Landscaper in Forest Hill (SE23)

Your local landscaping team for the streets between Horniman Museum, Dartmouth Road and Honor Oak Park.

Forest Hill has grown up. Big Edwardian family homes, streets lined with London plane trees, a decent high street, the Horniman Museum on the hill, and a train line into London Bridge that makes it the obvious move for young families leaving Zone 2. A lot of our Forest Hill clients are 2-5 years into a full house project and now want the bit that ties it all together — proper landscaping, often with a garden room and a built-in BBQ.

The other Forest Hill speciality is sloped gardens. The terrain through this part of South London means a lot of gardens drop several feet from the house to the back fence. Done well, that’s an opportunity — terracing, level changes, a garden room that nestles into the slope. Done badly, it’s a frustrating series of muddy steps.

Why Forest Hill clients book us:

We know the Edwardian stock — generous gardens, three and sometimes four storeys of house above, often a north-light at the back. Comfortable quoting bigger jobs — full garden makeovers with garden rooms and BBQs are common here. Real expertise on sloped sites — terracing, retaining walls, drainage, foundations on a slope. Work alongside other trades if you’re mid-project.

Services in Forest Hill:
