From smart front driveways to family-friendly patios, we deliver hard landscaping that improves how your outdoor space works day to day. Many of our projects are around Hither Green station and close to Mountsfield Park, where gardens often need better levels and clearer routes. We install patios, pathways, walls, steps, edging and drainage with a focus on clean lines and solid construction. Every build starts with careful setting-out so the finished space feels intentional, not pieced together.
Hither Green is a popular family area with excellent schools and a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. These properties often have narrow side access, stepped thresholds and front gardens that benefit from well-planned paths, retaining walls and practical edging. We design finishes that complement period brickwork and traditional garden proportions while keeping maintenance sensible. If you’re near Manor Park or bordering Lee, we can match materials to the character of surrounding streets.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, measured plan, clear specification, then a scheduled build with daily tidy-ups. We excavate properly, install robust foundations, and use the right sub-bases and falls to reduce puddling and movement. You’ll get transparent options on materials and detailing before work begins, plus regular updates while we’re on site. Local homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, neat workmanship and aftercare that doesn’t disappear once the last slab is laid.
Working across the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to clay-heavy soils and gardens that hold water after rain, so drainage and falls are designed in from the start. Many SE13 streets have limited parking and tight access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. Period properties around Hither Green often have uneven plots and old garden structures, which we assess before excavation. Our hard landscaping hither green area approach is practical, tidy and built around how you actually use the space.

Costs vary with access, ground conditions and material choice. As a guide, patios often start from around £120–£200 per m² installed, while premium stone can be higher. Driveways typically range from £90–£180 per m² depending on the system and drainage needs. Steps, walls and drainage are usually priced as separate items after a site survey, especially where levels or retaining are involved.
Most patio or pathway projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size, cuts and edging details. A new driveway is commonly 5–10 working days, especially if drainage channels or deeper excavation are required. Walls and steps can add several days where foundations need time and levels are complex. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing time, and whether we’re removing old concrete or unstable sub-bases.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway, we’ll advise on permeable options or suitable drainage to comply with regulations. Some properties may have restrictions due to conservation considerations or specific planning conditions. We check the details relevant to your address and confirm what’s needed before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by installation, and defects linked to our construction methods. It also includes problems arising from incorrect falls or drainage we’ve installed. Normal wear, accidental damage and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We’ll explain the warranty in writing and provide care guidance to keep surfaces looking their best.
We work with porcelain, sandstone, limestone, granite setts, concrete paving, brick edging and block paving, plus resin-bound options for suitable driveways. For walls and steps, we can use brick, natural stone or rendered finishes to suit your home. We’ll help you choose colours, laying patterns and jointing that complement Victorian and Edwardian details, while keeping slip resistance and maintenance in mind. Samples and a clear specification make decisions easier.
