Eden Park’s quiet residential streets and great links via Eden Park station make outdoor space a big part of family life. We design gardens that give children room to play while keeping the layout practical for everyday use. Whether you want a trampoline zone, a sandpit, or a dedicated climbing frame area, we plan clear sightlines and safe boundaries. We also include calmer features such as wildlife areas and growing spaces to encourage curiosity outdoors.
Many homes around BR3 are 1930s semis, detached houses and well-proportioned Edwardian properties, often with generous rear gardens. We’re used to working with existing patios, side access, and long plots where drainage and levels can vary. Our designs suit both family-focused upgrades and sympathetic improvements that complement period features. If you’re near Beckenham, West Wickham or Elmers End, we can tailor the layout to your plot size and how you use it day to day.
We start with a site visit to map levels, sunlight, and how children move through the space. Then we produce a clear plan covering safe play areas, soft surfaces, lawn space, and any timber or metal structures. Installations are tidy and scheduled, with materials chosen for longevity and easy maintenance. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, keep sites safe, and stand behind our work with a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, gardens often have mixed soils and pockets of shade from mature trees near parks such as Kelsey Park. We plan drainage and lawn build-ups to reduce winter waterlogging, and we specify surfaces that cope with heavy use. Access can be tight on some 1930s plots, so we organise deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary treatments and neighbour privacy typical of Eden Park streets.

Costs vary with size, groundworks and play features. As a guide, a simple family layout with lawn improvements and a small soft-surface play zone often starts around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-range projects including edging, planting, a sandpit and safer surfacing commonly fall between £8,000–£18,000. Larger gardens with drainage, premium turf, bespoke carpentry, and multiple zones can be £18,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on groundwork and the number of features. A lawn refresh with simple zoning can be completed in under a week, while adding soft surfaces, raised growing beds and play equipment usually extends the programme. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, weather, drainage needs and curing times for bases. We provide a clear schedule before work starts.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including lawns, planting, and most low-level landscaping. However, larger structures such as climbing frames, pergolas, decking height changes, or boundary alterations can trigger rules, especially near neighbours or if your property has restrictions. We’ll advise on typical requirements in the London Borough of Bromley and check relevant limits before installation. If needed, we can help you prepare information for the council.
We include a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as unstable edging, poorly built sub-bases, or fixings that fail under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like artificial grass, tiles, or play equipment where supplied. We’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen materials and provide aftercare guidance to keep lawns and surfaces performing well.
Popular choices include hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass for play, rubber mulch or bonded aggregate for soft landings, and timber sleepers or brick edging for clear zones. Many families add raised growing beds, wildlife-friendly planting, and simple paths to keep muddy shoes off patios. We can integrate trampolines flush with the lawn, or create dedicated areas for sandpits and climbing frames. We’ll recommend options based on safety, maintenance and your garden’s light and drainage.
