Brockley gardens can be deceptively tricky: shade from mature trees, tight boundaries, and sloping plots near Hilly Fields. Our soft landscaping focuses on the living layers—lawn installation, border planting, hedging and trees—so your outdoor space looks balanced and thrives. We also supply topsoil, mulching and irrigation where needed for reliable establishment. If you’re in SE4, Honor Oak or near Brockley Market, we can tailor planting to your light and soil conditions.
We work across Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions where gardens are often long, narrow and overlooked. That means planting needs to do more than look pretty—it should add screening, soften hard edges and cope with partial shade. We select shrubs and hedging that suit smaller footprints while still giving structure through winter. For larger plots around Crofton Park and Ladywell, we can introduce specimen trees and layered borders without crowding paths or patios.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess levels, drainage, sunlight and access, then we propose a planting plan and specification that matches your budget. We prepare the ground properly—removing poor soil, adding quality topsoil, and mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. Where lawns or new planting need support, we can install irrigation for consistent watering. Homeowners trust us for tidy workmanship, clear timelines and a premium finish that settles in well.
Brockley plots often have heavy, compacted ground and areas of shade from established trees, so we choose plants and topsoil blends accordingly. Access can be tight behind period terraces, and parking restrictions vary street by street, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider proximity to mature trees and boundary lines when positioning new planting. Our approach suits the character of SE4 gardens while keeping maintenance realistic.

Costs vary with garden size, access and the amount of ground preparation required. As a guide, lawn installation typically starts from £25–£45 per m² depending on turf type and soil works. Border planting often ranges from £60–£150 per m² including plants, compost and mulch. Small tree planting commonly falls between £250–£900 per tree, depending on specimen size and staking requirements. We’ll itemise everything clearly.
Most soft landscaping projects in Brockley take 1–5 days. A straightforward lawn installation can be completed in 1–2 days, while full border planting with soil improvement, mulching and hedging may take 3–5 days. Larger gardens or projects including multiple trees and irrigation can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, how much excavation is needed, and plant availability for your chosen scheme.
Soft landscaping such as lawns, borders, shrubs, hedging and most tree planting is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). We’ll ask the right questions, check local constraints where relevant, and advise on any permissions before work starts so you can proceed confidently.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed elements, covering issues caused by installation errors such as poor ground preparation or incorrect fixing and staking. Plants are living materials, so plant performance depends on weather and aftercare; we’ll specify suitable varieties and give clear watering guidance, especially for the first growing season. If anything concerns you after installation, we’ll inspect and recommend the best remedy.
