New Cross gardens are varied, from compact courtyards near New Cross station to larger plots around Telegraph Hill. We tailor planting design to your light levels, privacy needs and how you use the space. Whether you want pollinator-friendly borders, evergreen structure, or seasonal bulbs, we plan for impact and longevity. Working across SE14, we keep disruption low and the finish neat.
Many homes locally are Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with narrow side access and long, slender gardens. We select plants that suit these proportions—upright shrubs, layered perennials and climbers to soften walls and fences. In the garden planting New Cross area, we also factor in shade from neighbouring buildings and wind exposure on higher ground. The result is planting that looks intentional, not overcrowded.
Our process starts with a site visit, soil and aspect checks, then a clear planting plan and plant schedule. We handle plant supply, delivery, border planting, tree planting and mulching, with careful positioning and correct planting depths. After installation, we provide watering and aftercare guidance so plants establish well. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean handover and consistent results across garden planting in London Borough of Lewisham.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, soils can vary from heavier, compacted ground to lighter, free-draining beds in raised areas. We improve planting areas with organic matter and mulches, and choose species that cope with urban conditions. Access can be tight around converted flats in Deptford and Brockley, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to suit parking restrictions. We also consider shade patterns from terraces and boundary walls common in SE14.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density, and whether you need design and soil improvement. As a guide, border planting for a small front garden might start around £450–£900 including plants and labour. Medium to larger back-garden schemes with planting design, shrubs/perennials, bulbs and mulching often fall between £1,200–£3,500. Tree planting typically adds £250–£900 per tree depending on size and access.
Most small planting jobs in SE14 take half a day to one day, especially if beds are already prepared. A full refresh—clearing, soil conditioning, planting shrubs and perennials, adding bulbs and mulching—usually takes 1–3 days. Larger gardens or complex layouts can run 3–5 days. Timescales vary with access, delivery logistics, weather, and whether we’re also planting trees or reshaping borders.
Garden planting, border creation and mulching are normally permitted and don’t require planning permission. The main exceptions are protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) or properties in conservation areas, where work to existing trees may need consent. If you’re adding new trees near boundaries or structures, we’ll advise on sensible positioning and root considerations. We can help you check Lewisham Council guidance before any tree work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as incorrect installation practices that lead to failure (for example, poor staking or planting depth). Plant health is influenced by watering, weather, pests and aftercare, so live plant guarantees are typically limited and depend on supplier terms. We’ll give clear aftercare instructions and can arrange maintenance visits to support establishment.
We offer planting design, plant supply and installation for mixed borders, evergreen structure, and seasonal interest using perennials and bulbs. Popular choices include drought-tolerant Mediterranean-style schemes, wildlife-friendly planting, and shade planting for north-facing terraces. We can include shrub planting, specimen trees, climbers and underplanting, finished with mulching for a crisp look. We’ll recommend options based on your style, budget, and how much upkeep you want.
