Elmers End homes often need front gardens that work hard: parking, safe access, privacy and a clean look from the street. We create tailored layouts for BR3 properties with driveways, pathways, lawns and planting that stay neat year-round. With Elmers End station and the Croydon Tramlink nearby, access and timing matter—so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. The result is a front garden that looks premium and functions properly.
Our team understands the varied frontage sizes found across Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and Edwardian houses around Beckenham and South Norwood. We design to suit period features, bay windows and narrow side access, keeping proportions right and sightlines clear. Where space is tight, we integrate discreet bin storage and low-maintenance planting. If you want a softer look, we balance hard landscaping with layered greenery and lawn edges that stay crisp.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule the build in logical stages: groundwork, drainage, paving/driveway installation, and finishing details. You’ll get transparent specifications, tidy workmanship and reliable communication from start to finish. Our builds are made to last, using proper sub-bases, falls and fixings rather than quick cosmetic fixes. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality and a finish that still looks sharp years later.
Front gardens in the London Borough of Bromley can have mixed ground conditions, so we assess soil, levels and drainage before any surfacing goes down. Many streets around Elmers End Green have limited parking, so we plan skip placement, deliveries and daily clear-down carefully. For period homes, we match materials and detailing to the property style rather than forcing a one-size look. If a driveway is part of the plan, we also consider practical access and visibility from the road.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, simple front garden refreshes (new planting, edging and minor paving) often start around £1,500–£4,000. A new pathway and small lawn with lighting may be £4,000–£8,000. Full front garden transformations including driveway, walls/fencing and integrated bin storage typically fall between £10,000–£25,000+ depending on materials and groundwork needs.
Most projects take 3–10 working days. A straightforward pathway, planting and tidy-up can be completed in under a week, while a new driveway with drainage, walls and lighting commonly takes 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete or mortar, access for machinery, and whether utilities need protecting. We provide a clear schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Many front garden changes are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway over 5m², it usually needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property rather than the road. Walls, railings and changes near highways can also have limits. We check requirements and advise on compliant, drainage-friendly designs.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by poor preparation, or defects in installation of paving, edging, walls and similar elements. Materials are supplied to manufacturer specifications and carry their own product guarantees where applicable. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently, but we advise on aftercare to help everything establish well.
We offer a wide range of options to suit Elmers End properties, from contemporary to period-appropriate. Popular choices include block paving or resin-bound driveways, porcelain or sandstone paths, brick or rendered walls, timber or composite fencing, and low-voltage LED lighting. Planting can be evergreen structure with seasonal colour, or low-maintenance schemes using grasses and shrubs. We help you choose based on budget, maintenance preferences and the look of your home.
