If your SE13 garden feels cramped or underused, we turn it into a practical outdoor room. From near Hither Green station to streets by Mountsfield Park, we design layouts that improve flow, seating and planting without losing valuable space. Expect thoughtful space planning, vertical planting and container schemes that look full but stay manageable. We also use mirrors and lighting to extend the sense of depth after dark.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces often have narrow plots, while Edwardian houses and 1930s semis may have longer gardens with awkward corners. We’re used to side returns, shared boundaries and access through the house, so we design with buildability in mind. Our small garden design & build Hither Green area service focuses on multi-function zones—dining, play, storage and planting—without clutter. The result suits busy family life and complements period features.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear concept plan, then refine materials, planting and lighting to match your budget. Our build team handles groundwork, drainage, paving, carpentry and planting with a single point of contact throughout. You’ll get a written scope, realistic programme and respectful working practices for neighbours. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, clean finishes and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We tailor designs to typical Lewisham plots, where access can be tight and parking may need careful planning for deliveries and skips. Ground conditions vary, so we allow for proper sub-bases and drainage to prevent puddling on patios. For homes near Manor Park and Hither Green Cemetery, we also consider shade patterns and wind exposure when specifying plants and screening. Our small garden design & build in London Borough of Lewisham approach keeps everything compliant, durable and neighbour-friendly.

Costs vary with size, access and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, a light refresh with container planting, lighting and minor paving can start around £3,000–£7,000. A full small garden redesign with new patio, raised beds, built-in storage and planting is often £10,000–£25,000+. Premium joinery, porcelain paving or complex drainage can increase budgets, especially with difficult access.
Most small garden builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. Simple upgrades can be completed in a few days, while full transformations with paving, drainage, carpentry and lighting typically take longer. Timescales depend on access through the property, curing time for concrete, and lead times for bespoke joinery or specialist paving. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Most rear garden improvements—patios, planting, lighting and typical boundary treatments—are usually permitted development. However, rules can apply to taller fences, structures close to boundaries, listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. Drainage changes and electrics should also be installed correctly and safely. We’ll flag any likely permissions early, check Lewisham guidance where relevant, and recommend the right approach before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our build elements, covering issues caused by installation rather than normal wear and tear. This includes items such as paving installation, sub-bases, timber construction and built-in features when maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting, porcelain, membranes and composite materials. We also give aftercare guidance to help planting establish well.
Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone paving for clean lines, slim raised planters for structure, and built-in benches with hidden storage. For planting, we often combine evergreen framework, climbers for vertical interest, and containers to control maintenance. Mirrors can visually widen tight spaces, while warm LED lighting adds depth and usability. We’ll help you compare finishes, slip resistance, upkeep and budget so the design suits your home and lifestyle.
