Sidcup's mix of period homes and modern developments creates unique landscaping challenges. Whether you're restoring a crumbling boundary wall near Foots Cray Meadows or creating feature stonework for a contemporary garden, local knowledge matters. The clay-heavy soil common to DA14 and DA15 postcodes requires specific foundation techniques that prevent seasonal movement.
Natural stone installation demands precision engineering beneath its rustic appearance. Proper drainage channels prevent water pooling behind walls - crucial given Sidcup's position between the Cray and Shuttle river valleys. Each stone gets individually selected and positioned, creating interlocking strength without relying solely on mortar. This traditional building method ensures decades of stability through frost cycles and ground movement.
Twenty years working across Sidcup means understanding which stone types weather best in our microclimate. From Kentish ragstone matching original Victorian walls to contemporary limestone suited to minimalist gardens, material selection shapes longevity.
