Those overgrown laurel hedges and patchy lawns deserve better than another summer of neglect. Bromley's gardens have incredible potential – whether squeezed behind a Victorian terrace or sprawling across Bickley's generous plots.

Garden renovation in Bromley presents unique opportunities. Many properties here feature mature planting that's outgrown its welcome, while newer developments in Sundridge often start with builder-basic landscaping that lacks personality. The clay-heavy soil common across BR postcodes actually works brilliantly once properly amended. Local gardeners know the challenge of dealing with decades-old root systems and compacted earth beneath established lawns.
A successful renovation begins with understanding what lies beneath. Soil testing reveals pH levels and nutrient deficiencies specific to each plot. Drainage assessment becomes crucial, particularly in lower-lying areas near Shortlands where water tends to pool. Design consideration includes sight lines from both house and street, privacy requirements given Bromley's varied plot densities, and seasonal interest throughout the year. Material selection focuses on longevity – York stone performs beautifully in our climate, while certain gravels wash away during heavy autumn rains.
Twenty years of transforming gardens across BR1 through BR3 means recognising each street's character. Local knowledge matters when sourcing materials from trusted suppliers and understanding which plants thrive despite urban foxes and ring-necked parakeets.

All hardscaping elements carry decade-long protection against defects. Plants receive 12-month replacement coverage, assuming reasonable care. Structural work including retaining walls and drainage systems maintains full 10-year backing.
Absolutely – mature trees, established shrubs, and characterful elements often become focal points. Original Victorian path edging, existing rockeries, or healthy specimen plants can be cleaned, repositioned or enhanced rather than removed, preserving garden heritage whilst refreshing the overall space.
