Clean, well-set edging transforms a garden from “tidy” to properly finished. We install durable borders that keep gravel in place, stop lawn creep and define planting beds. Homeowners around Dulwich Park and SE21 often ask for edging that looks smart year-round with minimal upkeep. From subtle lines to decorative borders, we tailor the look to your garden layout.
Dulwich’s Georgian and Victorian houses, plus larger detached properties, often have established lawns, mature shrubs and formal paths that benefit from precise edging. In East Dulwich and West Dulwich we frequently work with existing brickwork, stone steps and period-style planting schemes. Our team matches new edging to the character of the property, whether you want a traditional brick soldier course or a discreet metal edge. We also plan levels carefully so borders sit flush and mowing stays easy.
We start with a quick site visit, measure runs, and recommend the best edging profile for your soil and garden use. Installation includes accurate setting-out, solid ground preparation and clean joins at corners and curves. We keep disruption low, protect nearby paving and leave the site tidy at the end of the day. Dulwich clients choose us for clear pricing, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We’re used to working across the London Borough of Southwark, where access can be tight and parking restrictions vary street by street. Dulwich gardens often have mature roots and mixed ground conditions, so we adjust excavation depth and fixing methods to avoid disturbance. For properties near Dulwich Village and SE22, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep the job smooth. Our edging details are chosen to suit period architecture and existing hard landscaping.

Most garden edging in Dulwich is priced at £15–£50 per metre, depending on the material and how complex the layout is. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while stone, brick and sleeper edging sit higher due to materials and labour. Typical total spend is £300–£1,200 for an average garden, with costs influenced by curves, ground preparation, and whether old edging needs removing.
Most edging jobs are completed in 1 day, which is ideal if you want a quick upgrade without weeks of disruption. Time can increase if there are long runs, lots of curves, heavy materials (such as stone), or if we need to remove existing edging and re-level borders. Wet ground, root-heavy areas and restricted access can also slow progress. We confirm timings after measuring on site.
In most cases, garden edging is classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission. That said, rules can change if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if the work forms part of a larger hard landscaping scheme. We’ll ask a few questions during the survey and flag anything that may need checking with Southwark Council. If permissions are required, we can guide you through the next steps.
Yes. Our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related issues, such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation or fixings. It’s designed to give you confidence that borders will stay straight, secure and fit for purpose. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact from heavy equipment, or issues caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also provide care guidance to keep edging looking its best.
We install metal edging for clean, modern lines; brick edging for a classic period look; and stone edging for a premium, natural finish. Sleeper edging is popular for raised borders, while plastic edging suits simple, budget-friendly separations. Decorative borders can be used to echo existing paving patterns or create feature curves. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, mowing practicality and how the edging will meet paths, lawns and planting beds.
