Many gardens around Shortlands and Bromley Common sit on a gradient, which can limit how you use the space. Our terrace garden builds turn awkward slopes into level zones for dining, play and planting. We regularly work near Bromley South station and across BR1 and BR2, designing layouts that suit the property and the way you live. Expect crisp levels, clean lines and planting that thrives.
Bromley’s mix of large detached houses, Victorian villas and modern developments calls for tailored design rather than one-size-fits-all. Period homes often benefit from traditional brick retaining walls and stone steps, while newer builds can suit porcelain paving, sleek lighting and minimalist planting. For the terrace gardens Bromley area homeowners request, we balance structure with softness so the garden looks established, not over-engineered. Access, storage and family use are planned in from day one.
We start with a site visit, levels survey and drainage assessment, then produce a clear design and specification before any groundworks begin. Our team handles excavation, retaining walls, steps & access, irrigation and lighting in a coordinated build programme. You’ll receive transparent staging, tidy working practices and a handover pack for planting and maintenance. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium finishes and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, we often see clay soils and gardens that fall away from the house, so drainage and retaining wall detailing are critical. We plan spoil removal, deliveries and parking with Bromley’s residential streets in mind, especially around Shortlands and Bickley. Where access is tight, we phase materials and use compact equipment to minimise disruption. We also consider neighbouring boundaries, mature trees and sightlines typical of larger plots.

Costs vary with levels, access and the amount of structural work. As a guide, smaller terrace garden projects with one retaining wall and new steps often start around £12,000–£20,000. Mid-size builds with multiple levels, paving, lighting and planting are commonly £25,000–£45,000. Larger schemes with engineered walls, irrigation and water features can be £50,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most terrace garden projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A single level change with straightforward retaining and paving may be completed in 10–15 working days. Multi-level gardens with drainage runs, lighting, irrigation and bespoke seating can take 4–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, curing times for concrete, and lead times for stone, porcelain or custom metalwork.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, but terrace gardens can trigger checks where retaining walls are tall, levels change significantly, or you’re close to boundaries. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We review your design against current guidance and advise if a planning application or building control input is sensible. Where needed, we can supply drawings and specifications to support submissions.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for structural landscaping elements such as retaining walls, steps, paving installation and built seating, provided they’re used and maintained appropriately. Products and materials (lighting, pumps, irrigation components) carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we pass on. If an issue arises, we respond quickly to inspect and rectify defects covered by the warranty. Clear handover guidance helps protect your investment.
We design terraces using brick or stone retaining walls, rendered blockwork, sleeper-style solutions, and contemporary gabions where suitable. Steps can be natural stone, porcelain, concrete or brick, with optional handrails. For planting, we often combine evergreen structure with multi-level borders and small trees for screening. Popular additions include integrated benches, water rills, uplighting and smart irrigation. We help you choose finishes that suit the house style and budget.
