Honor Oak’s hills and views demand outdoor spaces that are as functional as they are attractive. We design and build patios, pathways, retaining walls, steps and edging that feel settled into the garden, not simply added on. Whether you’re near Honor Oak Park station or walking routes up One Tree Hill, we create hardscapes that handle footfall, rainfall and everyday family use. Every build starts with careful levels, drainage planning and a finish that complements your home.
Local homes in SE23 range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to well-loved 1930s semis, each with different access and layout quirks. Front gardens often need smarter driveway solutions, while rear gardens benefit from terracing, steps and crisp edging to manage changes in level. Our team is based just 20 minutes away, so we understand how quickly weather and shade can affect surfaces in this part of South London. If you’re comparing options across Forest Hill or Brockley borders, we’ll guide you on what performs best long-term.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, measured design, itemised quote, then a scheduled build with daily updates. We excavate properly, install the right foundations, and specify drainage where needed so paving stays stable and water moves away from the house. You’ll get clean edges, consistent falls, and a finish that looks sharp years later. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, considerate working practices, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
The hard landscaping Honor Oak area often involves sloping plots, mixed ground conditions and tight access through terraced side returns. We plan spoil removal, deliveries and parking with neighbours in mind and keep pathways safe and tidy during works. For hard landscaping in London Borough of Lewisham, we also consider surface-water run-off and specify permeable or drained solutions where appropriate. The result is a build that suits the street, the property style and the practical realities of SE23.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, levels and materials, but typical ranges in SE23 are: patios from about £120–£220 per m² installed, pathways from £90–£170 per m², and driveways from £130–£250 per m² depending on sub-base and drainage. Walls and steps are usually priced per linear metre or per step. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit so you can compare like-for-like.
A small patio or path often takes 3–7 working days, while a larger patio with steps, walls and drainage can take 2–4 weeks. Driveways typically take 1–2 weeks depending on excavation depth and whether permeable construction is required. Timescales are affected by access (common with terraces), ground conditions, curing time for concrete, and weather. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated.
Many patios, paths and garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, proximity to highways, and whether your property is listed or in a conservation area. Driveways may need extra care around drainage: new or replaced front surfaces should usually be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your boundary. We’ll flag any likely permissions, advise on compliant build-ups, and help you avoid costly rework.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base, poor compaction, or incorrect falls and drainage installation. Materials are covered by their manufacturers’ guarantees where applicable. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that you follow basic care advice (for example, avoiding de-icing salts on certain stones). If a problem arises, we assess promptly and put it right.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone or limestone for a natural look, and block paving for driveways with strong edging detail. For sloped gardens, we often combine retaining walls (brick or concrete block faced), wide steps, and landings to create usable terraces. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit Victorian and Edwardian brickwork, and we can add drainage channels, recessed edging, and lighting-ready foundations.
