From quick tidy-ups to scheduled seasonal maintenance, we provide practical, high-standard garden care across Downham. If you’re near Downham Fields or heading past Downham Health and Leisure Centre, our team can be with you quickly from Norbury. We cover lawn care, hedge trimming, pruning, weeding and planting, leaving your garden neat and usable. Green waste is removed and disposed of responsibly, so you’re not left with bags and branches.
Downham’s established residential estate includes 1920s cottage homes, 1930s semis and post-war housing, often with generous front gardens and long rear plots. These layouts benefit from structured maintenance: edging, border definition, and regular hedge control to keep light and space. We’re used to compact side access, shared paths and narrow gates, so we plan tools and waste removal accordingly. Whether you’re in Catford, Grove Park or close to Bellingham, we tailor the visit to your garden’s shape and planting style.
We start with a clear assessment, then agree priorities—lawn condition, overgrown hedges, problem weeds, or tired borders. Work is carried out neatly, with beds tidied, surfaces swept and all cuttings taken away. You’ll get straightforward recommendations for seasonal tasks, from spring feeding to autumn clearance, without upselling. Homeowners choose us because we’re punctual, careful around fences and paving, and consistent on repeat visits—typically just 20 minutes from our base.
As gardeners contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re familiar with Downham’s mixed soil conditions and how lawns can compact on well-used family plots. Parking and access can be tight on some residential streets, so we schedule efficiently and bring the right kit for restricted entry. We also adapt hedge and tree work to protect neighbouring boundaries and shared paths common to the estate. Our maintenance plans suit BR1 gardens that need reliable, repeat care rather than occasional overhauls.

Costs in Downham vary by garden size, access, and how overgrown things are. For routine maintenance (mowing, edging, light weeding and tidy-up), many homeowners budget around £60–£120 per visit. Larger gardens or heavier jobs such as hedge reduction, pruning and full clearance with waste removal often fall between £150–£350+. Regular scheduled visits can reduce overall cost by preventing big catch-up sessions.
A standard maintenance visit for a typical Downham garden often takes 1–2 hours, covering mowing, edging and a general tidy. More involved work—hedge trimming, pruning multiple shrubs, border weeding and planting—can take 3–6 hours, or may be split across visits. Timescales depend on growth, weather, access for tools, and whether waste needs to be carried through the property or down side access.
Most routine gardening—mowing, hedge trimming, pruning, planting and general tidying—doesn’t require permission in the London Borough of Lewisham. Restrictions can apply if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order or sits within a conservation area, and there are rules around nesting birds and responsible waste disposal. If tree work is involved, we’ll flag potential constraints early and help you check the relevant council guidance before proceeding.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible installed works (for example, certain hard landscaping elements that may accompany planting or garden improvements). For ongoing maintenance tasks such as lawn care, pruning and hedge trimming, we guarantee the standard of the visit: agreed tasks completed, garden left tidy, and waste removed as specified. Any concerns are handled promptly, with a return visit arranged where appropriate.
We can work with a range of styles, from low-maintenance evergreen structure to wildlife-friendly borders and seasonal colour. Popular options include hardy shrubs, pollinator plants, shade-tolerant perennials for darker corners, and lawn improvements such as overseeding and feeding. We’ll advise on what suits your garden’s light, soil and time available for upkeep, then source plants and set out a practical plan for ongoing seasonal maintenance.
