Shortlands is known for large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-proportioned 1930s properties, often with generous rear gardens and mature boundaries. We design layouts that respect period detailing while improving day-to-day use—think better drainage, clearer routes, and seating that catches the light. If your plot has levels, older paths or tired lawns, we can rework it into a cohesive scheme. Our landscaping contractors Shortlands area clients value solutions that look smart year-round, not just in summer.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a design discussion, then provide a detailed specification for materials, levels and finishes. Our in-house team installs driveways, patios, fencing, decking and water features with careful groundwork and proper sub-bases. You’ll get realistic timescales, staged payments, and progress updates throughout. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and aftercare, backed by a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Gardens in BR2 often combine mature trees, shaded borders and clay-heavy ground that needs thoughtful drainage and soil improvement. Access can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to keep disruption down. We also factor in boundary heights, overlooking and existing levels common to Edwardian and 1930s plots. As landscaping contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we build to suit local conditions rather than forcing a one-size approach.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, small patio or fencing projects often start from £1,500–£4,000. Mid-sized garden upgrades with new patio, paths and planting commonly fall around £8,000–£20,000. Full redesigns with levels, drainage, lighting, premium paving or a driveway can be £25,000–£60,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit in Shortlands (BR2).
Timescales depend on complexity and weather. A new patio or section of fencing typically takes 2–5 working days. A driveway or larger hard landscaping package is often 1–3 weeks. Full garden design and build projects, including groundwork, drainage, paving, decking and planting, commonly take 3–8 weeks. Lead times for bespoke materials and the need to work around access or existing services can extend the programme.
Many garden projects are permitted development, but there are key exceptions. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or suitable drainage to comply with rules on surface water. Boundary treatments can be restricted by height, and listed buildings or conservation areas may have additional controls. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can advise on Bromley-specific considerations before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or incorrect installation. Materials are covered by the relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. Soft landscaping is naturally seasonal, but we advise on planting care and can return to address early establishment issues where agreed. Your paperwork will clearly set out what’s included.
We tailor designs to your home and how you use the garden. Popular options include porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, resin-bound driveways, composite or hardwood decking, and contemporary slatted or closeboard fencing. For planting, we often specify evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus low-maintenance borders for busy households. We’ll show samples, discuss slip resistance and upkeep, and produce a design that fits your budget and style.
