Victorian and Edwardian properties throughout BR2 often feature challenging rear gardens – narrow strips, odd angles, and forgotten spaces crying out for imagination. Years of experience with these quirky plots has taught us exactly which design tricks open up possibilities. Whether you're squeezed between neighbouring fences or blessed with a slightly wider plot near Hayes Common, the right approach makes all the difference.
Strategic placement of raised beds creates depth whilst maximising planting space. Diagonal decking tricks the eye, making narrow gardens appear wider. Vertical elements draw attention upward – essential when horizontal space comes at a premium. Materials matter too: light-coloured paving reflects more light into shaded corners common in terraced properties.
Living in Keston means understanding how mature trees from neighbouring gardens cast shadows across your space. Local knowledge shapes every design decision, from drainage solutions for clay-heavy soil to plant choices that thrive despite those towering oaks.

Most BR2 garden transformations range between £8,000-£15,000, depending on complexity. Simple designs with quality materials start around £6,000, whilst elaborate schemes incorporating lighting and water features can reach £20,000.
Absolutely – from properties backing onto Keston Common to homes near the Farnborough border, we work across all of BR2. Regular projects in Hayes and central Bromley too.
Typical small garden builds take 2-3 weeks from breaking ground. Design phase adds another fortnight beforehand, allowing time to perfect your vision.
Everything we build carries decade-long protection. Structures, paving, and installations remain covered for ten years, giving complete peace of mind about your investment.
L-shaped plots actually offer fantastic design opportunities. The natural division creates distinct zones – perhaps a dining area near the house transitioning to a planted sanctuary around the corner. These layouts often feel larger than straight gardens of similar square footage.
