Developments around Hither Green station and Mountsfield Park need landscaping that photographs well, wears well, and feels settled from day one. We create cohesive external works across show home gardens, front and rear plots, and shared spaces. Whether you’re delivering a small infill build or a multi-plot scheme in SE13, we plan planting, paving and boundaries to match the architecture and buyer expectations. The result is a consistent street scene and a strong first impression at handover.
Hither Green is a popular family area with excellent schools and a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, so kerb appeal matters. We design front gardens and driveways that suit period streets while meeting modern practical needs such as bins, bikes and parking. For new-build pockets near Lee, Lewisham and Grove Park, we balance contemporary detailing with robust materials that stand up to footfall. Planting schemes are selected to mature quickly and stay tidy through the seasons.
Our process starts with a site visit, drawings or marked-up plans, and a clear scope for each plot and communal zone. We coordinate groundworks, drainage falls, paving, turfing, boundary treatments and street planting to keep programmes moving. Every job is signed off against a checklist, and we offer maintenance contracts to protect the finish through sales and occupation. Homeowners and developers choose us for clean sites, reliable communication and consistent workmanship.
We’re used to tight access and controlled parking on residential streets around SE13, so deliveries and waste removal are planned to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can vary, so we specify suitable topsoil depths, drainage layers and planting mixes to avoid waterlogging. For works in the London Borough of Lewisham, we factor in dropped-kerb requirements, visibility splays and any constraints near mature trees. Our designs also respect the character of nearby Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes.

Costs depend on plot size, specification and how much is included (driveways, fencing, turfing, planting and communal works). As a guide, front and rear plot landscaping often starts from £3,000–£8,000 per plot, while higher-spec finishes with paving, lighting and premium planting can be £10,000–£25,000+. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced from drawings on a per-metre or per-area basis.
Timescales vary with the number of plots, access and weather, but a typical front-and-rear plot can take 1–3 weeks once groundworks are ready. Larger plots or premium details (porcelain paving, complex levels, extensive planting) may take 3–6 weeks. Communal areas are often phased alongside build programmes. Lead times for fencing, gates and specialist materials can also affect the schedule, so we plan procurement early.
Many garden and driveway works are permitted development, but there are important rules around drainage, dropped kerbs and materials. For example, new or replacement driveways over 5m² should use permeable surfacing or drain to a suitable soakaway rather than the highway. If your scheme is in a conservation area or has planning conditions, extra approvals may apply. We review drawings and constraints and can advise before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, steps, retaining details and boundary structures, subject to correct use and normal ground conditions. Planting and turf are living materials, so these are covered for establishment where agreed, with aftercare guidance and optional maintenance visits. Any snagging issues identified at handover are logged and resolved promptly to keep plots sale-ready.
We offer a wide range of options to suit the architecture and budget: porcelain or sandstone paving, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, timber or composite decking, and robust fencing with trellis or brick piers. For planting, we often specify evergreen structure with seasonal colour, low-maintenance shrubs, multi-stem feature trees and wildlife-friendly mixes. We’ll propose palettes that match brickwork and roof tones, then value-engineer where needed without losing the premium look.
