If your garden drops away or feels difficult to use, terracing can change everything. We design and build terrace gardens sidcup area homeowners rely on for safer access, better drainage and more usable levels. Whether you’re close to Sidcup High Street or backing towards Foots Cray Meadows, we plan each level to suit how you live outdoors. Expect crisp edges, balanced planting and practical routes through the garden.
Sidcup’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and modern developments often comes with narrow side access, changing ground levels and compact plots. We create multi-level planting that softens structure without swallowing space, and we position seating areas to catch the best light. For families drawn by the area’s schools and green spaces, we also design with durability in mind—hardwearing steps, safe handrails where needed, and easy-care borders. Every layout is tailored to your property’s proportions and outlook.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels survey and a clear design proposal, so you can see exactly how the terraces will work. We handle retaining walls, drainage solutions, steps & access, plus finishing touches like lighting and water features. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy site management and clear communication throughout. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Across the London Borough of Bexley, we often see clay-heavy soils and gardens that hold water after heavy rain, so drainage and falls are designed in from day one. In DA14 and DA15, access can be tight on 1930s semis, so we plan material deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider boundary heights, neighbouring sightlines and any tree roots before setting wall positions. The result is terrace gardens in London Borough of Bexley that look refined and function properly.

Costs vary with the number of levels, wall height, access and finishes. As a guide, a small two-tier scheme with basic retaining and steps often starts around £8,000–£15,000. More complex gardens with engineered walls, lighting, irrigation, seating areas and premium paving commonly fall between £20,000–£45,000+. We’ll survey levels and drainage first, then provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on excavation, wall construction and the number of terraces. A straightforward two-level build with minimal services can be completed in around 10–15 working days. Larger schemes with drainage runs, lighting, water features and extensive planting can take longer, especially if curing times are needed for concrete bases. Weather, access and material lead times also affect the schedule.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, but terracing can trigger rules when it significantly alters ground levels, affects drainage, or involves higher retaining walls near boundaries. If you’re in a conservation area or close to protected trees, extra checks may apply. We review your site, advise on likely requirements, and can help you prepare information for the London Borough of Bexley if an application or approval is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations, covering our workmanship on key structural elements such as retaining walls, steps, paving bases and built features. It’s designed to give peace of mind that the garden will perform as intended, not just look good on completion. Warranty terms depend on the specification and correct use, and we’ll explain what’s included before work starts. Manufacturer warranties apply to selected products where relevant.
We design terraces using options such as brick or rendered retaining walls, natural stone or porcelain paving, timber or composite seating, and planted borders for multi-level softening. Steps can be stone, concrete or brick with matching copings, and we can add discreet lighting, irrigation and water features like rills or bowls. We’ll guide you through samples and layout choices, balancing style, maintenance and budget for your Sidcup property.
