If your lawn edges keep creeping into borders, or gravel drifts onto paving, proper edging makes an immediate difference. We install smart, durable borders across SE13, from Ladywell gardens to plots near Lewisham station. Expect straighter lines, cleaner mowing, and beds that stay where you designed them. We can edge around paths, patios, trees and planting schemes without disrupting the look of your garden.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments often comes with compact rear gardens and shared access routes. That means edging needs to be precise, practical and built to last. We regularly work on properties around Blackheath and Hither Green where levels, old paving and established planting require careful setting-out. Our team plans the edging so it complements period features while staying robust for everyday use.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and confirm the best edging type for your layout. Installation includes careful ground preparation, secure fixing, and clean joints so borders don’t shift over time. We keep disruptions low, protect surrounding plants, and leave the site tidy at the end of the day. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Lewisham we often see mixed ground conditions, from compacted clay to made-up soils in newer builds. Many homes have narrow side returns, so we plan materials and waste removal for tight access and minimal mess. Parking can be limited near Lewisham Shopping Centre and around the River Ravensbourne routes, so we schedule deliveries and loading to keep the job moving. We also match edging styles to local property character, from period terraces to contemporary courtyards.

Garden edging typically costs £15–£50 per metre in Lewisham, depending on the material and installation method. Plastic edging sits at the lower end, while brick, stone and sleeper edging usually costs more due to excavation, bedding and finishing. Most homeowners spend around £300–£1,200 for a complete garden, based on total metres, curves, level changes and any removal of old edging.
Most garden edging projects are completed in 1 day, which suits typical Lewisham gardens and access. Straight runs with clear ground can be finished faster, while curved borders, multiple areas, or significant level adjustments take longer. Time can also increase if we’re removing old concrete edging, working around established planting, or installing heavier options like stone setts or brick-on-edge with a proper bed.
Garden edging is usually permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s a low-level landscaping improvement. However, rules can differ if your home is listed, within a conservation area, or if the work forms part of changes near a highway or front boundary. We’ll flag any potential issues and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Lewisham before installation.
Yes. Our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as movement, loosening fixings, or separation caused by installation faults. It assumes normal garden use and that the area isn’t altered by later building work or heavy vehicle loading. We also recommend the right edging type for your ground conditions to reduce future shifting and keep lines crisp.
We install metal edging for clean modern lines, brick edging for a traditional finish, and stone edging for a premium, natural look. Sleeper edging works well for raised borders and level changes, while plastic edging offers a budget-friendly option for simple lawn separation. Decorative borders can add character around beds and paths. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, maintenance and how the edging ties into paving and planting.
