A well-defined edge instantly upgrades how a garden looks and how easy it is to maintain. We install garden edging across BR7, including properties near Chislehurst Common and routes leading towards Chislehurst Caves. Whether you want a subtle lawn edge or a bold decorative border, we set out clean lines that stay put. The result: less soil spill, fewer weeds creeping in, and a more polished layout.
Chislehurst’s large detached houses, Victorian villas and period properties often have generous lawns, curved beds and long gravel or paved paths. We design edging that suits traditional planting schemes as well as contemporary landscaping, keeping proportions right for bigger front gardens and deeper borders. In Elmstead and nearby Mottingham, we regularly edge around mature shrubs and established trees without disturbing roots. Every installation is planned to complement existing paving, steps and brickwork.
We start with a site visit to measure runs, confirm levels, and agree the look you want. Edging is installed on a stable base, aligned carefully, and finished to prevent movement and gaps over time. We keep the work tidy, protect surrounding planting, and leave edges clean and ready for mulching or turfing. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling, and workmanship backed by a written warranty.
We’re used to the mix of clay-heavy and compacted soils found across the London Borough of Bromley, which can shift with wet weather. In Chislehurst, access can be tight on older driveways and around mature planting, so we plan deliveries and cutting areas carefully. We work considerately with parking constraints near busier roads and local amenities, and we tailor edging depths and fixings to suit larger plots and sloping lawns common in BR7.

Garden edging typically costs £15–£50 per metre in the Chislehurst area, depending on the material and the amount of groundwork needed. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while stone, brick and premium metal systems sit higher. Most homeowners spend around £300–£1,200 for a complete run around beds, lawns and paths. Curves, steps, and removing old edging can increase labour time.
Most garden edging jobs are completed in 1 day, including setting out, excavation, base preparation and installation. Smaller straight runs can be finished in a few hours, while larger gardens or multiple borders may take longer if there are lots of curves, changes in level, or existing edging to remove. Weather and ground conditions also matter—very wet clay soils can slow digging and compaction. We’ll confirm timings after measuring up.
In most cases, garden edging is classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t need planning permission, especially when it’s within your garden and below typical height limits. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, or where edging affects a boundary wall, public footpath, or drainage. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise if you should check with the London Borough of Bromley before work starts.
Yes. Our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as movement, lifting or separation caused by installation faults. It assumes normal domestic use and that surrounding landscaping isn’t later altered in a way that undermines the edging (for example, major digging right beside it). Materials are also covered by the manufacturer’s warranty where applicable. We’ll provide care guidance to help keep edges looking sharp.
We install metal edging for clean modern lines, brick edging to match period properties, and stone edging for a more traditional, substantial border. Sleeper edging works well for raised beds, while plastic edging suits discreet, budget-friendly separation. Decorative borders can be used to frame pathways or highlight feature planting. We’ll help you choose based on your garden style, curves vs straight runs, maintenance preferences, and how you want the edging to tie into paving and planting.
