Sloping lawns and split-level patios are common around Hayes Common and the BR2 postcode, and well-built steps make those changes in level easy to live with. We design and install garden steps that suit the look of your property and the way you use the space. From a short run down to a patio to a longer flight through planting beds, each step is set out for comfortable going and consistent risers. If you’re near Hayes station or West Common, we can survey quickly and advise on the best layout.
Hayes (Bromley) has a mix of large detached houses, period cottages and plenty of 1930s properties, often with mature gardens and uneven ground. We match step materials and detailing to the character of the home, whether that’s traditional brick edging, crisp blockwork, or natural stone that complements older brickwork. For tighter side returns or raised terraces, we plan widths and landings to keep access practical. Homeowners in the garden steps hayes (bromley) area often ask for finishes that look established rather than brand new, and we can achieve that with the right stone and pointing style.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear recommendation on step count, riser height and drainage. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and build each tread to stay level and secure through the seasons. Optional lighting integration and handrails are planned from the outset so cabling and fixings are neat and safe. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 25 minutes away, so you get responsive support and reliable scheduling from a local team.
Gardens here often sit on gentle slopes near the commons, with clay-heavy ground that needs careful sub-base preparation and drainage planning. Access can be narrow on some residential roads, so we organise deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider nearby trees and roots common around Hayes Common and Norman Park when setting out foundations. If any council constraints apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the build compliant.

Most projects fall between £800 and £3,500 depending on step count, width and materials. As a guide, expect around £150–£400 per step for supply and installation, with natural stone and wider treads at the higher end. Costs can also increase if excavation is deeper, drainage is needed, or you add lighting integration or handrails. We’ll confirm a tailored price after a site survey and level check.
Typical installations take 2–4 days, including excavation, sub-base, building and finishing. A small set of sleeper or block steps can be quicker, while natural stone steps or longer flights with landings take longer. Timescales are affected by access, disposal requirements, curing time for mortar, and whether lighting or handrails are included. We’ll provide a clear schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout the job.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re within your garden and don’t significantly alter the street-facing appearance. However, rules can differ if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the works involve substantial retaining structures or changes to levels near boundaries. We’ll discuss your specific site in Hayes and check any relevant Bromley guidance before work begins.
