Fine Landscaping delivers premium hard landscaping for BR2 homeowners, with designs that suit Shortlands’ calm, well-kept streets. Whether you’re upgrading a tired patio or reworking levels with steps and retaining walls, we create clean lines and durable finishes. We regularly work near Shortlands station and around Bromley and Beckenham, so access and logistics are familiar. Expect workmanship that complements your property and improves how you use the garden year-round.
The Shortlands area features large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and many 1930s properties, often with generous front gardens and varied levels. We tailor foundations, edging and drainage to match existing brickwork, period detailing and boundary lines. If you want a smarter approach drive, a wider path to the side return, or a terrace for entertaining, we plan it to look original to the home. Our hard landscaping Shortlands area service also considers privacy, planting interfaces and practical storage zones.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear written specification, then provide material samples and layout options. Every build is set out precisely, with proper sub-bases, falls and drainage to reduce puddling and movement. We keep the site tidy, communicate daily progress, and schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality, transparent pricing, and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Shortlands gardens often have mixed ground conditions and mature tree roots, so we design foundations and drainage accordingly. Parking and access can be tighter near Shortlands station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low. Working in the hard landscaping in London Borough of Bromley area means considering SuDS-friendly driveway options and boundary requirements. We also factor in level changes common around Ravensbourne and Bickley approaches.

Costs depend on size, access, ground preparation and material choice. As a guide, quality patios often range from £120–£220 per m² installed, while driveways commonly fall between £140–£260 per m² depending on the sub-base and edging. Walls and steps are usually priced by design and height, often from £250–£600+ per linear metre. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site survey in BR2.
Most patio or pathway projects take around 3–7 working days once materials are on site. Driveways typically take 5–10 days, especially if excavation, new sub-bases and drainage channels are required. Walls, steps and level changes can extend a project to 2–3 weeks depending on curing times and complexity. Timings are affected by access near properties, weather, and whether we’re integrating lighting, drainage runs or foundations for future structures.
Many patios, paths and garden walls are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front driveways may need permeable surfacing or suitable drainage to comply with SuDS rules, and higher boundary walls can require consent. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, additional restrictions may apply. We’ll advise on requirements for your address, check relevant guidance, and design the hard landscaping to meet Bromley’s expectations.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our hard landscaping installations. This covers issues arising from installation defects, such as movement due to inadequate sub-base preparation, poor jointing, or incorrect falls where specified. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll pass those details to you in writing. Normal wear, accidental damage and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise.
Shortlands homeowners often choose porcelain paving for low-maintenance patios, sandstone for a softer period look, and clay or concrete pavers for driveways. For walls and steps, we regularly use matching brickwork, rendered blockwork, or natural stone copings to suit Edwardian and 1930s homes. Edging options include granite setts, steel edging and brick-on-edge details. We help you compare slip resistance, colour tones, jointing styles and long-term upkeep before you decide.
