That patch of grass between your Victorian bay window and the pavement deserves better. Bromley's front gardens face unique challenges – from awkward slopes near Crystal Palace Park to narrow strips in Shortlands – yet they're your home's first impression.

Victorian terraces dominate much of BR1 and BR2, leaving homeowners with compact front spaces that need clever design solutions. Whether you're dealing with a steep incline typical of homes near Sundridge Park or managing the clay-heavy soil common throughout the borough, transforming these spaces requires local knowledge. Smart planting choices and strategic hardscaping can turn even the tightest Bickley front plot into something special.
Modern landscaping techniques solve persistent Bromley problems. Permeable paving addresses the drainage issues plaguing properties near the Ravensbourne River, while raised beds combat waterlogged clay. Strategic lighting highlights architectural features – particularly effective on those Edwardian properties throughout BR3. Native plants thrive despite pollution from the A21, creating year-round interest without constant maintenance.

Most BR1 and BR2 Victorian front gardens (typically 15-25m²) see transformations between £3,500-£8,000. Larger Bickley properties with 40m²+ frontages generally require £7,000-£15,000, depending on features like driveways or retaining walls.
Regular projects span BR1's town centre properties, BR2's residential streets near Bickley, and BR3's larger plots around Sundridge. Also covering Shortlands station area and properties backing onto Kelsey Park.
Compact terraced fronts in central Bromley typically complete within 5-8 working days. Extensive redesigns with level changes or driveway modifications usually require 2-3 weeks, weather permitting.
All hardscaping elements – paths, walls, paved areas – carry decade-long protection against defects. Plants established for 12 months, ensuring they've adapted to your specific soil conditions.
Absolutely. Many Bromley homes need off-street parking, especially near the town centre. Permeable block paving combined with strategic planting creates functional parking that enhances rather than dominates. Green boundaries soften hard surfaces while meeting council requirements.
