Honor Oak’s sloping streets and big views deserve gardens that are easy to live with, not another weekend job. We design practical outdoor spaces that cope with shade, foot traffic and changeable weather. From gravel areas and weed membrane to evergreen planting, everything is chosen to reduce upkeep. We regularly work near One Tree Hill and around SE23 homes.
Our team knows the mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis common around Honor Oak Park station. Many gardens are long and narrow, with stepped levels and limited side access, so materials and logistics matter. We plan layouts that maximise usable space without constant mowing, pruning or weeding. If you’re comparing low maintenance gardens Honor Oak area options, we’ll show what performs best on your plot.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a simple design that prioritises longevity. Then we install the build-up properly—sub-bases, drainage, edging and membranes—so the finish stays tidy. You’ll get a clear schedule, tidy working practices and aftercare guidance. Local homeowners recommend us because we communicate well and deliver durable results, not quick fixes.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often find clay-heavy soils, shaded boundaries and gardens on a gradient—common around Honor Oak and nearby Forest Hill. We specify drainage layers, stable edging and suitable planting to prevent waterlogging and mess. Access can be tight on terrace streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to keep disruption low. The result is a garden that stays neat through all seasons.

Costs depend on size, levels and the mix of finishes. As a guide, gravel areas with weed membrane and edging often start from £1,500–£4,000 for small gardens. Artificial grass installations are commonly £70–£120 per m² including groundworks. Composite decking typically ranges from £140–£220 per m². Full low-maintenance redesigns with planting and irrigation can be £6,000–£25,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on access, levels and how much hard landscaping is involved. A straightforward artificial grass area may be completed in 2–4 days, while composite decking with steps, planters and lighting can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales change with drainage needs, removal of old patios, and curing time for concrete bases. We confirm a realistic programme after the survey.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing lawns, adding gravel areas, installing decking at sensible heights, and general hard landscaping. However, rules can apply for raised platforms, boundary changes, drainage to the public sewer, or if your property is in a conservation area. We’ll flag likely issues during the visit and can advise on permeable surfaces and compliant drainage so your project stays within Lewisham guidance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as unstable sub-bases, poor edging, or defective build-ups. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking boards, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we’ll pass those details to you. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable care, and we’ll explain maintenance steps that protect your finish.
We tailor the design to how you use the space and how much time you want to spend on it. Popular options include premium artificial grass for play areas, composite decking for dining zones, and gravel with crisp edging for low-effort paths and seating. Planting often focuses on evergreens, architectural shrubs and container planting for flexibility. We’ll present samples and a simple palette so everything ties together and stays easy to maintain.
