Forest Hill’s artistic feel deserves outdoor spaces with real character, whether you’re near the Horniman Museum or a short walk from Forest Hill station. We provide full garden design and build, covering hard landscaping, soft landscaping and finishing details that elevate the whole property. Expect crisp paving, well-planned levels and planting that delivers year-round structure. We work across SE23 and nearby streets with respect for neighbours and tidy site management.
Many homes in Forest Hill are Victorian and Edwardian houses or period conversions, often with long rear gardens and tricky access. We design layouts that suit narrow side returns, stepped plots and existing mature trees, while keeping drainage and durability front of mind. If you’re close to Honor Oak or Dulwich, we can match materials and detailing to local architectural styles. The result is a garden that feels intentional, not pieced together.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a practical design proposal you can visualise. Once agreed, we schedule trades in the right order—groundworks, drainage, structures, then planting—so everything performs as well as it looks. You’ll get transparent specifications, courteous on-site teams and a 10-year warranty on workmanship for qualifying installations. Local homeowners trust us for punctuality, clean finishes and solutions that last.
As landscaping contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to mixed ground conditions and sloping plots around Blythe Hill Fields and Devonshire Road Nature Reserve. Many SE23 roads have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and material storage carefully. We also factor in surface water management, especially where impermeable paving could cause pooling. The build is adapted to your plot, access route and the council’s practical requirements.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification. As a guide, small patio or fencing projects often start from £1,500–£4,000. Mid-size upgrades combining paving, planting and new boundaries commonly fall around £8,000–£20,000. Full garden design and build with drainage, lighting, decking and premium materials can range from £25,000–£60,000+. We provide itemised quotes after a site visit in SE23.
Timescales depend on scope and weather. A straightforward patio or fence replacement typically takes 2–5 days. A driveway, decking area or mixed hard/soft landscaping project often runs 1–3 weeks. Full garden transformations with levels, drainage, water features and planting are usually 3–8 weeks. Access constraints near terraced homes, curing times for concrete and bespoke joinery can extend programmes slightly.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway, and front garden works can be restricted in conservation areas. Walls, fences and gates have height limits, especially next to highways. We’ll flag likely requirements early, check Lewisham guidance, and recommend compliant options before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for qualifying hard landscaping installations, such as patios, paving bases, retaining details, fencing and decking structures, when built to our specification. This covers defects caused by installation issues, not accidental damage or lack of maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like paving, composite decking or pumps for water features. You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
We design to suit your home and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain paving for a clean contemporary look, sandstone for warmer tones, and clay pavers that complement Victorian brickwork. For boundaries, we install closeboard, slatted or trellis-topped fencing, plus timber or composite decking. Planting can be formal and structured or softer and wildlife-friendly. We’ll help you choose finishes based on light, maintenance and budget.
