Beckenham’s leafy streets and outstanding parks make outdoor living a big part of family life. We design gardens that feel as inviting as a weekend at Kelsey Park, but tailored to your home and routines. Whether you’re near Beckenham Junction station or closer to Eden Park, we’ll create zones for play, relaxing and easy supervision. Expect practical layouts, durable finishes and a garden children will actually use.
Homes across BR3 range from Edwardian houses to 1930s semis and period conversions, each with different levels, access and existing planting. We’re used to working with side returns, narrow passages and sloping plots, keeping disruption low and the finish sharp. Our designs balance grown-up entertaining space with child-friendly features that don’t dominate the garden. The result is a garden that grows with your family, not one you outgrow.
We start with a site visit to understand how you want to use the space, then produce a clear plan covering safe play areas, soft surfaces, lawn space and storage. Installation is handled by our in-house team with tidy working practices and a defined schedule. We specify materials that are safe, long-lasting and low maintenance, and we keep you updated at each stage. Local homeowners choose us for reliable project management and a premium finish that stands up to everyday use.
We build family friendly gardens Beckenham area homeowners can rely on, with layouts that suit typical Bromley plot shapes and access. Soil conditions vary, so we assess drainage and compaction before setting lawn levels or installing soft surfaces. We plan deliveries and parking carefully for residential streets around Elmers End and Clock House. For family friendly gardens in London Borough of Bromley, we also consider boundary treatments, overlooking and safe gate positions.

Costs vary by size, access and features. As a guide in BR3, a basic family-friendly refresh (new lawn, edging and a small soft-play zone) often starts around £4,000–£8,000. A mid-range redesign with soft surfacing, planting, lighting and a timber play area is commonly £10,000–£25,000. Larger builds with drainage works, paving, bespoke structures or premium surfacing can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward lawn and soft-surface installation can be completed in under a week, while a full redesign with paving, raised beds, fencing and play equipment typically needs 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through side passages, groundwork and drainage requirements, curing times for concrete, and lead times for bespoke items like pergolas or gates.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including lawns, planting, most patios and typical play equipment. However, rules can apply to boundary fences, structures over certain heights, front garden works, and properties in conservation areas or with specific restrictions. We’ll flag likely issues early, check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Bromley, and advise if a planning application or party wall notice is sensible before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues such as poor installation, movement from incorrect sub-bases, and failures caused by workmanship. Manufacturer guarantees apply separately for products like artificial turf, lighting, membranes and play surfaces. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and how to maintain lawns, timber and surfacing so your garden stays safe, tidy and durable for years.
We tailor designs to your children’s ages and how you use the space. Popular options include reinforced turf or artificial grass for year-round play, wet-pour rubber or bark for soft surfaces, and timber sleepers or brick for raised beds and edging. We can integrate sandpits, trampolines (including in-ground), climbing frames, wildlife areas and growing spaces. You’ll get samples and clear pros/cons so you can choose confidently.
