Sloping gardens across Bexley can feel awkward to use, especially when you want a lawn, patio and planting all in one space. We design and build terraced layouts that turn changes in level into a feature, using retaining walls, steps and multi-level borders. Whether you’re near Hall Place or spending weekends in Danson Park, we’ll create an outdoor space that suits how you live. Every terrace is planned for stability, drainage and year-round colour.
In the Bexley area we regularly work on 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer homes where rear gardens often drop away from the house. These plots can benefit from split-level patios, safer access routes and defined zones for dining, play and planting. We tailor materials and proportions to the style of your property, from brick and stone that complements period features to crisp contemporary finishes. If you’re in DA5, we’ll also factor in typical access and parking constraints for deliveries and machinery.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure levels, identify drainage routes and discuss how you want to use the space. You’ll receive a clear design proposal and a build plan covering retaining walls, steps & access, irrigation and lighting. We prioritise tidy working practices, reliable scheduling and robust construction details, so terraces stay true and safe over time. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, quality materials and a finish that looks intentional from day one.
We plan terrace gardens in London Borough of Bexley with careful attention to levels, run-off and boundary constraints. Many streets around Bexleyheath and Crayford have limited access, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where gardens sit close to neighbouring fences, we design retaining walls and drainage solutions to protect both sides. We also match brickwork and paving tones to local property styles for a cohesive look.

Costs vary with the number of levels, wall height, access and finishes. As a guide, a small two-tier scheme with steps and basic planting often starts around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-size gardens with substantial retaining walls, paving and lighting are commonly £12,000–£30,000. Larger builds with multiple terraces, drainage upgrades, irrigation and water features can reach £30,000–£60,000+. We provide itemised options to suit your budget.
Most terrace garden projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward two-level layout with one retaining wall and steps may be completed in 2–3 weeks. Multiple levels, deeper foundations, drainage runs, lighting and water features can extend the programme to 5–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for bespoke materials or planting.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, but terracing can trigger rules when it significantly alters ground levels, affects drainage, or changes boundary structures. If you’re near a listed building or in an area with specific constraints, additional checks may apply. We review your plans against current guidance, advise on likely requirements, and can help prepare information for the council if needed. We also consider party wall matters where relevant.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on structural elements such as retaining walls, steps and hard landscaping installation, provided the garden is used and maintained as advised. The warranty covers defects arising from installation, including movement caused by inadequate foundations or poor build practice. Materials may carry separate manufacturer guarantees (for example, lighting or pumps). We explain what’s covered in writing before work starts.
Terrace designs can be traditional or contemporary. Popular options include brick or rendered retaining walls, natural stone or porcelain paving, timber or composite seating areas, and integrated planters for multi-level planting. We can add water features, low-glare lighting, and irrigation to keep borders thriving. During design, we’ll show samples and propose combinations that suit your home’s style, your maintenance preferences, and how you want to use each level.
