What pushes the price up in Petts Wood
Ground conditions. Petts Wood sits on clay with flint and gravel pockets. This affects excavation depth, drainage and how much spoil needs to be taken away, which is often the largest hidden cost.
Garden layout. Local gardens are typically generous 1930s Basil Scott-era rear gardens, typically 25–40 metres long. Restricted access through a side passage means more labour and smaller machinery.
Local rules. The Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character restricts front-garden hard-standing and boundary changes. Getting this right early saves costly rework.
Materials. Porcelain costs more than Indian sandstone to buy but needs less upkeep. Composite decking costs about 30–50% more than timber but lasts far longer.
How to keep costs under control
- Phase the work. Build the patio and structure first, then add planting later.
- Keep existing levels where possible, because moving soil is expensive.
