Gardens across Bromley deserve more than just concrete and gravel. Whether you're dealing with heavy clay soil near Sundridge Park or battling shade from mature oaks in Bickley, the right planting transforms any space.

Victorian terraces in BR1 often hide surprising depths at the rear, perfect for layered planting schemes. Meanwhile, those spacious plots around Shortlands Common cry out for sweeping lawn curves and naturalistic borders. Local knowledge matters when selecting plants that thrive in our particular mix of London clay and occasional chalk pockets.
Plant selection begins with understanding your soil's personality – something that varies dramatically between Bromley North's lower ground and the elevated gardens near Keston. Root barriers protect foundations whilst allowing established trees to coexist with new shrubs. Proper drainage installation prevents those frustrating waterlogged patches that plague so many local gardens after heavy rain.
Twenty-three years working these postcodes means recognising which suppliers stock the healthiest specimens suited to our microclimate. Every project receives the same meticulous soil preparation that transformed the grounds at Sundridge Park Mansion.

Basic turfing starts around £15-20 per square metre, whilst complete garden redesigns with mature specimen planting typically range £80-150 per square metre. Most BR2 family gardens fall between £3,500-£8,000 total.
Absolutely – from compact courtyards in central BR1 to expansive grounds in BR3's Keston area. Regular work includes properties near Bickley station, throughout residential Shortlands, and the leafy streets around Sundridge.
March through May offers optimal conditions, though autumn planting (September-November) often establishes better in Bromley's clay soil. Small gardens transform within 2-3 days; larger schemes might span two weeks.
All plants come with a decade-long replacement guarantee, covering failures despite proper care. This includes protection against typical Bromley challenges like late frosts and summer drought stress.
Preservation of established trees forms the backbone of most designs. Special techniques protect root systems during soil improvement, ensuring your garden's character remains whilst enhancing the understorey planting.
