Our team covers garden design, patios, driveways, fencing, planting schemes and water features. The result is a garden that complements your home and improves how you use it day to day.
SE23 is known for Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus period conversions with compact courtyards and longer rear gardens. We’re used to working with narrow side access, shared boundaries and existing features that need integrating rather than ripping out. For homes around Honor Oak, Sydenham and Dulwich edges, we can create cleaner lines with hard landscaping while keeping the softness of planting. Every scheme is tailored to light levels, privacy needs and how you want the space to function.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear brief, then provide a design and itemised proposal. Our landscaper contractors forest hill area team manages groundworks, drainage, levels and finishes so the build runs smoothly. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and quality materials chosen for longevity. Local homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent workmanship and back it with a 10-year warranty.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. In SE23, a small patio refresh might start around £1,500–£3,500, while a new medium patio with proper sub-base and drainage is often £4,000–£9,000. Driveways commonly range from £6,000–£15,000+ depending on paving and excavation. Full garden redesigns with fencing, planting and lighting can run £10,000–£30,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Timescales depend on scope and ground conditions. A straightforward fence replacement may take 1–3 days, while a patio or small hard landscaping project typically takes 1–2 weeks including groundworks. Driveways often take 1–3 weeks, especially if drainage changes are needed. A full garden design and build can take 3–8 weeks. Weather, access through period properties, and material lead times can all affect the programme.
Many garden projects are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need compliant permeable surfacing or drainage to a suitable soakaway, and front garden works can be restricted in some cases. Fencing height limits also apply, particularly at the front boundary. If your home is a flat conversion or in a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We check requirements and advise before work starts.
