Services Overview — Garden Maintenance Catford
Garden Maintenance Catford provides a comprehensive range of professional gardening solutions tailored to homes and businesses across Catford and the London Borough of Lewisham. Our Catford garden maintenance services are designed to be reliable, compliant and environmentally responsible. We work with terraced houses, semi-detached gardens, communal courtyards and shop-front planted areas, applying industry-standard safety procedures and up-to-date insurance coverage. All works are carried out by trained operatives who understand local conservation and planning sensitivities — important in conservation areas and near protected trees. Quality, safety and legal compliance are at the heart of everything we do.
Below is a short guide to the key services we deliver across the area. Our focus is on long-term upkeep and improving property value while minimising environmental impact. We adhere to waste-handling regulations common to Catford properties — for example, arranging segregated green waste collection where local refuse services allow, and responsibly transporting larger green waste from commercial clearances to licensed disposal sites. These services are offered as standalone jobs or as part of scheduled Catford garden maintenance plans.
Decking Services
Our decking services in Catford include new deck design, installation, repair and refurbishment. From narrow back yards behind Victorian terraces to raised decking for modern townhouse gardens, we specify materials and finishes that are robust and compliant with building regulations where necessary. We carry public liability insurance and adhere to relevant British Standards for construction and fixings. Pressure-treated timber, hardwoods and low-maintenance composite options are used with a clear emphasis on sustainability and longevity. Where decking requires footings or close proximity to property boundaries, we advise on planning considerations and obtain any necessary consents before work begins.Garden Clearance
Garden clearance for residential and commercial clients in Catford covers overgrown back gardens, derelict plots, front-yard improvements and shopfront planting removals. Our clearance teams handle green waste segregation, hazardous material identification (for example, asbestos or contaminated soils) and safe disposal through licensed carriers. We understand the typical housing mix in Catford — terrace gardens with limited access, basement lightwells and communal courtyards — and plan clearances to minimise disruption to neighbours and tenants. All clearances are conducted under current environmental regulations, and we provide documentation to demonstrate lawful disposal where required.
Garden Maintenance (Routine)
Regular maintenance is the backbone of healthy gardens. Our recurring garden care packages include seasonal pruning, weed control, soil care, plant feeding and inspection of hard landscaping. For homeowners seeking reliable Catford garden maintenance, we offer flexible scheduling — weekly, fortnightly or monthly — and use eco-friendly practices such as targeted, low-toxicity treatments and organic compost where practical. Our teams are CRB/PVG-checked where appropriate for work in communal or sensitive sites, and all operatives carry insurance. We log visits and can provide a maintenance record for landlords or property managers.Hedge Trimming
Expert hedge trimming services protect privacy screens, maintain formal boundaries and improve the appearance of hedged streetscapes across Catford. We time works to respect the bird-nesting season and biodiversity regulations, offering formative pruning, shape maintenance and full hedge reductions when needed. Our operatives use appropriate access equipment for tall roadside hedges in commercial zones and apply waste management practices that prioritise chipping and green waste recycling. We operate under health and safety best practice, with insurance and risk assessments completed prior to every job.Landscaping
Professional landscaping services in Catford range from soft-landscape redesign—planting schemes that thrive in urban microclimates—to hard landscaping projects such as patios, pathways and low retaining walls. We design with local context in mind: soil conditions in Lewisham, household access constraints in terraced areas, and the needs of commercial frontages along high streets. Our landscaping teams follow biodiversity-friendly planting principles, choose low-maintenance native species where appropriate and install sustainable drainage solutions (SuDS) to help manage surface water in heavy rain. All construction work meets current regulations and our contractors are fully insured; where planning or building control consultation is needed we guide clients through the process.
Lawn Mowing
Lawn care and mowing services are offered as part of our Catford grounds maintenance and estate gardening packages. We provide precision mowing, edging, scarification, aeration and moss control to maintain healthy turf across small private lawns, communal green spaces and corporate landscaping. For denser urban properties or communal lawns adjacent to flats, we coordinate with property managers to ensure scheduled visits avoid peak resident times. Our practices aim to reduce chemical reliance through mechanical aeration and overseeding, and all green clippings are composted or disposed of to licensed processing facilities, meeting local environmental standards.
Compliance, Insurance and Environmental Standards
Across every service, Garden Maintenance Catford emphasises legal compliance, operator competency and environmental stewardship. We maintain comprehensive public liability insurance and carry out risk assessments and method statements on significant works. Our waste-handling follows the Waste Duty of Care and we use licensed waste carriers and transfer stations for major clearances or commercial removals. When working near protected trees, ecological features or conservation areas typical of parts of Catford and Lewisham, we take additional steps — consulting arboricultural reports and scheduling work to protect wildlife. Safety certifications, insurance documents and environmental policies are available on request to demonstrate due diligence.
Why choose local Catford garden maintenance? Choosing a local provider means better familiarity with neighbourhood constraints, local council requirements and seasonal patterns specific to Catford. Our teams are experienced with the typical access limitations of terrace-style gardens, the permissions required for some decking and landscaping projects, and the expectations of commercial clients along local high streets. We combine practical knowledge with professional standards: trained staff, insured operations, and a commitment to sustainable gardening that benefits both clients and the wider community.
