From plots near Shortlands station to schemes around Bromley and Beckenham, we create landscapes that match the quality of the build. Our team delivers everything from show home gardens and front garden kerb appeal to communal areas that feel established from day one. We also handle driveways, boundary treatments and coordinated street planting. The result is a development that photographs well, sells well and functions smoothly for residents.
Shortlands is known for large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, so new landscaping needs to sit comfortably alongside mature streets. We design planting palettes that echo local character while staying practical for modern maintenance. Where plots are compact, we maximise usable space with smart levels, lighting-ready layouts and durable surfaces. For larger sites, we plan clear circulation, bin store screening and robust communal planting.
We start with a site walkover, levels and access review, then produce a clear specification covering materials, planting and finishes. Work is programmed around build phases, with tidy handovers for sales launches and resident move-ins. You’ll get consistent supervision, quality checks and a documented aftercare plan. Homeowners and developers choose us for reliable timelines, high standards and straightforward communication.
We’re used to the access and parking constraints on residential roads around BR2, and we plan deliveries to minimise disruption. Soil conditions can vary between made ground and heavier clay, so we specify drainage, soil improvement and plant choices accordingly. We also factor in Bromley council expectations for visibility splays, street trees and sustainable surfacing where relevant. Our approach suits both infill plots and larger phases in the housing development landscaping Shortlands area.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, front and rear plot landscaping often starts around £6,000–£15,000 per unit, while premium show home gardens commonly range £15,000–£35,000+. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per phase, often from £10,000–£75,000+ depending on scope. We provide itemised budgets and value-engineering options.
A single plot (front and rear) typically takes 1–3 weeks, depending on levels, paving and planting. A show home garden may take 2–4 weeks to achieve a high-finish look. Communal areas and street planting are usually programmed in phases and can run 2–12+ weeks. Timescales are affected by weather, access, curing times for concrete, and coordination with utilities and snagging.
Many garden and driveway works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or drainage to comply with SuDS rules, and boundary heights can be restricted near highways. Some sites have planning conditions, tree constraints or conservation considerations. For housing development landscaping in London Borough of Bromley, we review approvals, check conditions and flag anything that needs consent before works start.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping, including paving build-ups, edging, steps and constructed features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Planting is covered by an establishment period agreed in the specification, with clear guidance on watering and aftercare. If an issue arises, we inspect promptly and put it right where it falls within the warranty terms. Maintenance contracts can extend performance and appearance.
Common choices include porcelain or sandstone paving, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, timber or composite decking, and contemporary slatted screens or brick-and-timber boundary treatments. Planting often mixes evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus low-maintenance grasses and pollinator-friendly perennials. We’ll tailor palettes to light levels and soil, and can match details to nearby period streets.
