Commercial properties across SE23 face unique challenges – from the steep gradients typical of Forest Hill to the mix of period conversions and modern developments. Smart landscaping solutions enhance kerb appeal whilst managing practical concerns like drainage and accessibility. The right approach balances aesthetic impact with maintenance efficiency, particularly crucial for busy commercial sites.
Strategic planting schemes work harder than decorative borders alone. Living walls maximise limited ground space, whilst sustainable drainage systems handle Forest Hill's hillside run-off effectively. Materials selection considers both visual impact and longevity – porcelain paving withstands heavy footfall better than traditional options, while native plant varieties thrive despite urban pollution. Lighting integration extends usable hours for hospitality venues, creating atmosphere whilst ensuring safety compliance.
Twenty years working across Forest Hill means understanding which solutions actually last through South London winters. Local knowledge matters – knowing which suppliers deliver reliably to SE23, which plants cope with shade from neighbouring buildings, and how to navigate planning considerations specific to conservation areas.

Most SE23 commercial schemes range from £15,000-£80,000, depending on scope. Small retail frontages might need £15,000-£25,000, whilst comprehensive office garden redesigns typically sit between £40,000-£80,000. Larger developments or complex terracing projects can exceed this.
Absolutely – from the business units along the South Circular to office conversions in residential streets, plus neighbouring commercial areas in Sydenham, Honor Oak and Dulwich. Each location brings different considerations regarding access and working hours.
Smaller frontage improvements often finish within 2-3 weeks. Comprehensive redesigns usually need 6-10 weeks, factoring in groundworks and planting establishment. Phased approaches minimise business disruption – completing sections progressively keeps premises operational.
All hardscaping elements carry decade-long protection against defects. Plant establishment receives two-year coverage with replacement guarantees. Irrigation systems and lighting installations include comprehensive five-year warranties covering parts and labour.
Definitely – Forest Hill's topography creates significant water management challenges. Permeable surfaces, rain gardens and strategic grading redirect water effectively. French drains and soakaways prevent waterlogging whilst meeting sustainable drainage regulations. These solutions protect building foundations whilst enhancing the landscape aesthetically.
