From pre-dinner drinks after a show near Goldsmiths University to quiet Sunday mornings by Deptford Park, your garden can become a place you genuinely use. We design and build outdoor seating areas that feel like an extension of your home, with practical layouts for dining, lounging and hosting. Expect well-proportioned patio areas, comfortable built-in benches and lighting that makes evenings work. Our team regularly works around New Cross station and across SE14.
New Cross homes often come with compact rear gardens, side returns and shared boundaries—especially around Victorian terraces and converted flats. We plan seating zones that respect sightlines, privacy and access, while keeping maintenance sensible. For Georgian houses and larger plots nearer Telegraph Hill, we can create layered spaces: dining near the kitchen, sun lounging further down the garden, and a sheltered corner for year-round use. This is outdoor seating areas New Cross area homeowners can enjoy without losing valuable planting space.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and access, then produce a clear design and itemised specification. Once agreed, we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and keep the site tidy and secure. Every build is finished with careful detailing—edging, pointing, lighting placement and robust fixings for pergolas and shade structures. With transparent communication and a 10-year warranty, clients choose us for outdoor seating areas in London Borough of Lewisham that last.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham often have mixed ground conditions, with made-up soil and variable levels that affect foundations and drainage. Around New Cross and Deptford, access can be tight through terraced homes, so we plan modular materials and tidy, staged deliveries. We also factor in parking restrictions and neighbour considerations when positioning pergolas, lighting and fire pit areas. Our detailing suits period brickwork and the proportions of Victorian and Georgian properties.

Most projects take 3–10 working days once work starts. A straightforward patio area can be completed in under a week, while designs with built-in benches, lighting, pergolas or multiple levels usually take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access through the property, ground preparation, drainage changes and curing time for concrete bases. We confirm a realistic programme before booking your start date.
Many garden seating projects are permitted development, especially like-for-like patios and low structures. However, rules can apply if you’re raising ground levels significantly, adding tall pergolas near boundaries, installing extensive lighting, or working on a listed building or within a conservation area. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Lewisham Council guidance before you commit, so the design stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our outdoor seating builds, covering installation issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-bases, poor drainage detailing, or fixings that fail under normal use. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties, which vary by product. We’ll explain what’s included in writing and how to care for paving, timber and lighting so your seating area performs long term.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone or granite for a natural look, and brick detailing to match Victorian terraces. Built-in benches can be rendered, brick-faced or timber-topped, and pergolas can be timber or aluminium with optional shade screens. Fire pit areas can use stone surrounds or steel bowls with safe heat-resistant bases. We guide you through samples, layout options and lighting plans to suit your garden and budget.
