Brockley gardens often need practical, well-finished hardscapes that complement period brickwork and mature planting. We design and build patios, pathways, walls, steps and edging that feel like they belong with the property. Whether you’re near Brockley Market or walking distance from Hilly Fields, we tailor levels, drainage and materials to your plot. The result is a garden you can use year-round, not just on sunny weekends.
Our team regularly works across SE4 and nearby Honor Oak, Crofton Park and Ladywell, where Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses bring their own quirks. Narrow side returns, basement lightwells and shared boundaries can affect access and setting-out. We’re used to mansion conversions too, where communal areas need robust detailing and safe steps. That local experience helps us avoid surprises and keep the finish consistent with the building’s character.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check run-off and discuss how you want to use the space. You’ll receive a clear written specification covering foundations, sub-bases, falls, drainage and edging details—so there’s no guesswork. Our installations are built to last, with careful compaction, clean cuts and neat pointing. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful neighbours-first working practices, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Hard landscaping Brockley area projects often involve clay-heavy soils and mature tree roots, so we adjust foundation depths and drainage accordingly. Many SE4 streets have limited parking and tight access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary walls, party fences and level changes common around Victorian terraces near New Cross and Crofton Park. For hard landscaping in London Borough of Lewisham, we build with permeable options and compliant drainage where needed.

Costs vary by materials, access and groundwork. In Brockley, a straightforward patio typically starts around £120–£200 per m² installed, while premium stone can be £220–£350+ per m². Driveways range widely, often £90–£180 per m² depending on permeable requirements and sub-base depth. Walls, steps and drainage are usually priced as separate items after a site survey and level check.
Most patio and pathway projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size, cuts and detailing. A driveway commonly takes 1–2 weeks, especially if excavation is deep or drainage channels and soakaways are required. Walls, steps and raised planters can add several days. Timescales are affected by access through terraced homes, waste removal logistics, curing times for concrete, and any unforeseen ground conditions.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can apply to front driveways and drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway, using permeable surfacing or directing water to a soakaway is often required to avoid planning permission. Listed buildings and conservation considerations may also affect walls and boundary changes. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and can help you confirm details with Lewisham Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our hard landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as unstable sub-bases, poor compaction, incorrect falls, or failing jointing. Materials are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty where applicable, and we’ll explain what’s included for your chosen products. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage isn’t altered after completion. We also provide care guidance to keep surfaces looking their best.
We offer a wide range of options, including porcelain paving, sandstone and granite, clay and concrete pavers, resin-bound surfacing, and setts for edging. For walls and steps, popular choices include London stock brick, reclaimed brick, and natural stone copings. We can incorporate channels, ACO drains and discreet soakaways where needed. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your home’s style, budget, and slip resistance requirements.
