A well-designed seating zone turns a garden into a place you’ll actually use—morning coffee, family dinners, or a quiet read after work. We create outdoor seating areas that feel integrated with your planting and pathways, not added as an afterthought. Around Lee Green crossroads and Manor House Gardens, many gardens benefit from clearer zoning and better flow. We can include built-in benches, dining spaces, sun lounging areas and subtle lighting for evenings.
Lee Green’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often comes with practical garden shapes—long plots, side returns, or raised levels. We design to suit those proportions, keeping access routes clear and making the most of every metre. If you’re near Lee station or closer to Hither Green, we’ll factor in privacy, overlooking and prevailing wind. The result is an outdoor seating setup that looks right for the property and works day-to-day.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage, and discuss how you want to use the space. You’ll receive a clear design proposal with material options, lighting placement and a build schedule. Our team handles groundworks, paving, carpentry and electrics coordination, keeping disruption low and the finish consistent. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, straightforward communication and a long-term result that stays solid through UK weather.
Working across the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to clay-heavy soils and the drainage challenges they can bring, especially after heavy rain. Many SE12 gardens have limited side access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and materials to minimise disruption. Parking and loading near Leegate Shopping Centre and busier roads can be tight, so we schedule efficiently and keep the site organised. We also match materials and detailing to period brickwork and typical boundary styles.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a small patio seating area with basic paving typically starts from £2,500–£5,000. Mid-sized outdoor seating areas in Lee Green with built-in benches and lighting are often £6,000–£12,000. Larger designs with pergola seating, premium stone and a fire pit area can be £12,000–£25,000+. We’ll confirm costs after a site survey and design.
Most projects take 3–10 working days depending on groundworks and complexity. A straightforward patio area may be completed in under a week, while designs with built-in benches, pergolas, lighting and multiple levels can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, excavation depth, drainage upgrades, curing time for concrete bases, and weather. We provide a clear schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden seating areas, patios and pergolas fall under permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if structures are unusually tall, or if you’re altering levels significantly near boundaries. Drainage requirements can also apply to new hard surfaces. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check Lewisham guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating builds, covering issues such as movement due to poor base preparation, pointing or jointing failures, and installation defects. Materials typically carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we’ll pass on and explain. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and it doesn’t cover accidental damage or unauthorised alterations. You’ll receive aftercare advice to keep everything performing well.
We design around how you want to use the space: dining spaces, sun lounging areas, or a cosy corner with a fire pit. Popular finishes include porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, and composite or hardwood seating details. Shade structures can be timber pergolas, slatted screens or sail shades, with integrated lighting where suitable. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your home and keep surfaces practical for year-round use.
