Keston gardens often sit alongside open greenery near Keston Common and the walks around Keston Ponds, so views, privacy and wind exposure matter. We create tailored layouts that balance structure with soft planting, making the most of every level change and boundary. Whether you want a calm family space or a garden built for hosting, we design with year-round interest in mind. Our drawings are clear, buildable and made for real life in BR2.
Homeowners across Keston, Hayes and Farnborough typically have period cottages, large detached houses and country homes with generous plots. That brings opportunities for zoning—dining terraces, lawn areas, kitchen gardens and discreet storage—without the garden feeling over-designed. We also work with mature trees and established hedging, keeping the best character features while improving flow and usability. If your garden feels dated or difficult to maintain, a strong design plan makes the upgrade straightforward.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a design brief that covers style, maintenance level and budget. You’ll receive concept options, then a refined masterplan with planting plans and, where helpful, 3D visualisation to remove guesswork. We can include lighting design, water features and hard landscaping design so the finished build matches the drawings. Local homeowners trust us for tidy sites, transparent timelines and a 10-year workmanship warranty on installed elements.
In the London Borough of Bromley, Keston gardens can include clay-heavy soils, shaded edges from mature trees and sloping plots near open commonland. We plan drainage, levels and planting choices accordingly, selecting materials that cope with winter saturation and summer dry spells. Access and parking can vary between cottages and larger detached homes, so we design with practical build logistics in mind. Where boundaries face footpaths or open spaces, we add privacy without blocking light.

For Garden Design in Keston, design-only work typically falls between £500 and £2,500 depending on garden size, survey needs and the level of detail (planting plans, lighting, 3D visuals). If you proceed to a full build, many projects in the Keston area land around £5,000 to £25,000, influenced by paving, walls, drainage, water features and planting maturity. We tailor the scope to your budget.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks from start on site to completion, depending on complexity and weather. Design time can be quicker for simple layouts, but larger gardens or those needing 3D visualisation and detailed planting plans take longer. Build duration is affected by groundworks, drainage, retaining walls, bespoke joinery and lead times for materials. We provide a clear programme before work begins and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, planting and most boundary treatments, but there are exceptions. Rules can change if you’re adding significant structures, altering levels, installing certain water features, or working near protected trees. Some properties may have restrictions, especially if listed or in a sensitive setting. We flag likely permissions early, check relevant Bromley guidance, and can support any applications if needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on installed hard landscaping elements we build, such as paving, steps, walls and constructed features, provided they’re used and maintained as advised. This covers defects arising from installation rather than normal wear, accidental damage or extreme events. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently; we’ll advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance to help it establish well. Warranty details are supplied in writing.
We can design everything from contemporary porcelain terraces to natural sandstone, clay pavers and gravel paths, alongside timber or composite decking where suitable. Popular options include layered planting borders, evergreen structure, wildlife-friendly schemes, discreet irrigation, lighting for steps and walkways, and water features such as rills or reflection bowls. We help you choose finishes that suit your property style, maintenance preferences and budget, then specify products that perform well in local conditions.
