If you want a garden that looks polished year-round and works for modern family life, our team can help. We carry out full builds, hard and soft landscaping, patios, decking, fencing, walls and planting across BR2. Many of our projects are close to Shortlands station and around Bromley and Beckenham, where homeowners expect crisp lines and durable materials. We can also handle garden clearance to reset an overgrown plot before the build begins.
Shortlands’ large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and 1930s properties often come with generous plots, sloping levels and mature boundaries. That mix calls for thoughtful layouts, strong retaining details and planting plans that suit partial shade. As experienced garden contractors Shortlands area homeowners rely on, we balance period character with contemporary usability—think smart pathways, discreet lighting routes and planting that won’t overwhelm. We also design for entertaining, pets and low-maintenance upkeep where needed.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a design-led proposal, then schedule works to minimise disruption. You’ll get a single point of contact, tidy working practices and clear stage-by-stage updates. Our builds use proven sub-bases, correct falls and quality jointing to reduce movement and puddling. Local clients choose us for reliable timelines, careful finishes and a 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
Shortlands gardens often have tight side access, shared driveways and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary, with clay-heavy areas affecting drainage and foundation depth for patios and walls. We’re familiar with expectations across the London Borough of Bromley and will advise on practical details such as boundary heights, levels and surface water run-off. Work near landmarks like Shortlands Golf Club can also mean extra care with mature trees and root zones.

Costs vary with access, levels and specification. As a guide in BR2, garden clearance can start from £300–£900 depending on volume and disposal. A new patio is often £120–£200 per m² installed, while fencing commonly ranges £90–£160 per linear metre. Full garden builds typically start around £12,000 and can exceed £50,000 for complex hard landscaping, lighting routes, walls and premium planting.
Most projects run from 1–2 weeks for a patio and fencing refresh, to 4–10 weeks for a full garden build with levels, walls and planting. Timescales depend on site access, weather, curing times for concrete, and whether we’re adding features such as decking, water features or bespoke joinery. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated if anything changes during groundwork.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, paths, planting and most fencing—provided heights and drainage rules are met. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, new front-garden hardstanding, or works that affect protected trees. As garden contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we flag likely permissions early, check practical compliance (such as permeable surfaces and run-off), and can help you prepare information if approval is required.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our installed landscaping, covering issues caused by installation faults such as unstable sub-bases, poor levels or defective fixing methods. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or normal wear and weathering, and living plants are subject to seasonal factors. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work begins.
We offer a wide range, from porcelain paving and sandstone to granite setts, resin-bound surfaces and timber or composite decking. For boundaries, choose closeboard, slatted screens, brickwork or rendered walls; planting can be contemporary architectural or classic cottage-style to suit Edwardian and Victorian homes. Water features can be subtle rills, bowls or modern blade falls. We guide you through samples, maintenance needs and how each option performs in your garden’s light and soil.
