Shortlands is known for large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, and many local commercial sites mirror that traditional character. We design schemes that respect period architecture while meeting modern practical needs such as accessibility and easy upkeep. If you manage properties across Bromley and Beckenham, we can standardise planting palettes and maintenance schedules for consistent results. Our team balances kerb appeal with durability for busy entrances and shared outdoor areas.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear proposal covering design, installation and ongoing maintenance. Works are planned to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and reliable timelines. Every build is quality-checked, and we keep you informed from first sketch to final handover. Local clients choose us for accountable project management, transparent options and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Bromley, access and parking can be tight around station-adjacent streets and older plots, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We often work with heavier clay soils locally, specifying drainage layers and robust plant choices to prevent winter waterlogging. Where properties sit behind mature trees, we adjust planting and lighting to cope with shade and leaf fall. We also align maintenance schedules with site use, keeping entrances clear at peak times.

Costs vary by site size, access and specification. As a guide, design and planning often starts from £750–£2,500. Installation for planting and soft landscaping may range from £2,000–£15,000+, while hard landscaping (paths, paving, edging) typically runs £120–£250 per m² depending on materials. Ongoing maintenance is commonly £150–£600 per month for small to medium sites, with larger grounds priced after survey.
Timescales depend on scope and weather. A straightforward tidy-up with planting and mulching can take 1–3 days. A full scheme with paving, irrigation and lighting usually takes 2–6 weeks, allowing for groundworks, curing times and staged planting. Larger sites or phased programmes can run longer. Access restrictions, service locations, and lead times for bespoke materials or mature plants are the main factors that affect the schedule.
Most landscaping works are permitted, especially like-for-like repairs, planting, lighting upgrades and many path or patio installations. However, permission may be needed for changes affecting highway access, significant level alterations, drainage to public sewers, or works near protected trees. If your site is in a conservation area or the building is listed, extra rules can apply. We review constraints early and can advise on permissions and compliant permeable surfacing.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as failed bedding, movement caused by poor sub-base preparation, and installation defects. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting and irrigation components, and we register these where applicable. Planting is covered through an agreed establishment period, provided watering and maintenance requirements are followed. We also offer planned maintenance to protect your investment long-term.
We tailor designs to your brand, footfall and maintenance targets. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone paving, resin-bound paths, granite setts, timber or composite seating, and robust edging. Planting can range from evergreen structure with seasonal colour to pollinator-friendly borders and low-maintenance grasses. For performance, we can add irrigation, smart lighting and rain-garden drainage. We present samples and visuals to help you choose finishes that suit the site and budget.
