Sevenoaks families want gardens that feel calm, look smart and cope with constant use. Whether you’re near Knole House or walking distance from The Vine Cricket Ground, we design layouts that give children freedom without taking over the whole garden. Expect clear sightlines from the kitchen, defined play zones, and surfaces chosen for safety. We also blend in planting so the space still feels grown-up.
The Sevenoaks District has a mix of large detached houses, period properties and executive homes, often with generous rear gardens and sloping levels. In Riverhead and Dunton Green we frequently see lawns that need better drainage and more resilient turf for heavy footfall. We plan family friendly gardens sevenoaks area homeowners can enjoy year-round, balancing play equipment with entertaining space. If access is tight or there’s a long side return, we organise materials and machinery to suit.
We start with a site visit, practical design options and a clear, itemised proposal. Our build team installs sub-bases, edging and fixings properly, so play features stay stable and surfaces remain even. We keep the site tidy, protect existing structures, and update you daily on progress. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, premium finishes and a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship.
Across TN13, TN14 and TN15 we often encounter clay-heavy ground that needs proper drainage and robust sub-bases. Some plots around Otford and Kemsing sit on gentle slopes, so we use terracing, retaining edges and level pads for play equipment. Parking and access can vary near Sevenoaks High Street, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our solutions suit larger homes while keeping maintenance straightforward.

Budgets vary with size, levels and the features you choose. As a guide, a simple family layout with lawn improvements and a small soft-surface zone often starts around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-range builds including drainage, new turf, edging and a dedicated play area are commonly £10,000–£20,000. Larger gardens with terracing, premium surfacing, lighting and multiple zones can be £25,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design is agreed and materials are booked. A straightforward lawn and play-surface upgrade may be completed in 3–7 days. More complex gardens with drainage, level changes, retaining edges, or multiple zones for wildlife and growing spaces typically take 2–4 weeks. Weather, access, and lead times for specialist surfacing or equipment can affect the schedule.
Most garden landscaping, lawns, planting and typical play equipment is usually permitted development, so planning permission is often not required. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, high boundary treatments, significant level changes, or structures close to boundaries. We’ll flag anything that may need consent and can help you check requirements with Sevenoaks District Council before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship for key build elements such as sub-bases, edging, paving/paths and installed structures, provided they’re used and maintained as advised. Materials and products may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we pass on to you. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing, along with care guidance for lawns and soft surfaces to keep everything performing well.
Popular choices include reinforced turf or hard-wearing seed lawns, resin-bound or rubber crumb play surfacing, and timber or composite edging to define zones. Many families add sandpits with lids, in-ground or level-base trampolines, and climbing frames on certified impact-absorbing surfaces. Wildlife areas can include log piles, native hedging and small ponds with safety margins. We help you compare options by durability, maintenance and how they suit your space.
