West Wickham homeowners want gardens that work for busy weekends, after-school play and relaxed summer evenings. Whether you’re near West Wickham High Street or closer to Sparrows Den, we design spaces that balance safety with a premium finish. Expect practical zoning for lawn games, trampolines and growing spaces without making the garden feel cluttered. The result is a garden children love and adults are proud to host in.
The BR4 area includes plenty of 1930s semis and detached houses, plus newer developments with different levels and access points. We’re used to long rear gardens, side passages, and patio areas that need modernising. For families in Hayes, Shirley or Keston, we tailor layouts to suit how you actually use the space—play now, entertain later, and keep maintenance manageable. Our designs also consider privacy, sightlines and storage for toys and tools.
We start with a site visit to map levels, drainage and safe fall zones, then produce a clear plan and itemised quote. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and daily check-ins. You’ll get guidance on safe surfacing, edging and durable materials, plus aftercare advice to keep lawns and play areas looking their best. Local clients choose us for straightforward communication, reliable timelines and workmanship that lasts.
We understand the mix of mature plots and newer gardens across the London Borough of Bromley, including West Wickham’s pleasant residential streets near open countryside. Many properties have clay-heavy soils, so we plan drainage, sub-bases and lawn preparation carefully to prevent waterlogging. Access can be tight through side passages on 1930s semis, so we organise materials and deliveries to keep disruption down. We also consider local boundaries, tree roots and practical parking arrangements during the build.

Costs vary by size, levels and the features you choose. As a guide, a simple family layout with lawn improvements and edging may start around £3,000–£7,000. Adding soft surfacing, raised planters and lighting often sits around £8,000–£18,000. Larger builds with drainage, new patios, climbing frames, bespoke carpentry or premium surfacing can reach £20,000–£45,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A lawn re-grade with safe borders and a small play zone can be completed in about a week, while adding drainage, new paths, soft surfaces and multiple zones may take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, ground conditions, curing times for concrete bases, and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before work starts.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, including lawns, planting, patios and typical play equipment. However, rules can apply to structures over certain heights, works near boundaries, listed buildings, or if your property is in a conservation area. Drainage and changes to levels can also need careful consideration. We’ll flag any likely issues early and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Bromley before you commit.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installation work, covering defects caused by poor workmanship or installation failure. This includes key build elements such as sub-bases, edging and constructed features, when maintained as advised. Materials (like paving, turf, timber or play surfacing) are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included for your specific design and provide aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
We design around your family’s age range and how you use the garden. Popular options include durable turf or reinforced grass for play, rubber mulch or bonded surfaces for safer landings, and timber or composite edging to keep zones tidy. We can incorporate sandpits with covers, trampoline pits, climbing frames with safe fall areas, wildlife planting, and raised beds for growing. We’ll help you choose materials that suit your budget, style and maintenance preferences.
