Sydenham’s leafy streets and generous plots deserve landscaping that feels considered, not cookie-cutter. Whether you’re near Sydenham Wells Park or heading towards Bell Green, we design and build gardens that work for real family life. Our team handles everything from garden clearance to the final planting plan. Expect crisp detailing, tidy sites, and a result that looks better each season.
We regularly work on Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions across SE26, where levels, drainage and access can vary from street to street. Many gardens need smarter layouts to balance entertaining space with greenery, especially on longer plots. We also help homeowners in Forest Hill and Lower Sydenham upgrade tired hardstanding into attractive, usable terraces. The aim is always the same: a garden that complements the architecture and improves day-to-day use.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear proposal that breaks down materials and labour. We plan the build in logical stages—clearance, groundwork, drainage, hard landscaping, then soft landscaping—so nothing is rushed or compromised. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, scheduled updates, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, clean finishes, and respectful behaviour around occupied homes.
As experienced garden contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to tight side access, shared driveways and limited on-street parking. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Soil conditions can vary near wooded areas such as Sydenham Hill Wood, so we assess drainage and rooting depth before planting or laying patios. Where properties sit on slopes, we design levels, steps and retaining details that look natural and stay stable.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. For Sydenham projects, garden clearance often starts from £300–£900. A new patio or decking area commonly ranges £2,500–£8,000 depending on materials and groundwork. Fencing can be £90–£180 per metre, while full garden builds with planting, lighting and multiple zones are typically £12,000–£45,000+. We provide itemised estimates after a site visit.
Most hard landscaping projects take 1–3 weeks, while a full garden build is usually 3–8 weeks. Timescales depend on demolition, drainage works, level changes, curing time for concrete, and the complexity of features such as walls or water features. Access in SE26 can also affect delivery and spoil removal speed. We set a realistic programme and keep you updated if weather or supply lead times change.
Many garden works are permitted development, including patios, decking at low levels, fencing within height limits, and general planting. However, rules can change for front gardens, listed buildings, conservation areas, and works that alter drainage or affect neighbouring boundaries. If you’re near sensitive areas or have a period property, we’ll flag likely constraints early. We can also help you check Lewisham guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for qualifying installations, covering issues such as failed joints, unstable edgings, and defects caused by poor construction. Materials are supplied with manufacturer guarantees where applicable (for example, paving, composite decking, or fencing components). The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, accidental damage, or extreme weather events, but we’re always available to advise on maintenance and aftercare.
We build with a wide range of finishes, including porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, brick edging, timber or composite decking, and rendered or brick walls. For softer schemes, we create layered planting with evergreens, grasses and pollinator-friendly perennials, plus lawns or low-maintenance groundcover. Water features can be subtle rills or self-contained bowls. We guide you using samples, mood boards and practical advice based on light, soil and upkeep.
