Response within 24 hours
Brockley homeowners love outdoor space, but time for weeding and mowing is often limited. We create practical gardens that look polished week after week, whether you’re near Brockley Market or walking distance from Hilly Fields. Expect clean lines, durable surfaces and planting that keeps its shape through the seasons. The result is a garden you can enjoy, not constantly manage.
The Brockley area is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, many with long, narrow plots and shared side access. We design around typical constraints such as level changes, existing brick boundaries and limited storage. Our schemes suit family gardens in Honor Oak and compact courtyards around Crofton Park. Everything is planned to reduce mess, maximise usable space and simplify ongoing care.
We start with a site visit to understand how you use the garden, then produce a clear layout and materials plan. Our team installs weed membrane, hard landscaping and planting with careful preparation, so the finish stays sharp. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and aftercare guidance. Local clients choose us for reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, many gardens sit on clay-heavy soils that can hold water in winter and crack in summer. We specify the right sub-bases, drainage and permeable gravel build-ups to keep surfaces stable. Access can be tight on SE4 streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. Our designs also respect period features common to Brockley’s terraces and mansion blocks.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of features. As a guide, a small SE4 courtyard refresh with gravel, weed membrane and container planting may start around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size gardens with composite decking and evergreen planting often fall between £8,000–£18,000. Full transformations including artificial grass, hard landscaping and automated irrigation can be £20,000–£45,000+. We’ll itemise options to match your budget.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A simple gravel-and-planting scheme can be completed in a few days, while composite decking, new paving, steps and irrigation typically require 2–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through terraced properties, ground preparation, drainage needs and curing times for concrete bases. We provide a realistic programme before work begins and keep you updated daily.
Most low maintenance garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing lawns with artificial grass, adding decking at sensible heights, or installing gravel areas and planting. Rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, building high retaining walls, adding structures, or working on a listed building or within a conservation area. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on permeable surfaces and drainage expectations to stay compliant.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. This covers installation issues relating to our work, such as failures in sub-base preparation, laying standards for hard landscaping, or fixing methods for composite decking. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many materials, including composite boards and some artificial grass products. We’ll explain what’s covered, what maintenance is recommended, and how to report any concerns quickly.
We tailor designs to how you live, then choose materials that reduce upkeep. Popular options include realistic artificial grass for play areas, composite decking in modern greys or warm browns, and gravel zones with stabilising grids and weed membrane. Evergreen planting can include structured shrubs, grasses and low-litter varieties, plus container planting for patios and balconies. We bring samples, discuss drainage and slip resistance, and recommend finishes that suit your property style.
