Honor Oak gardens often need planting that can cope with slopes, shade and busy family use. We create planting schemes that look great from day one and mature beautifully over time, whether you’re near One Tree Hill or a short walk from Honor Oak Park station. Expect well-considered layers of perennials, shrubs and seasonal bulbs, installed with proper soil preparation and mulching. The result is a garden that feels intentional, not patchy.
Our team works across SE23 and nearby Forest Hill, Brockley and Nunhead, where Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often have narrow side access and long borders. We design planting to suit the scale of period gardens—softening brick walls, framing patios and improving privacy without blocking light. If your garden is overlooked, we can add multi-stem trees and evergreen structure while keeping maintenance realistic. Plant choices are matched to aspect, soil and how you use the space.
We start with a site visit to assess light levels, drainage and existing plants worth keeping. Next comes planting design, then plant supply from trusted growers, followed by careful border planting, tree and shrub planting, and a finishing mulch to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. We work tidily, protect paths and lawns, and give clear aftercare guidance so plants establish quickly. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, quality planting stock and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
The Honor Oak area includes hilly plots and mixed light conditions from mature trees, so we plan planting that won’t struggle in dry shade or exposed spots. Access can be tight around terraces, so we schedule deliveries and carry-in efficiently and keep disruption down. We also consider local constraints in the London Borough of Lewisham, such as street parking and waste removal, and we leave sites clean and compliant. This practical approach helps gardens establish well and stay easy to manage.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and whether you need a full planting design and plant supply. As a guide, small border refreshes often start from a few hundred pounds, while larger schemes with shrubs, perennials, bulbs and mulching commonly fall in the £1,000–£3,500 range. Tree planting, soil improvement and premium specimens can increase budgets. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most planting jobs in the garden planting Honor Oak area take 1–2 days for a straightforward border installation, including soil preparation and mulching. Larger gardens, multiple borders, or tree and shrub planting can take 3–5 days, especially if access is restricted or materials must be carried through the house. Timescales also depend on weather, plant availability and whether we’re removing old plants first. We confirm a schedule before starting.
In most cases, garden planting in London Borough of Lewisham doesn’t require planning permission, especially for borders, shrubs, perennials and bulbs. The main exceptions can involve protected trees, work within conservation areas, or anything affecting a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). If you’re adding or removing trees, we’ll advise on checks and help you understand what permissions may be needed. We always aim to keep work compliant and documented.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality such as correct planting depth, staking methods and bed preparation carried out by our team. Plants are living materials, so ongoing health depends on watering, weather and site conditions; we provide aftercare guidance to maximise establishment. If an issue is linked to installation, we’ll put it right. We can also discuss maintenance visits to support new planting through the first season.
We offer everything from contemporary evergreen structure to cottage-style borders with long-flowering perennials and spring bulbs. Popular options include shade-tolerant planting for north-facing beds, drought-resilient schemes for sunny slopes, and screening with multi-stem trees and layered shrubs. We can also include wildlife-friendly choices and low-allergen selections where needed. Your planting design is based on light, soil, preferred colours, and how much maintenance you want to do.
