Those steep slopes common to Lewisham's terraced properties need more than just planting - they need structure. Hard landscaping transforms challenging gardens into stunning, functional spaces that work year-round.

Victorian terraces throughout SE13 often come with narrow side returns and sloping rear gardens that feel impossible to tame. Stone patios, brick pathways and timber decking create level zones where families can actually enjoy their outdoor space. Many Lewisham homeowners discover their awkward 6m x 15m plot becomes a series of beautiful terraces once properly landscaped.
Quality groundwork prevents the subsidence issues that plague poorly installed patios across South East London's clay soil. Proper drainage channels direct rainwater away from foundations - crucial when your neighbour's garden sits three feet higher. Natural stone or composite materials withstand freeze-thaw cycles better than budget alternatives, maintaining their appearance through decades of British weather.
Twenty years installing patios between Catford and Blackheath means understanding exactly which materials suit each property type. Local knowledge matters when matching York stone to period features or selecting modern porcelain for contemporary extensions.
