Bexley homeowners want gardens that work hard: space to relax, entertain and grow. Whether you’re near Hall Place or walking distance from Danson Park, we’ll design a layout that fits your routine and your plot. Our plans balance structure, seasonal planting and practical circulation. The result is a garden that looks considered from every window.
The Bexley area includes everything from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and crisp modern homes, each with different proportions and privacy needs. Narrow side access, long rear gardens and overlooked boundaries are common, especially around Bexleyheath and Crayford. We design with screening, levels and sightlines in mind so the garden feels calm and spacious. Plant palettes are chosen to suit light, soil and maintenance preferences.
We start with a site visit and a clear brief, then develop concept options before moving into detailed drawings. You’ll receive a full garden design, planting plans and, if helpful, 3D visualisation to confirm materials and levels. We specify hard landscaping, lighting design and water features with buildability in mind, then manage the project end-to-end. Local clients choose us for tidy workmanship, transparent stages and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Across the London Borough of Bexley we often see clay-heavy soils, which affects drainage and planting choices. We plan permeable areas, falls and soakaway options where needed, and select plants that cope with wetter winters. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. If you’re in DA5, we’ll also consider conservation sensitivities and neighbouring sightlines.

For Garden Design in Bexley, design-only work typically falls between £500 and £2,500 depending on garden size, complexity and whether you want 3D visualisation, lighting or water feature detailing. If you proceed to a full build, most complete projects land around £5,000–£25,000, influenced by paving choices, walls, drainage, planting density and access. We provide itemised proposals after a site visit.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks from the start of construction, with the design phase running in parallel beforehand. Smaller refreshes with limited hard landscaping can be quicker, while larger builds with patios, steps, retaining walls, lighting and water features take longer. Timescales are affected by access, weather, lead times for materials and whether groundworks uncover drainage issues. We agree a programme before work begins.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, planting and most boundary works, but there are important exceptions. Raised platforms, walls over certain heights, structures near highways, and works in conservation areas can trigger extra rules. Drainage requirements may also apply if you’re changing large paved areas. We’ll flag likely permissions early and can help you check London Borough of Bexley guidance before committing to designs.
Our design work is delivered with clear drawings and specifications so you know exactly what’s included. For installation, Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on hard landscaping elements we build, such as paving, steps, walls and constructed features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting and pumps. We also offer aftercare advice to help planting establish well.
Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, permeable gravel paths, brick edging to suit period homes, and contemporary composite decking for low maintenance. Planting often blends evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus screening using pleached trees or climbers. Many clients add subtle lighting for steps and borders, and a compact water feature for sound and movement. We guide you through samples and options to match budget, style and upkeep.
