A well-planned seating area changes how you use your garden, whether it’s coffee outside or hosting friends for dinner. We design and build outdoor seating areas around Bromley South station and near The Glades Shopping Centre, creating practical zones that feel like an extension of the house. Choose built-in benches for space-saving comfort, or a dedicated dining space for family meals. Add shade structures and lighting so the area works from spring through to late evenings.
Bromley’s mix of large detached houses, Victorian villas and modern developments calls for tailored layouts and finishes. In Shortlands and Bickley, we often match materials to period brickwork and mature planting, keeping proportions generous and refined. For newer homes around BR1 and BR2, cleaner lines, porcelain paving and integrated lighting suit contemporary architecture. Wherever you are, we plan circulation, privacy and views so the seating feels intentional, not added on.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you want to use the space—sun lounging, dining, or a fire pit for evenings. You’ll receive a clear design proposal, material choices and an agreed schedule before work begins. Our team keeps the site tidy, protects access routes and communicates daily progress. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty on our builds.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, gardens often have changes in level and mixed ground conditions, so we set correct falls and drainage from day one. Access can be tight on some streets around Queens Gardens and Shortlands, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also consider neighbouring sightlines and mature trees common in Bromley plots. The result is outdoor seating areas Bromley area homeowners can use comfortably and confidently.

Costs vary with size, materials and features. As a guide, a simple patio seating area can start from around £3,000–£6,000. Mid-range builds with porcelain paving, built-in benches and lighting are often £7,000–£15,000. Larger designs with pergola seating, fire pit areas, steps, drainage and premium finishes can be £15,000–£30,000+. We’ll price after a site visit and specification.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once materials are on site. A straightforward patio and dining space may be completed in under a week, while pergolas, built-in benches, fire pits, lighting and multiple levels typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, ground preparation, drainage requirements, curing time for bases, and weather. We provide a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden seating areas, patios and low-level hard landscaping works are usually permitted development, so planning permission often isn’t required. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if the property is listed, or if structures like pergolas exceed certain limits or affect boundaries. We’ll advise during the survey and can help check any relevant London Borough of Bromley guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating area builds, covering installation issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-bases, poor jointing, or incorrect falls and drainage. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like paving, lighting and pergola components. The warranty assumes normal use and basic maintenance, and we’ll explain care requirements to keep your patio, benches and features performing well.
We design to suit your home and budget, offering porcelain paving, natural stone, clay pavers and textured concrete for patio areas. Seating can include built-in benches in brick, rendered blockwork or timber, plus pergola seating with slatted roofs or adjustable shade structures. Fire pit areas can be gas or wood-burning, with safe clearances planned in. We’ll guide you on slip resistance, colour tones and lighting placement for year-round use, including outdoor seating areas in London Borough of Bromley.
