A well-installed edge instantly tidies lawns, paths and planting beds, while keeping gravel and mulch where they belong. Our team designs and fits borders that suit Sydenham’s leafy gardens, from compact courtyards to larger plots near Sydenham Wells Park. We regularly work across SE26, including Lower Sydenham and Bell Green. The result is a crisp line that elevates the whole garden without a full redesign.
Sydenham is known for excellent period housing, and we tailor edging to match it. Victorian villas and Edwardian houses often suit brick or stone edging that echoes existing brickwork and steps, while period conversions benefit from slimmer metal lines to maximise space. If your garden backs onto mature greenery near Sydenham Hill Wood, we can specify deeper edging to help contain vigorous roots and keep borders defined. We’ll recommend finishes that look right from the kitchen window and the front approach.
We start with a measured site visit, set out clean lines, then excavate and install edging to the correct depth and levels. Every run is anchored and aligned so it stays straight through seasons of shrink and swell. We keep disruption low, protect existing plants where possible, and leave the site tidy at the end of the day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear options, and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often see mixed soils and tree roots, especially near Dulwich Wood and established streets in SE26. We adapt depth, fixings and materials to suit ground conditions and prevent movement over time. Access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal with parking in mind. If you’re in the Sydenham area, we’ll also align edging with existing paving levels and drainage falls.

Most projects in SE26 fall within £15–£50 per metre, depending on the material and ground conditions. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while metal, brick and natural stone sit mid to higher. Typical total spend is around £300–£1,200 for a day’s work, influenced by the number of runs, curves, excavation depth, and whether spoil removal is needed.
Many edging installations are completed in 1 day, especially for straightforward lawn borders and planting beds. Larger gardens, multiple sections, or intricate curves can extend the job, as can hard ground, roots, or the need to re-level adjacent paving. We’ll confirm timings after measuring up and checking access for materials and waste removal, so you know what to expect before work begins.
Garden edging is usually permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s a minor landscaping change. However, rules can differ if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if edging forms part of a new wall or significant change to front boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can advise on checking with Lewisham Council if needed.
Yes. Our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect fixing or installation depth. It’s designed to give you confidence that lines will stay true and edges will remain secure. Normal wear, accidental damage, or problems caused by later third-party work aren’t included, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise.
We install metal edging for sleek, modern lines; brick edging to complement period homes; and stone edging for a traditional, premium finish. Sleeper edging is popular for raised borders, while plastic edging can suit budget-conscious projects or hidden restraints. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, maintenance, and how the edging meets paths, lawns and planting levels for a cohesive result.
