Patios, Decking & Landscaping in Crayford
In Crayford and across Bexley we are most often asked for patios, fencing and garden walls. Most of Bexley was developed between the wars, so Welling, Bexleyheath, Blackfen, Barnehurst and Sidcup are full of semi-detached houses, short terraces and bungalows. Older Victorian housing is found in Erith, Belvedere and Crayford, and there are some larger detached homes around Old Bexley and Sidcup.
Patios & Gardens in Crayford
A garden you will actually use.
London gardens are small, overlooked and often badly drained. Good hard landscaping fixes all three. We build patios, decks, walls and garden rooms that make a narrow plot feel like another room of the house.

Planning and the council
Planning constraints are lighter than in inner London, though Old Bexley and a few other pockets are conservation areas. Any new or widened driveway needs an approved vehicle crossover, and front garden paving should drain within the property.

FAQ
Patios & Gardens in Crayford
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out patios, decking & landscaping in Crayford?
Yes. Crayford is in Bexley, where we work every week alongside Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Welling and Erith.
Porcelain or natural stone?
Porcelain is consistent, stain-resistant and very low maintenance. Natural stone has more character and weathers over time. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see both against your brickwork.
Will a new patio cause damp?
Not if it is built correctly. We keep the finished level at least 150mm below the damp-proof course, or add a drainage channel against the wall where that is not possible.
Does a garden room need planning permission?
Most garden rooms are permitted development if they are single-storey, under 2.5m high near a boundary, and not used as a separate dwelling. Flats and some conservation areas are exceptions. We check before you commit.
