Response within 24 hours
Blackheath’s village feel and handsome façades deserve front gardens with equal presence. We design and build welcoming entrances, practical parking and layered planting that complements nearby Blackheath Common and the streets around Blackheath Village. Whether you want a crisp new path to the door or a complete rework with walls and lighting, we deliver a finish that looks established, not rushed. Our team travels from Norbury in around 30 minutes for surveys and builds across SE3.
Many homes here are Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions, often with raised thresholds, narrow frontages and heritage detailing. We plan levels carefully, manage drainage, and choose materials that sit comfortably against brickwork, railings and stone steps. For properties in Greenwich, Lee and Kidbrooke, we also create solutions for family life—secure boundaries, low-maintenance planting, and bin stores that don’t dominate the view. Every design balances kerb appeal with everyday practicality.
We start with a measured site visit, then produce a clear layout covering driveways, pathways, planting, lawns, fencing, walls and lighting. You’ll receive a written specification, realistic programme, and tidy working practices that respect neighbours and access. Our builds prioritise solid sub-bases, correct falls and durable detailing so the frontage stays sharp through winter. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, craftsmanship and a finish that adds value immediately.
Front gardens in SE3 often need careful level changes, drainage planning and considerate boundary treatments. Parking and deliveries can be tight on residential roads, so we schedule materials and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in local council requirements, including permeable surfacing for new or enlarged driveways and visibility at crossings. Our designs respect the area’s Georgian and Victorian character while meeting modern needs.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple refresh with planting and minor path repairs may start around £1,500–£4,000. A new front garden with paving, fencing and lighting is often £6,000–£15,000. Driveways with proper sub-base, drainage and premium finishes commonly range from £8,000–£25,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most front garden projects take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, levels and the amount of hard landscaping. A straightforward pathway and planting scheme can be completed in under a week, while a full rebuild with driveway, walls, lighting and bin storage may take 2–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, curing times for concrete, weather, and lead times for bespoke gates or stone.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules—especially if you’re creating or enlarging parking. In most cases, you’ll need permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway rather than the street. Walls, railings and gates can also have height limits, and listed buildings or conservation considerations may apply in parts of Blackheath. We check requirements and advise before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping builds, covering installation of key elements such as paving, driveways, walls, fencing and drainage where we supply and install. This gives you confidence that the structure beneath the finish has been built correctly. Natural movement, extreme weather events and third-party damage aren’t covered, and plants are subject to seasonal factors, but we’ll always advise on aftercare and maintenance.
For period homes, popular choices include clay pavers, sandstone or granite setts, and crisp porcelain for contemporary conversions. We can combine low brick walls with railings, timber or composite fencing, and warm LED lighting along paths and steps. Planting often features evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus drought-tolerant choices for sunny plots. We help you select finishes that suit the façade, budget, and maintenance level you prefer.
