Beckenham homeowners expect gardens that look polished and work hard year-round. Whether you’re close to Beckenham Place Park or commuting via Beckenham Junction station, we create outdoor layouts that make evenings, weekends and entertaining easier. Our designs balance greenery with practical circulation, storage and seating. You’ll get a clear plan you can build in phases or as one complete project.
The Beckenham area has a mix of Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions, each with different proportions and access challenges. We design around long, narrow gardens, side returns and stepped levels, and we’re careful with sightlines from kitchen extensions and bifold doors. In Eden Park and Clock House, we often improve privacy without losing light. Every scheme is tailored to how you use the space, not a template.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a design brief that pins down style, budget and maintenance level. We then develop concept layouts, planting plans and optional 3D visualisation so you can approve the look before any ground is broken. If you proceed to build, we coordinate hard landscaping design, lighting design and water features with clear specifications. Local homeowners trust us for tidy working, transparent stages, and a 10-year warranty on installed workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, ground conditions can vary from free-draining sandy soils to heavier clay pockets, so we specify planting and drainage accordingly. Many BR3 gardens have limited side access and on-street parking, which affects waste removal and material deliveries. We plan practical build sequences and consider neighbour boundaries, levels and privacy. Where relevant, we also factor in mature trees near parks and established streets.

For Garden Design in Beckenham, design-only fees typically fall between £500 and £2,500, depending on garden size and the level of detail (planting plans, lighting, and 3D visuals). If you choose a full supply-and-build project, most Beckenham gardens land around £5,000 to £25,000, influenced by paving, walls, drainage, and features such as water or bespoke joinery.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks from start on site, depending on complexity and weather. A straightforward refresh with new paving and planting can be completed quicker, while level changes, drainage upgrades, lighting, and water features add time. Access restrictions common to 1930s semis and period conversions can also affect delivery and waste removal. We provide a realistic programme before work begins.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths and most planting. However, rules can apply to raised decking, significant level changes, new boundary walls, and works near protected trees. In the London Borough of Bromley, we check constraints such as conservation areas, Tree Preservation Orders and drainage requirements before finalising the design. If permissions are needed, we’ll guide you on the next steps.
We stand behind our work with a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, such as paving, edging, steps and constructed features, when built to our specification. The warranty covers installation-related defects, not accidental damage or lack of maintenance. Plant performance can vary with weather and aftercare, so we provide clear planting guidance and can recommend maintenance plans to protect your investment.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer natural look, and brick detailing to suit Edwardian and 1930s homes. We also design timber or composite decking, pergolas, built-in seating, and discreet storage. For planting, we often mix evergreen structure with seasonal colour and pollinator-friendly perennials. We help you compare costs, slip resistance, durability and the overall style before you commit.
