Honor Oak gardens often come with level changes, long plots and overlooked boundaries—especially around One Tree Hill and near Honor Oak Park station. We create tailored makeovers that add privacy, structure and year-round interest. Whether you want a family-friendly lawn, a dining terrace, or a low-maintenance courtyard, we design it to suit your routine. Every build is planned to work with SE23 access and your home’s style.
Local homes include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different proportions and garden layouts. We’re used to narrow side returns, stepped rear gardens and shared access routes, so materials and logistics are chosen carefully. Planting schemes are balanced for sun, shade and wind exposure on Honor Oak’s higher ground. If you’re comparing garden makeovers Honor Oak area options, our designs prioritise longevity as well as looks.
Your makeover starts with a site visit, measured survey and concept design, then a clear schedule for hard and soft landscaping. We manage groundwork, drainage, paving, timberwork and planting in one coordinated team to keep quality consistent. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a handover you can maintain with confidence. Homeowners choose us for garden makeovers in London Borough of Lewisham because we deliver premium finishes without surprises.
Honor Oak’s hilly plots can need careful levelling, retaining details and drainage to prevent water pooling. Access can be tight behind terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary treatments and overlooking, common around Brockley and Forest Hill edges. Where needed, we align designs with London Borough of Lewisham expectations on permeability, lighting and neighbour considerations.

Costs vary with size, levels and specification. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with new paving and planting might start around £6,000–£12,000. Medium gardens with patios/decking, lighting and new borders commonly fall in the £15,000–£35,000 range. Larger, sloping plots needing drainage, retaining work, premium materials or water features can be £40,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after survey.
Most projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward patio and planting scheme can be completed in 10–15 working days, while full redesigns with decking, lighting, drainage and level changes often run 4–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for bespoke items. We agree a programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, decking at low heights, planting and most garden lighting. However, rules can apply to raised platforms, boundary heights, listed buildings, conservation areas, and drainage/permeable surfacing where water runoff is a concern. We’ll flag any likely permissions early and can advise on compliant design choices. If approvals are needed, we help you gather the right information before proceeding.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on hard landscaping installations, covering issues arising from installation such as failed bedding, unstable paving or structural defects in built elements. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many products, including paving, lighting fittings and membranes, subject to their terms. Soft landscaping is living material, so it’s covered differently; we provide clear aftercare guidance and can offer maintenance to help plants establish well.
Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or hardwood decking, rendered planters, and layered planting with evergreens for year-round structure. Many clients add low-glare LED lighting to steps and seating areas, plus water features for sound and calm. We’ll recommend options based on your home’s period style, sun levels and budget, then provide samples so you can compare colours and textures before final sign-off.
