Tired of lawn edges crumbling into borders or gravel migrating onto paths? Our garden edging sidcup area service creates crisp, durable lines that make planting schemes look intentional and keep maintenance simple. We work across DA14 and DA15, including homes near Sidcup High Street and Foots Cray Meadows. Expect tidy workmanship, accurate levels and a finish that complements your garden style.
Sidcup’s well-kept streets include plenty of 1930s semis with generous front gardens, Victorian houses with defined beds, and modern developments needing clean, contemporary lines. We design edging that suits each property type, whether you want a subtle border around a lawn or a stronger frame for raised beds. If your garden has slopes, tight side access or existing paving, we plan the layout so it looks balanced and functions properly. The aim is a border that stays put through seasons of use.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss materials and agree the exact line and height. Ground is prepared properly, edging is installed to consistent levels, and joints are finished for long-term stability. We protect surrounding planting and leave the area clean and ready to enjoy the same day. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, dependable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Bexley, we often encounter compacted subsoils and mixed ground where older gardens have been reworked over decades. Parking and access can vary around Sidcup Place and busier roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many 1930s plots have long side returns and established hedges, so we use precise setting-out to keep lines straight without damaging roots. We also match edging heights to existing patios and paths for a seamless finish.

For garden edging in Sidcup, costs typically range from £15–£50 per metre depending on the material and ground preparation. Plastic edging is usually the most budget-friendly, while stone, brick and sleeper edging can cost more due to heavier materials and extra cutting or foundations. Most homeowners spend around £300–£1,200 in total, based on the length, access, and whether we’re forming curves or raised borders.
Most edging projects are completed in 1 day, including setting out, digging, installing and finishing. The exact timescale depends on the length of edging, the material (brick and stone can take longer than metal), and whether we need to remove old edging or reshape borders. Curved designs, raised bed retention and tricky access can add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring on site.
Garden edging is usually permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s a minor landscaping improvement. However, rules can differ if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the edging forms part of a larger retaining structure with significant height changes. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on best practice for boundaries, drainage and any relevant council considerations in Bexley.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including correct setting, stability and alignment when used as intended. If an edge shifts due to installation-related issues, we’ll put it right. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, alterations by others, or movement caused by major groundworks nearby. We also provide care guidance to help your edging stay crisp and secure long term.
We install metal edging for clean, modern lines; stone edging for a traditional, premium look; brick edging to match period homes; sleeper edging for raised borders; and plastic edging for a neat, cost-effective solution. Decorative borders can be added to highlight paths or planting zones. We’ll help you choose based on your garden style, maintenance preferences, and how the edging needs to perform (straight runs, curves, or retention).
