A new-build garden often starts as compacted subsoil, uneven levels and minimal drainage. We create practical, attractive outdoor spaces across BR2, with projects near Shortlands station and around Beckenham and Bromley. Whether you want a family lawn, a low-maintenance courtyard or a show-home look, we plan every detail and build it properly. The result is a garden you can use straight away, not a long list of jobs.
Shortlands is known for large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, and new developments need landscaping that sits comfortably alongside them. We design layouts that respect mature boundaries, existing trees and the proportions of wider Bromley plots. If your garden is overlooked, we can add screening with fencing and structured planting. For entertaining, we’ll shape patios and pathways that suit how you move through the space.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear design proposal, then we schedule works to minimise disruption. We handle ground preparation, drainage and foundations before the visible finishes, so patios stay stable and lawns establish well. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, tidy working practices and straightforward communication. Every build is backed by quality materials and a written 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Ground conditions in the London Borough of Bromley can vary, so we assess soil, compaction and drainage before design is finalised. Access and parking around Shortlands station can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit on gentle slopes, which makes correct levels and falls essential for patios and pathways. We also work with boundary constraints common to established streets near Ravensbourne and Bickley.

Costs depend on garden size, access, levels and the finishes you choose. As a guide, a simple tidy-up with turfing and basic planting may start around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-range package with patio installation, fencing and new paths is often £8,000–£18,000. Larger, fully designed gardens with drainage, lighting allowances and premium paving can be £20,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A straightforward turfing and planting job can be completed in a few days, while patios, fencing, pathways and drainage typically extend the programme. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, the amount of excavation, curing time for bases, and delivery lead times for specialist paving or fencing panels. Weather can also influence turfing and finishing.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for front gardens, drainage to the public highway, listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. Permeable surfacing is important for some driveway and front-garden schemes. We’ll flag likely constraints early and, where needed, help you check requirements with the London Borough of Bromley before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a written 10-year warranty, focusing on structural elements such as patio and pathway sub-bases, retaining edges, and installed fencing where applicable. We also use manufacturer-backed products and follow their installation guidance to protect warranties on paving and materials. Living elements like turf and plants are covered for establishment issues when cared for as advised, with clear aftercare guidance provided.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean, modern patios, sandstone for a softer traditional feel, and resin-bound or gravel paths for permeability. For boundaries, closeboard fencing with trellis tops and integrated gates is common, often paired with evergreen screening. Planting schemes range from low-maintenance architectural beds to cottage-style mixes that suit period homes. We guide you through samples, layout options and maintenance levels to match your budget and lifestyle.
