If you want a garden that looks sharp without constant weekend work, we design and build practical, premium solutions across SE13. From homes near Hither Green station to family gardens by Mountsfield Park, we create spaces that stay neat through every season. Expect clean lines, durable materials and planting that doesn’t turn into a chore. The result is a garden you can use more, and maintain less.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often have long, narrow plots and limited side access. We plan layouts that make the most of space, improve drainage, and reduce messy borders. Container planting can add colour without digging up the whole garden, while gravel areas and evergreen structure keep things looking intentional. Our designs suit family life, pets and entertaining, without high-maintenance lawns and fussy beds.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a written scope so you know exactly what you’re getting. Our team handles everything from groundwork and weed membrane to hard landscaping, irrigation and finishing details. We keep the site tidy, communicate timings, and work efficiently—Hither Green is around 25 minutes from our base. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, premium materials and a finish that lasts.
Gardens around Lee, Grove Park and Lewisham often have clay-heavy soil and shaded sections, so we specify drainage layers, robust evergreens and low-fuss groundcovers. Access can be tight on terrace streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and staging to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary heights, overlooking and practical family use when setting levels and screening. For low maintenance gardens in London Borough of Lewisham, we build with durability and tidy edges in mind.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small refresh with weed membrane, gravel and container planting may start around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size gardens with composite decking and evergreen planting often sit in the £8,000–£18,000 range. Full transformations including artificial grass, hard landscaping and automated irrigation can be £18,000–£45,000+. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit in SE13.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and hard landscaping. A simple gravel-and-planting scheme can be completed in a few days, while decking, artificial grass and new levels usually need 7–15 working days. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, curing time for concrete bases, and whether irrigation or lighting is included. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Most low maintenance garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing turf with artificial grass, adding gravel areas, installing decking at a sensible height, and general hard landscaping. However, rules can apply to raised platforms, changes to drainage, boundary walls/fences, and properties in conservation areas. We’ll flag any potential issues early, advise on permeable surfaces where needed, and help you check Lewisham requirements before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible hard landscaping installations, giving you confidence in the build quality. This covers issues arising from installation defects, such as movement or failure of properly constructed bases and edging, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties also apply to products like composite decking and artificial grass, depending on the chosen range. We explain what’s covered in writing with your quote.
We tailor each scheme to how you use the space and how much upkeep you want. Popular options include premium artificial grass, composite decking in contemporary greys or warm tones, gravel courtyards with crisp edging, and evergreen planting for structure. Automated irrigation can be zoned for borders and containers, while raised planters keep things tidy. We’ll show samples, propose layouts, and recommend finishes that suit your home and budget.
