If your garden plans involve a new patio, lawn, driveway or outbuilding, the groundwork needs to be right first. We deliver full site clearance, excavation, levelling and grading for homeowners in BR3, with careful waste removal throughout. Working near Eden Park station and Kelsey Park, we’re used to tight side access and shared driveways. The result is a neat, stable base that helps prevent future sinking and drainage issues.
Eden Park’s quiet residential streets include many 1930s semis, detached houses and Edwardian properties, often with long rear gardens and mature planting. That mix can mean variable ground conditions, old garden structures, and levels that have shifted over time. Our garden groundworks Eden Park area service is designed to handle everything from removing old concrete paths to setting accurate falls for new paving. We also plan access routes to protect existing features where you want to keep them.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage routes and confirm what’s being built on top. Then we schedule excavation, spoil removal and foundations in a logical order to keep the site safe and tidy. You’ll get clear communication, photo updates if you’re away, and a finish that’s ready for the next trade. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, considerate neighbours-first working, and dependable aftercare.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, we often find mixed soils and gardens with historic layers of fill from old landscaping. In Eden Park and nearby Beckenham, access can be narrow and parking can be restricted at peak times, so we plan deliveries and grab-lorry collections carefully. We also set out levels to suit typical 1930s plots, ensuring water runs away from the house and towards suitable drainage points. Where needed, we coordinate with local guidance on surface water and responsible disposal.

Costs vary with access, depth of dig, waste volume and whether drainage or foundations are needed. As a guide, small clearance and levelling jobs may start around £800–£1,500. More involved excavation with spoil removal and new drainage commonly falls in the £2,000–£6,000 range. Larger foundation-led projects can be £6,000–£12,000+. We’ll survey your BR3 garden and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most garden groundworks take 1–5 days, depending on the size of the area and how much material must be removed. A straightforward dig-out and level for a patio base might be completed in 1–2 days, while drainage runs and foundation work can extend to a week or more. Timescales are affected by access, weather, hidden obstructions and whether skips or grab collections are required. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
Many garden groundwork elements are permitted development, especially like-for-like hard landscaping or preparing bases for patios. However, rules can apply to driveway surfacing (permeable requirements), changes to levels near boundaries, and work affecting trees or drainage. If your property is close to protected features or has specific restrictions, extra checks may be needed. We’ll flag any likely permissions, help you understand Bromley guidance, and build the job to comply from the outset.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on qualifying groundwork installations, covering issues arising from installation faults such as settlement due to incorrect compaction, poorly formed falls, or defective base preparation. It applies when the build-up and materials follow our specification and the finished surface is installed as designed. We also provide clear handover notes for maintenance and drainage care. Any concerns are handled promptly by our local team.
We can prepare sub-bases and foundations for a wide range of finishes, including porcelain paving, sandstone, block paving, resin-bound surfacing, turf and artificial grass. Groundworks can also support sleepers, retaining walls, steps, shed bases and garden rooms. We’ll advise on build-ups, edging details and drainage to suit your chosen surface and how you use the space. If you’re undecided, we can recommend options that work well for Eden Park’s typical garden sizes and access.
