Sydenham’s leafy streets and nearby green spaces such as Sydenham Wells Park and Sydenham Hill Wood inspire gardens with structure, seasonal colour and privacy. Our landscape gardener contractors sydenham area service covers garden design, planting design, soft landscaping and lawn installation. Whether you’re refreshing borders or reworking the whole layout, we plan for year-round interest and low-stress upkeep. We also work across SE26, including Lower Sydenham and Bell Green.
Many gardens here belong to Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with long plots, mature boundaries and shaded corners. We design planting that suits these conditions, balancing evergreen backbone with flowering layers. In Forest Hill and Penge, access can be tight and levels can vary, so we specify practical materials and workable construction details. The aim is a garden that complements period architecture and feels coherent from the first step outside.
We start with a site visit to measure, assess light, drainage and existing trees, then present a clear design and planting plan. Once approved, our team schedules the works, protects paths and interiors, and keeps the site clean and safe. We use proven suppliers, install to specification, and provide aftercare guidance plus optional maintenance plans. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, consistent workmanship and a finish that lasts.
As landscape gardener contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to SE26 plots with mixed light, mature trees and occasional heavy clay. We plan drainage and soil improvement before lawns or new borders go in. Access and parking can be restricted on residential roads, so we schedule deliveries carefully and keep materials compact and tidy. Where gardens back onto wooded areas near Dulwich Wood, we select resilient plants and manage leaf fall sensibly.

Costs depend on size, access and the scope of design and soft landscaping. As a guide, border planting and small renovations often start around £1,000–£3,000. Lawn installation is commonly £40–£90 per m² depending on groundwork and turf type. A full garden renovation with design, planting, soil improvement and multiple areas can range from £8,000–£25,000+. We provide itemised options after a survey.
Smaller jobs such as border planting or a lawn replacement typically take 1–3 days. A medium renovation with new beds, soil improvement and planting design is often 1–2 weeks. Larger projects with extensive clearance, level changes and staged planting can take 3–6 weeks. Timescales vary with access, weather, drying times for ground preparation, and plant availability. We agree a schedule in writing before work starts.
Most soft landscaping, planting and lawn works are permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, significant changes to levels, boundary works, or if you’re affecting protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders). If your property is a period conversion or near protected woodland, we’ll flag potential constraints early. We can help you check Lewisham Council guidance and, where needed, support the application process.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering defects caused by installation issues. This includes failures linked to poor preparation or incorrect construction methods, subject to normal use and reasonable maintenance. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on watering, weather and aftercare; we’ll advise on care and can maintain the garden for you. Any manufacturer warranties on materials are passed on where applicable.
We tailor designs to your home and how you use the space, from formal layouts to naturalistic planting. Popular options include evergreen structure with seasonal perennials, wildlife-friendly borders, shade planting for tree-lined gardens, and robust lawns for families. We can specify premium topsoil, mulch and edging details to sharpen the finish. If you want lower maintenance, we’ll propose plant palettes with longer flowering windows and fewer high-input species.
