Catford gardens come in all shapes, from compact patios near Catford Broadway to longer plots by Mountsfield Park. We create designs that balance greenery with space for dining, play or storage, without overcomplicating the layout. Whether you want a low-maintenance scheme or a lush planting style, we’ll map out a plan that works in every season. Our designs can include lighting, water features and hard landscaping details from the start.
Local homes in SE6 often include Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties, each with different levels, boundaries and access. We’re used to side returns, shared paths and narrow gates, so designs are buildable, not just pretty drawings. If your garden is overlooked, we’ll use screening, layered planting and smart lighting to improve privacy. For family gardens, we zone the space so it feels bigger and functions better.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear brief, then we develop concept options before finalising detailed plans. You’ll receive a full garden design package, with planting plans and optional 3D visualisation to help you decide confidently. We specify materials and construction details so your project runs smoothly and costs stay controlled. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often find mixed soils, shaded boundaries and gardens affected by mature trees. In Catford, access can be tight on terraces and parking can be restricted, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and build sequencing early. We also design with surface water in mind, specifying falls and permeable options where appropriate. If your property sits near busy routes around Catford Broadway, we can add sound-softening planting and privacy screening.

For garden design catford area projects, design-only work typically ranges from £500–£2,500, depending on garden size, complexity and whether you want extras like 3D visualisation, lighting design or water features. If you go ahead with a full build, many Catford projects land around £5,000–£25,000, influenced by paving choice, levels, drainage, joinery and planting density. We’ll help you prioritise to match your budget.
Most projects run 2–8 weeks from the start of construction, depending on access, weather, and how much hard landscaping is involved. A simple refresh with planting and minor paving can be quicker, while schemes with raised beds, lighting, water features or level changes take longer. Design development and ordering lead times can also affect the schedule. We provide a clear programme before work begins.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, planting and typical boundary treatments, but there are exceptions. Rules can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, significant changes to levels, and some walls or fences. Drainage and paving choices may need to meet SuDS guidance, especially for front gardens. We’ll flag likely permissions early and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham.
Our designs are detailed to reduce surprises on site, and our installation work is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship. This covers issues caused by installation defects, such as unstable paving, poor falls or faulty construction detailing, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll also explain aftercare for planting and surfaces to keep everything performing well.
Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone paving, permeable gravel, timber or composite decking, and brick edging that suits period homes. For structure, we often use raised planters, built-in seating and slatted screens for privacy. Planting can range from architectural evergreens to pollinator-friendly borders, with irrigation if needed. We guide you through samples, maintenance levels and how each option suits your light, soil and budget.
