Busy households around the Lee Green crossroads need gardens that work hard without feeling cluttered. We create safe play areas with soft surfaces, clear sightlines and plenty of lawn space for games. Whether you’re near Manor House Gardens or closer to Lee station, we’ll shape the layout so kids can play freely while the garden stays smart and tidy.
Homes in SE12 often include Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, each with different plot shapes and access. We’re used to long, narrow gardens, side returns and shared boundaries, so we plan zones that fit naturally. If you want a trampoline, climbing frame or sandpit, we’ll position it to protect planting and avoid awkward dead space. The result feels considered, not crammed in.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a family-first design that balances play, storage and greenery. We specify durable, child-safe materials, manage the build end-to-end and keep the site organised throughout. You’ll get clear timescales, transparent options and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners recommend us because we communicate well and finish to a high standard.
We understand the mix of soil and drainage conditions across Lee Green and nearby Hither Green, so we prepare sub-bases properly for lawns and play surfaces. Access can be tight with terraces and shared side paths, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary heights, overlooking windows and safe sightlines from kitchens and patios. If any council constraints apply in the London Borough of Lewisham, we’ll flag them early.

Costs vary with size, access and what you include. As a guide, a simple family-friendly refresh (turf, edging and a small soft-play zone) often starts around £3,000–£6,000. Mid-range builds with soft surfacing, new patio and planting are commonly £8,000–£18,000. Larger projects with drainage works, bespoke carpentry, lighting and multiple zones can be £20,000+.
Most family garden builds take 1–3 weeks once the design is agreed. A straightforward lawn and soft-surface play area can be completed in under a week, while projects with patios, drainage, raised beds and fencing usually take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access, ground preparation, curing time for bases, and whether you’re installing equipment like trampolines or climbing frames.
Most garden landscaping and play features are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t usually needed. However, rules can apply to taller fencing, structures near boundaries, work affecting trees, or properties in conservation areas. We’ll advise on typical requirements in the London Borough of Lewisham and can help you check constraints before work starts, so there are no surprises mid-project.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the hard landscaping elements we install, such as bases, edging, paving and built structures. It covers defects caused by installation issues under normal use. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. Living elements like turf and plants are assessed case-by-case because establishment depends on weather and aftercare, which we’ll explain clearly.
We tailor the design to your family’s routines and the garden’s shape. Popular options include artificial grass or hard-wearing turf, rubber mulch or bonded resin for soft surfaces, timber or composite raised beds for growing spaces, and wildlife areas with logs, native planting and bug hotels. We can integrate sunken trampolines, sandpits with lids, and safe paths for scooters. We’ll guide you through samples and maintenance needs.
