Blackheath gardens deserve planting that looks considered in every season, not just for a few weeks. We create layered borders, structural shrubs and statement trees that complement the setting around Blackheath Common and Blackheath Village. Whether you want a softer cottage feel or a crisp contemporary scheme, we plan for colour, scent and texture across the year. Expect tidy workmanship, clean edges and plants that establish well.
Local homes range from Georgian townhouses near The Paragon to Victorian villas and period conversions with courtyard gardens. These properties often have mature boundaries, shaded corners and narrow side access, which affects plant choice and delivery logistics. Our garden planting Blackheath area service is designed to work with existing character while improving privacy and kerb appeal. We also consider how you use the space—entertaining, children, pets, or low-maintenance planting.
We start with a site visit, discuss your preferences, and produce a planting design with clear plant lists and spacing. Next, we handle plant supply from trusted nurseries, then carry out border planting, tree planting, shrub planting, and the finishing mulch layer. We plant at the right depth, improve soil where needed, and set out irrigation advice so everything settles in quickly. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful handling of period features, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We regularly work across SE3 and understand the mix of exposed spots near the Common and sheltered town gardens behind terraces. Access can be tight on period streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For garden planting in Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we also factor in local tree constraints and conservation considerations where relevant. Plant choices are tailored to aspect, shade from mature trees, and the look of Georgian and Victorian façades.

Costs vary with garden size, plant specification and how much soil improvement is needed. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £600–£1,500, while full planting schemes for front and rear gardens are commonly £2,500–£8,000+. Tree planting typically ranges from £250–£1,500 per tree depending on size and access. We provide an itemised quote covering design, plant supply, planting and mulching.
Most planting jobs take 1–3 days on site once the design and plant list are agreed. A simple border planting visit can be completed in a day, while larger gardens with multiple beds, trees and extensive mulching may take up to a week. Timescales depend on access, the amount of soil preparation, and plant availability from nurseries. We’ll confirm a schedule before ordering plants.
Garden planting is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is in a conservation area, if there are Tree Preservation Orders, or if you’re working close to protected trees. If you’re considering tree planting or changes near boundaries, we’ll advise on any checks needed with the Royal Borough of Greenwich or London Borough of Lewisham. We can also help with suitable species selection to avoid future issues.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering the quality of installation such as correct planting depth, staking methods, edging and bed preparation we carry out. Plants are living materials, so ongoing success also depends on watering, weather and site conditions. We provide clear aftercare guidance and can arrange maintenance visits to support establishment. If any issues appear linked to installation, we’ll put them right promptly.
We offer planting design ranging from contemporary architectural schemes to softer, naturalistic borders. Popular options include evergreen structure with shrubs, long-flowering perennials, spring bulbs, scented climbers, and specimen trees for height and privacy. We also specify mulches such as composted bark or decorative gravel where appropriate. During the consultation, we’ll match plants to light levels, soil type, and the look of your home, then supply everything from trusted growers.
