Forest Hill gardens present unique opportunities – generous plots behind Edwardian villas, sloping terrain near Horniman Gardens, and those characteristic long Victorian terraces stretching back from the Devonshire Road conservation area. Each property requires thoughtful design that respects architectural heritage while creating something genuinely spectacular. Natural stone pathways complement original London stock brick, while contemporary water features echo the area's artistic spirit.
Materials selection begins with understanding your property's character – perhaps York stone to match original thresholds, or sleek porcelain for modern extensions common along Perry Vale. Drainage solutions tackle SE23's clay soil challenges through sophisticated SUDs systems hidden beneath elegant surfaces. Lighting schemes illuminate mature trees without disturbing neighbours in this close-knit community. Every element integrates seamlessly, from automated irrigation protecting investment planting to acoustic screening for those backing onto the South Circular.
Twenty years crafting gardens between Sydenham Hill and Honor Oak means understanding exactly which suppliers deliver on time to SE23. Long-standing relationships with Dulwich estates inform our approach to boundary treatments and planning considerations.

Absolutely – from the Conservation Area properties near Devonshire Road to modern developments around Forest Hill station, we work across all of SE23 and neighbouring Sydenham, Honor Oak and Dulwich borders.
Most Forest Hill gardens require 8-14 weeks from breaking ground to final planting, though complex terracing or extensive hardscaping can extend this to 16-20 weeks during busy periods.
All hardscaping carries decade-long protection against defects, while specialist features like water installations and lighting systems include comprehensive aftercare packages ensuring your investment remains pristine through SE23's changing seasons.
Those magnificent specimens common in Forest Hill gardens become design focal points – we work with certified arborists to assess health, implement protection measures during construction, and create schemes that celebrate rather than compromise established planting.
