Blackheath’s Georgian streets and broad open spaces set a high bar for external finishes, especially around Blackheath Common and Blackheath Village. We create complete landscape packages for housing schemes, including show home gardens, communal areas, and street planting. Whether you’re completing a small infill build or a multi-plot development, we keep the look cohesive across front and rear gardens. We also install boundary treatments and driveways that feel in keeping with SE3.
Local projects often sit alongside Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions, so detailing matters. We specify materials and planting that complement brickwork, iron railings and traditional proportions, while still being practical for modern living. For plots near The Paragon or routes towards Greenwich and Lee, we plan layouts that handle footfall, bins, bikes and parking. The result is an outdoor finish that looks established quickly and photographs well for marketing.
Our process starts with a site visit and a clear scope: levels, drainage, access, and a phased programme that matches your build schedule. You’ll get straightforward specifications, tidy workmanship, and consistent quality across every plot and communal space. We protect new surfaces, manage deliveries, and keep neighbours informed where needed. Homeowners and developers choose us for dependable timelines, crisp detailing, and maintenance contracts that keep landscapes looking sharp after handover.
Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we plan for controlled parking, narrow access and delivery restrictions common near SE3. Ground conditions vary, so we assess compaction, drainage and levels before laying turf, paving or planting. We also consider conservation-style streetscapes and the visual expectations around period properties. Where approvals are needed, we help you align designs with local guidance and practical site constraints.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and how much is included (driveways, fencing, planting and communal works). As a guide, front-and-rear garden packages often start from £3,000–£8,000 per plot, while higher-spec schemes with paving, lighting and premium planting can reach £10,000–£25,000+. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per m² and by plant schedule after a site survey.
A single plot can often be completed in 3–10 working days, depending on hard landscaping, access and weather. Larger plots or show home gardens with patios, pergolas and detailed planting may take 2–4 weeks. Communal areas and street planting are usually phased alongside construction and services sign-off. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, level changes, drainage requirements and lead times for materials.
Many garden works are permitted development, but there are common exceptions. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or drainage to comply with rules on surface water run-off. Boundary walls and fences can have height limits, and conservation considerations may apply in parts of Blackheath. We flag likely permissions early, check constraints, and can work with your architect or planning consultant to keep the scheme compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship-related failures such as paving movement due to incorrect sub-base preparation. Soft landscaping is supported with practical aftercare guidance and can be protected further through a maintenance contract, which helps plants establish and keeps lawns and beds in good condition. Warranty terms depend on specification, site conditions and correct use, all confirmed at handover.
Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone paving, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, closeboard or slatted fencing, brick piers, and iron-style railings for period-sensitive frontages. Planting often blends evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus low-maintenance shrubs for communal areas. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit Georgian and Victorian streetscapes, meet drainage needs, and stay within budget while keeping a consistent look across the development.
