From quick coffees to long summer dinners, we create seating zones that make your garden easier to use. Around Hither Green station and Mountsfield Park, many gardens benefit from smarter layouts that balance play space with relaxing areas. We can add built-in benches, dining spaces and sun lounging areas that suit how your household actually lives. Lighting and shade structures finish the space so it works well beyond warm afternoons.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often come with long, narrow plots and level changes that need careful planning. We design outdoor seating areas hither green area homeowners can enjoy without losing valuable planting space. For period properties, we’ll match materials and detailing to existing brickwork and garden walls. Where access is tight, we plan deliveries and installation methods to protect hallways, side returns and neighbouring boundaries.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear design options and a fully itemised quotation—no vague allowances. We handle ground preparation properly, including drainage falls, stable sub-bases and tidy edges that keep patios looking sharp. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful workmanship and clean handovers. With a 10-year warranty and aftercare advice, your new seating area is built to last.
We regularly work on outdoor seating areas in London Borough of Lewisham, including SE13 streets near Manor Park and Lee. Clay-heavy soils and compacted ground can affect stability, so we specify the right sub-base depth and edging restraints. Access can be restricted on terrace rows, and parking controls vary, so we plan loading, waste removal and deliveries to minimise disruption. Materials are chosen to complement period façades while staying practical for family use.

Costs vary by size, access and the features you choose. As a guide, a small patio seating area may start from around £2,500–£5,000, while larger patio and dining spaces with built-in benches often fall in the £6,000–£12,000 range. Pergola seating, lighting and a fire pit area can take projects to £12,000–£25,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit in SE13.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once materials are on site. A straightforward patio with simple edging can be completed in under a week, while pergola seating, built-in benches, lighting and fire pit areas typically add time for foundations, electrics and curing. Timescales also depend on access to the rear garden, waste removal routes and weather. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden seating areas such as patios, pergolas and low walls are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if structures are unusually tall or close to boundaries. Drainage is also important—permeable solutions may be needed to manage surface water. We’ll advise what applies and can help you check Lewisham requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating area installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by inadequate ground preparation, failed joints and edging instability. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like paving, pergola components and lighting fittings. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage routes aren’t blocked by later alterations. We also give practical aftercare guidance to keep surfaces, joints and timber looking their best.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer, traditional look, and clay or concrete pavers to suit period homes. We can build timber or composite pergolas, built-in benches with storage, and fire pit areas in stone or steel with heat-resistant detailing. Shade structures and lighting can be subtle or statement-led. We’ll bring samples, discuss how you use the garden, and design a layout that fits your SE13 space.
