Hayes has a distinctive mix of commons, mature trees and generous gardens, especially around Hayes Common and the BR2 streets nearby. If your plot drops away, a well-planned terrace garden turns awkward gradients into practical, beautiful levels. We combine retaining walls, multi-level planting and safe access to create spaces that feel natural to the setting. The result is more usable garden, with less erosion and fewer muddy patches after rain.
Local gardens here often belong to large detached houses, period cottages and well-loved 1930s properties, many with long rear gardens and changes in level. We regularly design terrace gardens Hayes (Bromley) area homeowners want for entertaining, family use and low-maintenance structure. Whether you need discreet steps to a lawn, a raised dining terrace, or planting tiers that soften boundaries, we tailor the layout to your home’s proportions. Materials and planting are chosen to complement brickwork, flint details and established greenery typical of the neighbourhood.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, assess soil and identify water flow, then produce a clear design and staged build plan. Construction covers groundwork, drainage solutions, retaining walls, steps & access, plus lighting and irrigation where needed. You’ll get transparent costs, tidy working practices and a finish that looks sharp from day one and settles beautifully over time. Homeowners choose us for terrace gardens in London Borough of Bromley because we manage details properly and stand behind our workmanship.
Across Hayes (Bromley) and nearby West Wickham, we often find sloping gardens with clay-heavy soils that hold water in winter. We factor in run-off routes, discreet channel drains and soakaway options to protect lawns and paving. Access and parking can vary near Hayes station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. Where properties sit close to commons or mature trees, we adapt foundations and planting to respect roots and shade patterns.

Costs depend on the number of levels, retaining wall height, access, and finishes. As a guide, smaller terracing with one retaining wall and steps may start around £8,000–£15,000. Mid-size multi-level builds with drainage, paving and planting are often £18,000–£40,000. Larger projects with premium stone, lighting, irrigation and water features can be £45,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most terrace garden builds take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A single level with straightforward access can be completed in around 10–15 working days. Multi-level schemes with substantial retaining walls, drainage runs, lighting, and water features typically take 4–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, curing times for concrete, weather, and lead times for specialist materials. We agree a realistic programme before work starts.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, but terracing can trigger rules where ground levels are significantly altered, retaining walls are high, or works affect boundaries. If your property is listed or near sensitive areas, there may be extra considerations. We check likely requirements during the survey and can advise on when to speak with the London Borough of Bromley. Where approvals are needed, we help you prepare drawings and supporting details.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural landscaping elements such as retaining walls, steps, and installed hardscaping, when built to our specification. This covers defects linked to installation, not damage from misuse, third-party alterations, or extreme events outside normal conditions. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting, pumps, and irrigation components. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep planting and surfaces performing as intended.
We design terraces using options such as brick or rendered retaining walls, natural stone, porcelain paving, timber or composite seating, and planted sleepers where appropriate. Steps can be stone, brick, or slab with contrasting edgings for safety. Popular additions include integrated bench seating, subtle water features, low-glare lighting, and zoned irrigation. We guide you through samples and layout choices, balancing style, maintenance, drainage performance, and how the garden will be used day to day.
