Tidy edges make a bigger difference than most homeowners expect—especially on sloping or layered gardens around Blythe Hill Fields. Our edging work keeps gravel on paths, stops lawn creep into borders, and frames planting for a more intentional look. We install straight or gently curved lines to suit your layout, whether it’s a small front garden or a larger rear plot. We cover SE23 and nearby streets around Forest Hill station.
Forest Hill’s Victorian and Edwardian houses often come with mature gardens, narrow side access and period features worth complementing. We design edging that looks right with original brickwork, tiled paths and traditional planting schemes, while still being practical for modern family use. If your garden is part of a period conversion, we can create discreet borders that define shared areas without feeling boxed-in. For the wider garden edging Forest Hill area, we also work regularly in Sydenham and Honor Oak.
We start with a site visit to measure runs, confirm levels and discuss the finish you want, then prepare a stable base so edging stays true. Installations are completed cleanly with careful cutting, haunching where needed, and tidy joins at corners and curves. You’ll get clear options and a written scope before we begin, plus workmanship backed by our warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat detailing and results that still look sharp seasons later.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham can vary from clay-heavy patches to freer-draining soils, so we adjust excavation depth and base preparation accordingly. Many Forest Hill properties have limited access and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where gardens sit on a gradient, we set edging with consistent sight lines and secure anchoring to avoid future drift. This is garden edging in London Borough of Lewisham done with practical local experience.

Most Garden Edging projects in Forest Hill fall between £15–£50 per metre, depending on material, curves, and ground preparation. Plastic edging is typically at the lower end, while brick, stone and sleeper edging cost more due to heavier materials and bedding/haunching. Typical total spend is around £300–£1,200 for many SE23 gardens, with larger runs, tricky access or level changes increasing labour and disposal costs.
Most edging installations take about 1 day, especially for straightforward runs around lawns and borders. Time can increase if there are lots of tight curves, multiple materials, or significant level adjustments to create a crisp line on sloping ground. Removing old edging, roots, or compacted ground can also add hours. We’ll confirm timings after measuring, and we plan the work so paths and access are kept usable where possible.
Garden edging is usually classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the work affects a boundary wall, shared access, or drainage. In the London Borough of Lewisham we also stay mindful of pavement/kerbside considerations if materials are delivered or stored. We’ll flag any concerns early and advise on the sensible next steps.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by poor base preparation, loose fixings, or failed haunching where it has been specified. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by later groundworks by others aren’t included. We also recommend the right edging type for your garden’s use—pets, children, mowing edges—so the finished border stays stable and easy to maintain.
We install metal edging for crisp modern lines, brick edging to echo period features, and stone edging for a more traditional, weighty finish. Sleeper edging is popular for raised borders and level changes, while plastic edging can be a neat, budget-friendly option for simple lawns. Decorative borders can be used to frame paths or planting beds. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, mowing practicality and how your garden is used.
