From Sydenham Wells Park to the edges of Dulwich Wood, buyers expect green, well-finished outdoor space that matches the area’s leafy character. We provide housing development landscaping sydenham area teams for show home gardens, front and rear plots, and communal areas. Our work is designed to photograph well, stand up to footfall, and meet practical site requirements. We regularly support schemes across SE26 and nearby Forest Hill and Lower Sydenham.
Sydenham’s mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often sits alongside newer infill builds and small apartment schemes. That variety calls for sensitive boundary treatments, smart street planting, and driveways that complement brickwork and heritage details. We plan layouts that maximise usable space on tighter plots, improve kerb appeal on wider frontages, and create consistent finishes across multiple units. Expect planting palettes that feel established, not “just planted”.
We start with a site visit and programme review, then produce a clear scope for each plot and shared area, including specifications and phasing. Our teams coordinate deliveries, access and tidy handovers so other trades can keep moving. Quality checks are built into each stage, from sub-bases and drainage to final planting and mulching. Local clients choose us for dependable timelines, transparent communication, and aftercare that keeps developments looking their best.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham means factoring in varied soil conditions, mature tree roots and occasional sloping plots near woodland edges. Access can be tight on residential streets around Bell Green and Penge, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design with period streetscapes in mind, choosing materials and planting that sit comfortably beside older façades. Where required, we help you align details with council expectations and site constraints.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and phasing, but typical ranges in SE26 are: show home garden packages from £7,500–£25,000; front garden and driveway combinations from £6,000–£18,000; rear gardens from £4,000–£15,000. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per m² and per tree, often £40–£120/m² plus tree supply. Final pricing depends on drainage, levels and access.
A single plot front and rear garden commonly takes 3–7 working days once the ground is ready. A show home garden may take 1–3 weeks depending on paving, lighting, bespoke joinery and planting maturity. Communal areas and street planting are typically scheduled in phases over several weeks to match build progress. Timescales are affected by weather, access, curing times for concrete, and whether levels and drainage need correction.
Many garden and driveway works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or drainage to a suitable area, and works near highways, trees, or within conservation constraints can trigger extra requirements. For developments, planning conditions and S278/S38 interfaces can also apply. We review drawings, check likely council rules in Lewisham, and flag anything that should be approved before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering installation defects on items such as paving, sub-bases, edging, retaining features and constructed elements, subject to normal use and maintenance. Planting is covered separately because living materials depend on care and weather; we’ll agree an aftercare plan and can include replacement terms within a maintenance contract. Snagging is handled promptly, with clear sign-off documentation.
For Sydenham schemes we often specify porcelain or sandstone paving, resin-bound or permeable block driveways, and timber or composite fencing with acoustic upgrades where needed. Planting commonly includes multi-stem trees, evergreen structure, and pollinator-friendly perennials for year-round interest. We can add lighting, irrigation sleeves, bike/bin stores and neat boundary detailing to lift kerb appeal. We’ll guide choices based on budget, maintenance levels and the target buyer profile.
