New Cross gardens often need smart, space-efficient hard landscaping that works for busy households and shared entrances. We design and install patios, pathways, walls, steps and edging that suit SE14 layouts and lifestyles. Whether you’re near New Cross station or walking distance from Goldsmiths University, we’ll create a clean, practical finish that elevates the whole outdoor area. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication and a result that feels intentional, not pieced together.
Many homes around Deptford and Brockley are Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, which can bring tight side access, basement lightwells and uneven levels. We’re used to integrating steps, retaining walls and neat edging to make sloped plots usable. Where gardens back onto neighbouring boundaries, we build robust foundations and drainage to protect adjoining structures. Our designs also consider bins, bike storage and entertaining space—common priorities in this creative, high-energy neighbourhood.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground conditions and discuss how you want to use the space. You’ll receive a clear specification covering sub-base build-up, drainage strategy and material choices before work begins. Our team works to a planned programme, keeps access routes safe and leaves the site clean each day. Homeowners choose us for hard landscaping New Cross area projects because we combine premium finishes with reliable aftercare and a written 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, we often encounter mixed ground and older garden structures that need careful preparation. New Cross streets can mean restricted access, controlled parking and limited skip placement, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in level changes common around Telegraph Hill and nearby streets, setting accurate falls and drainage to protect paving and walls. The result is hard landscaping that performs well through heavy rain and daily use.

Costs vary by access, excavation depth and material choice. As a guide, patios typically range from £120–£220 per m² supplied and installed, while pathways are often £90–£160 per m². Driveways commonly fall between £140–£260 per m² depending on the base and drainage requirements. Walls, steps and foundations are priced by design and ground conditions. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SE14.
Most small patio or pathway projects take around 3–7 working days, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. A larger scheme combining a patio, steps, edging and drainage typically takes 1–3 weeks. Driveways can take 1–2 weeks depending on excavation, sub-base depth and curing times. Timings are affected by site levels, waste removal logistics, and whether we’re building retaining walls or new foundations. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Driveways and front garden paving may need compliant drainage (such as permeable surfacing or runoff to a soakaway) to avoid planning issues. If you’re altering boundary walls, working near highways, or your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We’ll flag likely requirements early and can help you check Lewisham guidance before work begins.
We provide a written 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, and failures linked to our construction methods. Materials are covered by the relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also give practical maintenance advice to keep paving, joints and drainage performing well.
We offer a wide range of finishes to suit New Cross properties, from Victorian terraces to modern conversions. Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone or limestone for a softer period look, and block paving or resin-bound surfaces for driveways. For walls and steps, we can use brickwork to match existing façades, or rendered/block solutions with coping stones. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, drainage, colour, and how the space will be used.
