If your borders feel tired or you’ve inherited a blank plot, we can transform it with thoughtful planting. We work across BR3, including routes near Elmers End station and the Croydon Tramlink, so visits and follow-ups are straightforward. Expect balanced planting design, quality plant supply, and crisp border planting that suits how you use the garden. The aim is simple: a garden that looks good now and improves each season.
Elmers End has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, and each brings different garden shapes and light levels. Narrow side returns, long rear gardens and shaded boundaries are common, so plant choice has to be precise. We regularly design for family gardens that need resilience as well as colour. For clients in Beckenham, Penge and South Norwood, we plan planting that works with existing patios, lawns and paths rather than fighting them.
Our process starts with a site check for sun, soil condition, drainage and access, then we produce a clear planting layout and schedule. We source reliable stock, plant correctly, and finish with mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. You’ll get practical aftercare guidance so plants establish quickly and perform well. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, consistent communication, and results that look intentional from day one.
For garden planting in London Borough of Bromley, we account for varied soils, from heavier clay pockets to improved topsoil in renovated gardens. Access can be tight on some residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many BR3 gardens have mature boundaries that create shade and root competition, which affects plant selection and spacing. We design schemes that cope with these conditions and still look full and balanced.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and whether you need design, soil improvement and mulching. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £450–£900 including plants, while a medium garden planting scheme with design and supply is commonly £1,200–£3,000. Larger, layered schemes with trees, shrubs and extensive perennials can be £3,500–£8,000+. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most planting jobs take 1–2 days for a straightforward border installation, or 2–5 days for a full garden scheme including bed preparation and mulching. Timescales depend on access, how much soil conditioning is required, and the number of trees or large shrubs. Weather can also affect digging and planting quality. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule and keep disruption to a minimum.
In most cases, garden planting, border creation and mulching don’t need planning permission. The main exceptions are protected trees, conservation areas, or work that affects a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). If tree planting is close to boundaries or drains, we’ll also advise on sensible positioning and root considerations. We can help you check Bromley council constraints before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on the installation standards we control, such as correct bed preparation, planting method and mulching where specified. Living plants are affected by watering, weather and site conditions, so plant performance is supported through clear aftercare guidance and optional maintenance visits. If any issues arise from installation within the warranty scope, we’ll put them right promptly and professionally.
We can create modern architectural schemes, cottage-style borders, wildlife-friendly planting or low-maintenance evergreen structure. Popular options include layered shrub planting with perennials for colour, spring bulbs for early impact, and specimen tree planting for height and shade. We also specify mulches such as composted bark or well-rotted organic matter to improve soil and reduce weeds. We’ll recommend plants based on sun, soil, pets/children, and how much upkeep you want.
