Untidy lawn edges and spreading gravel can make even a well-kept garden look scruffy. Our edging installs clean, durable lines that define beds, paths and patios across Orpington, from the High Street to Priory Gardens. We work throughout BR5 and BR6, including St Mary Cray and Petts Wood. The result is a garden that looks finished and is easier to mow and weed.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates often comes with generous front gardens, side access and family-friendly lawns. We design edging to suit these layouts—straight runs for crisp kerb appeal, or gentle curves to soften planting borders. Whether you’re refreshing a driveway edge or framing a new bed, we match the style to your home and garden. Our team is used to the practicalities of Bromley properties, including varying levels and older paving.
We start with a site visit to confirm lines, levels and drainage, then recommend the best edging type for durability and appearance. Installation is typically completed in one day, with careful ground preparation and secure fixing to prevent movement over time. We keep disruption low, tidy up thoroughly, and leave edges ready for turfing, gravel or planting. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, neat workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Ground conditions in Orpington can vary from compacted clay to freer-draining soils, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base to keep edging stable. Parking and access can be tighter near Orpington station and busier streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For sloping front gardens common around BR5 and BR6, we set consistent levels and use robust fixings to avoid future movement. We also consider sight lines and boundary details typical of Bromley homes.

Most projects in Orpington fall within £15–£50 per metre, depending on the material and ground preparation needed. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while stone, brick and sleeper edging tend to cost more due to heavier materials and additional bedding work. Typical total spend is around £300–£1,200 for a front or back garden run, with curves, steps and removals affecting the final figure.
Most garden edging jobs are completed in 1 day, including setting out, digging, installing and tidying up. Timescales can extend if you’re edging long runs, adding complex curves, or combining edging with new turf, gravel or planting. Harder ground, existing concrete haunching, or removing old edging can also add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring and checking access for materials.
Garden edging is usually classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary walls, working near a highway, or your property is listed or within a conservation area. If edging forms part of a larger front garden redesign affecting drainage or levels, extra checks may be sensible. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and advise on what to confirm with Bromley Council if needed.
Yes—our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty. This covers workmanship-related issues such as movement caused by incorrect fixing, poor bedding, or inadequate sub-base preparation. Normal wear, accidental damage, and changes caused by third-party work aren’t covered, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise. We also use proven materials and installation methods designed to cope with seasonal ground movement and regular garden use.
We install metal edging for slim, modern lines; brick edging for a classic finish; and stone edging for a premium, natural look. Sleeper edging works well for raised borders and level changes, while plastic edging can be a cost-effective option for simple bed separation. Decorative borders are ideal for adding character around paths or planting areas. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, maintenance and how the edging will meet lawns, gravel or paving.
