A well-planned care home garden supports mobility, confidence and daily routines, while giving residents a pleasant place to spend time outdoors. In West Wickham, we build inclusive spaces with accessible pathways, handrails, safe boundaries and shaded seating. Whether you’re close to West Wickham High Street or near Sparrows Den, we tailor layouts to the site and the people who use it. Every detail is chosen to reduce trip risks and encourage gentle activity.
The West Wickham area includes many 1930s semis and detached houses, alongside modern developments, so access and levels can vary widely. We’re used to working with side passages, sloping lawns and mixed boundary types common across BR4. For care settings, we prioritise clear routes, turning circles for wheelchairs, and raised beds at comfortable heights. Planting plans are designed to look good year-round without becoming high maintenance.
We start with a site survey and a practical design that considers mobility needs, supervision lines and maintenance capacity. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, tidy working practices, and reliable scheduling—our team is based just 25 minutes away. We use proven construction methods for paths, edging and handrails, and we keep communication simple for managers and families. The result is a garden that works beautifully and stays safe over time.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, we often find clay-heavy soils and lawns that hold water in winter, so we design drainage and path foundations accordingly. West Wickham properties can have narrow side access and shared driveways, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider nearby green edges towards Coney Hall and Spring Park when choosing wind-tolerant planting. Our approach adapts to each site’s levels, boundaries and day-to-day care routines.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small upgrade (paths, a few raised beds and seating) often starts around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-sized refurbishments with accessible paving, handrails, sensory planting and safe boundaries are commonly £10,000–£25,000. Larger projects including shade structures, memory garden features and extensive groundworks can be £25,000–£60,000+. We provide itemised options to match budgets.
Timescales depend on ground conditions, access and how much construction is involved. A light refresh with planting, a small seating area and a couple of raised beds can take 3–7 working days. Projects that include new accessible pathways, handrails, boundary works and multiple zones typically take 2–4 weeks. Larger schemes with drainage, shade structures and phased working around residents may take 4–8 weeks. We agree a programme before starting.
Most garden improvements—paths, raised beds, planting, seating and typical fencing—are usually permitted development. However, rules can apply if you’re changing boundary heights, adding large shade structures, altering levels significantly, or if the site has restrictions. We check practical requirements such as drainage, visibility and safe access, and we can advise on whether you should speak to the London Borough of Bromley planning team. Compliance is built into the design from the outset.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping elements such as paving installations, retaining edges and structural construction of raised beds (subject to correct use and maintenance). Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and we use appropriate sub-bases and fixings for accessibility. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently, but we’ll advise on aftercare and replacement options. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and clearly.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and the look you want. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured porcelain for smoother access, sandstone for a softer feel, and timber or composite raised beds with rounded edges. Sensory planting can include lavender, rosemary, grasses and winter-interest shrubs, while memory gardens often use familiar cottage-style plants and simple focal points. We help you choose finishes based on slip resistance, maintenance, shade and budget, then produce a clear plan before work begins.
