New builds around SE6 often come with compact lawns, uneven levels and minimal planting. We create complete outdoor spaces that feel established from day one, whether you’re near Catford Broadway or a short walk from Mountsfield Park. Our team handles everything from the first sketch to the final tidy-up. The result is a garden that looks great, drains well and is easy to maintain.
Catford is a regenerating area with a strong community and improving amenities, and gardens here vary widely. We regularly work alongside Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties, where access can be tight and levels can change quickly from front to back. If you’re extending a new build plot behind an older home, we can blend materials and planting so it feels cohesive. We also support developers with show home gardens that photograph well and sell the lifestyle.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then a clear design and itemised quote. We schedule works to minimise disruption, protect neighbouring boundaries and keep the site safe and tidy. Every installation is built to last, using proper sub-bases, quality fixings and proven planting plans. Homeowners trust us for straightforward communication, reliable timelines and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often find mixed ground conditions and clay-heavy soils that need careful drainage and soil improvement. Catford streets can mean controlled parking and narrow side access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and material handling to suit. We also consider neighbouring fences, shared boundaries and changes in level common to older plots. The aim is a tidy build that works with local constraints, not against them.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. In Catford, a simple finish (turf, basic planting and minor levelling) often starts around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-range garden with patio, fencing and improved drainage is commonly £7,000–£15,000. Larger plots or show home gardens with premium paving, lighting and bespoke features can be £15,000–£30,000+. We provide itemised options to match your budget.
Most new build landscaping projects in SE6 take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork. Turfing and planting can be completed in a few days, while patios, pathways, fencing and drainage usually extend the programme. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing times for mortar/concrete and whether levels need significant adjustment. We agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, including patios, paths, turfing, planting and standard fencing within height limits. Permission may be needed for works that change levels significantly, affect drainage to the public highway, or if the property is listed or within specific design constraints from the developer. Rules can also apply to front gardens and permeable surfacing. We’ll flag any risks early and help you check Lewisham requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for core installations such as patios, pathways, drainage and fencing, provided they’re used normally and maintained sensibly. This covers issues like settlement caused by incorrect build-up, loose edging due to poor fixing, or drainage failures from improper falls. Planting and turf are living materials, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance plans to help everything establish well.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a warmer, traditional look, and resin-bound or gravel paths for permeability. For boundaries, closeboard fencing suits privacy, while slatted screens add a modern finish. Planting often combines evergreen structure with pollinator-friendly perennials, plus raised beds for small spaces. We guide you through samples, layout options and a planting plan that suits light levels, soil and how you use the garden.
