything needs attention, we respond promptly and aim to resolve issues with minimal disruption to residents.
We tailor options to mobility needs, maintenance levels and the character of the site. Popular choices include resin-bound or smooth paving for accessible pathways, brick or timber raised beds, sensory planting with herbs and textured foliage, and robust benches with arms for easier standing. Memory gardens can include familiar cottage plants and simple wayfinding cues. We’ll bring samples, propose layouts, and recommend durable finishes suited to daily use.
