Untidy lawn lines and spreading gravel can make even a well-planted garden look unfinished. Our edging service creates clean, durable borders that suit Streatham’s mix of formal front gardens and family back gardens. We regularly work near Streatham Common and along Streatham High Road, shaping edges that look smart year-round. Whether you’re in SW16 or SW2, we’ll match the finish to your garden style.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses often have narrow side returns, stepped paths and established planting beds that need careful detailing. Mansion flats and modern apartments can benefit from edging that keeps communal beds tidy and reduces maintenance. We design borders that sit comfortably with period brickwork, rendered façades and contemporary paving. The result is a garden that looks intentional, not improvised.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and how you use the space, then recommend the right edging type and depth. Installation is precise: straight lines where you want structure, gentle curves for softer planting schemes, and secure fixing to prevent movement. We leave the area clean and usable the same day, and we stand behind our workmanship. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy work and a finish that stays sharp.
We’re used to the garden layouts found across the London Borough of Lambeth, including tight access in Streatham Hill and long rear gardens in Streatham Vale. Many properties have mixed ground conditions—compacted clay patches, old rubble, and tree roots near established boundaries—so we adjust fixing methods and depths accordingly. Where parking is limited on residential streets, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. The aim is a crisp edge that stays put through seasons and foot traffic.

For garden edging in the Streatham area, budgets typically fall between £15 and £50 per metre depending on the material and how it’s installed. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while metal, brick and stone edging sit higher due to labour and fixing requirements. Most homeowners spend around £300 to £1,200 in total, influenced by length, curves, ground preparation and any removal of old edging.
Most projects are completed in 1 day, especially straightforward runs along lawns, borders or paths. Time can increase if you’re choosing brick or stone with a mortar bed, if there are lots of curves, or if we need to dig out old concrete haunching and re-level the edge. Access also matters for Streatham properties with narrow side passages. We’ll confirm timings after measuring and checking ground conditions.
In most cases, garden edging is classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re working on a listed building, within a conservation area, or altering walls, gates or hardstanding at the front of the property. If your edging forms part of a wider redesign near boundaries, we’ll flag any potential issues. We always advise checking Lambeth guidance where relevant before work begins.
Yes. Our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect fixing or inadequate base preparation. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact from vehicles, or ground movement caused by major tree root growth or third-party works. We’ll explain how to look after your edging and what to avoid (for example, aggressive strimming against metal). If there’s a problem, we’ll inspect and put it right.
We install metal edging for a slim, modern line; stone edging for a traditional, premium look; and brick edging to complement period properties. Sleeper edging is popular for raised borders and retaining small level changes, while plastic edging suits simple, budget-friendly separation. Decorative borders can add character around planting beds or paths. We’ll help you choose based on garden style, maintenance preferences, soil conditions and how you want the edge to read from the house.
