From small garden upgrades to full external rebuilds, our team delivers professional groundwork across Eden Park, BR3. We regularly work near Eden Park station and around Kelsey Park, where access and ground levels can vary street by street. Expect tidy site clearance, accurate excavation and properly compacted sub-bases before any surfacing or construction begins. The result is a safer site and a finish that lasts.
Eden Park’s quiet residential streets include plenty of 1930s semis, detached houses and well-kept Edwardian properties, often with mature gardens and older drainage runs. That mix can mean hidden obstructions, variable soil and legacy pipework that needs careful mapping. We tailor foundations, levelling and drainage to suit each plot, whether you’re extending, replacing a driveway, or rebuilding garden structures. Homeowners in Beckenham, West Wickham and Elmers End value the minimal disruption and clear communication.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a practical plan covering spoil removal, access routes and protection for lawns and paths. Our groundwork package can include foundations, concrete slabs, retaining walls, access roads and drainage upgrades, delivered to spec and with photo updates. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, so you get responsive scheduling and reliable aftercare. Work is completed with safety, neatness and long-term performance as the priority.
Projects in the London Borough of Bromley often involve tight drive access, controlled parking and careful neighbour considerations. In Eden Park, we plan deliveries and muck-away to suit residential roads and protect existing kerbs, fences and planting. We also account for older property drainage layouts and the need for precise falls away from the house. If your plot sits near parkland edges or has mature trees, we adjust excavation methods and retention solutions accordingly.

Costs vary with access, depth of dig, spoil removal and whether you need drainage or concrete. As a guide, small site clearance and levelling may start around £800–£2,000. Excavation with waste removal and sub-base prep for a patio/drive often falls in the £2,500–£7,500 range. Foundations, drainage runs and concrete slabs can take projects to £6,000–£20,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most domestic groundwork jobs take 2–10 working days, depending on scope. Simple levelling and sub-base preparation can be completed in a few days, while excavation, drainage installation and concrete work typically take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, the amount of spoil to remove, weather, and curing time for concrete. If unexpected services or poor ground are found, we’ll agree a revised plan before proceeding.
Many garden groundwork projects are permitted development, especially like-for-like repairs, patios and general landscaping. However, rules can apply for new or altered access, significant retaining walls, changes to drainage, or driveway surfacing where water must not run to the street. Some properties may have restrictions or be affected by nearby considerations. We’ll flag likely permissions, recommend compliant permeable solutions, and help you gather the right information before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for qualifying groundwork installations, including sub-base preparation, drainage we install, and concrete work completed to our specification. The warranty covers defects caused by installation issues, such as settlement from inadequate compaction or incorrect falls. It does not cover damage from third-party works, extreme events, or changes made after completion. We also give clear maintenance guidance to protect your investment.
We can build groundwork to suit many finishes and layouts, including reinforced concrete slabs for garden rooms, MOT Type 1 sub-bases for patios and driveways, and engineered drainage systems with soakaways where appropriate. Retaining walls can be formed in concrete, blockwork with render, or brick to match your home. We’ll advise on levels, falls, access road build-ups and permeable options, then coordinate the groundwork so your chosen surface installs cleanly.
