If your garden needs a lift after building work, a tired lawn, or patchy borders, we can transform it with planting-led improvements. We regularly work around Hither Green station and near Mountsfield Park, creating gardens that look good year-round. Our soft landscaping covers lawn installation, border planting, hedging, and mulching. Everything is planned to suit your light levels, soil, and how your household uses the space.
Hither Green is a popular family area with excellent schools and plenty of Victorian housing, so gardens often need smart, space-efficient planting. We design for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, and 1930s semis, making the most of narrow side returns, long plots, and shaded corners. Whether you want a tougher lawn for children or a calmer, low-allergen planting scheme, we tailor the palette. For clients across Lee, Catford and Lewisham, we keep layouts practical and easy to maintain.
We start with a site visit to assess drainage, levels, existing plants, and access for materials. Next, we prepare the ground properly—topsoil where needed, edging, mulching, and irrigation options to protect your investment. Our team works cleanly and to an agreed schedule, with clear handover notes for aftercare. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable communication, and a finish that settles in quickly.
We’re used to the access and parking challenges around SE13 streets and plan deliveries accordingly.

We also consider nearby trees and boundary lines, especially close to Hither Green Cemetery and Manor Park. Where needed, we help you stay aligned with London Borough of Lewisham expectations for waste removal and tree work.

Most soft landscaping projects in SE13 take 1–3 days for straightforward lawn installation and border planting, and 3–7 days for larger gardens with hedging, multiple trees and irrigation. Timescales depend on ground conditions, whether old turf or rubble needs removing, and how much topsoil is required. Weather can also affect turfing and planting. We agree a schedule upfront and keep you updated if conditions change.
Most soft landscaping—lawns, borders, shrubs, mulching and typical garden irrigation—doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply to protected trees, conservation areas, or work near boundaries, and there may be rules around removing or heavily pruning certain trees. If you’re unsure, we’ll flag potential issues during the survey and can advise on checks with the London Borough of Lewisham before work starts.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installed elements where applicable, covering issues caused by installation faults rather than misuse or extreme weather. For soft landscaping, this typically relates to ground preparation, edging, and irrigation installation. Plants are living materials, so their success also depends on watering and aftercare; we provide clear guidance and can arrange maintenance visits to help everything establish well.
We can create anything from structured evergreen borders to softer, pollinator-friendly planting. Popular options include hard-wearing turf or premium seeded lawns, mixed shrub borders, pleached or multi-stem trees for privacy, and formal or informal hedging. Mulch choices include composted bark and soil improvers to suit your planting. We’ll recommend species and spacing based on light, soil, pets/children, and the style of your home.
