A well-defined edge instantly lifts a garden, keeping gravel, mulch and soil where they belong. We install crisp, long-lasting borders across SE20, from small front gardens to larger rear plots. Many clients are around Penge High Street and near Alexandra Recreation Ground, where tidy lines make a big difference to kerb appeal. Decorative borders also help guide foot traffic and protect planting from being trampled.
Penge’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have narrow side access and compact front gardens that need precise, low-disruption work. We’re used to aligning edging with existing paths, steps and bay-front boundaries so everything looks intentional. For properties around Anerley and Crystal Palace, we also factor in changes in level and older paving that may need careful tying-in. The result is a border that suits the style of the home rather than fighting it.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, curves and the best material for your garden’s use. Our team sets out lines, prepares a stable base, installs edging securely, then finishes with clean joins and tidy transitions. You’ll get clear recommendations, straightforward pricing, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because we turn up on time, protect existing planting, and leave the site spotless.
Working in the London Borough of Bromley, we often encounter mixed ground: compacted clay patches, made-up soil near older patios, and tree roots close to boundaries. Parking and access can be tight near Penge East station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design edging heights to suit period front gardens, where too-tall borders can look out of place. If you’re in Beckenham or Sydenham, we’ll match edging to existing brickwork and paving tones for a cohesive finish.

For garden edging in the Penge area, costs typically fall between £15 and £50 per metre depending on the material and the amount of groundwork needed. Plastic edging sits at the lower end, while metal, brick and natural stone are usually higher due to fixings and base preparation. Most homeowners spend around £300–£1,200 in total for a front or rear garden, with curves, steps and removal of old edging affecting the final figure.
Most projects are completed in 1 day, which is ideal for busy households. Straight runs on clear ground can be done quickly, while curved decorative borders, level changes, or tying into existing paving can add time. If we need to remove old concrete haunching, dig out compacted soil, or work around established planting, the preparation stage takes longer. We’ll confirm the programme after measuring up and checking access.
In most cases, garden edging is classed as a minor landscaping improvement 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 scheme involving walls, raised structures, or changes to the front garden that affect drainage. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on Bromley council guidance before work begins.
Yes. Our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including secure fixing, alignment, and stability of the installed edging under normal garden use. It also covers issues such as edging lifting due to inadequate base preparation. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental impact damage, changes caused by third-party work, or movement from major groundworks elsewhere on the property. We’ll provide care guidance to help it stay looking sharp.
We offer metal edging for crisp, modern lines; brick edging to complement period homes; stone edging for a premium, natural finish; sleeper edging for raised borders; and plastic edging for budget-friendly separation. Decorative borders can be straight, gently curved, or feature contrasting materials to frame planting. We’ll help you choose based on your garden style, maintenance preferences, and how the area is used (pets, kids, heavy foot traffic). Samples and layout marking are available.
