LP Home and Landscapes is based in the Bromley and Orpington area, which makes Orpington one of the areas we know best. We work throughout the town and its neighbourhoods, including Petts Wood, Farnborough, Green Street Green, Chelsfield, St Mary Cray and Crofton.
Orpington grew quickly in the 1920s and 1930s, so many streets are lined with interwar semis and detached houses with good-sized front and back gardens. Alongside them sit post-war estates, newer developments and older cottages in the village areas. That means plenty of space for driveways and patios, and plenty of original concrete drives, timber fascias and fences now reaching the end of their lives.
The most common requests we get in Orpington are full driveway replacements, new resin and block paving drives for two or more cars, back-garden patios, garden rooms for home working and replacement fencing. Because we're local, it's easy to pop round, measure up and talk you through the options.

Local issues
Common Property Problems
in Orpington
Ageing original driveways
Many 1930s homes still have cracked concrete or crazy-paving drives that are uneven, hold water and let weeds through.
Wider family parking
Families often need room for two or three cars, which means widening drives, adding edging and getting drainage right on a bigger surface.
Underused back gardens
Large Orpington gardens often lack a level, usable patio or a dry outbuilding, so the space goes to waste.
Rotten timber rooflines
Original timber fascias and soffits on interwar homes rot and flake, leaking water behind gutters and into walls.
Driveway weeds and staining
Older drives in the area often have weeds in every joint and oil stains that won't shift.
Garden fences at the end of their life
Fences put up years ago on timber posts are now leaning and rotting across many Orpington streets.
Planning guide
Planning Your Project
in Orpington
Many Orpington homes have room to widen an existing drive, but the extra width needs the same depth of base as the original area — otherwise the new section settles differently. Paul will check the ground, existing levels and where rainwater currently goes before recommending block paving, resin or tarmac.
If you're thinking about a garden room for home working, consider where the sun falls, how far it is from the house and whether you'll want power. Combining a garden room with a new patio or path at the same time saves disruption and lets the whole garden be planned in one go.
Timing helps too. Many Orpington homeowners book driveways and patios for spring and summer, so arranging a free site visit early gives you more choice of start dates. Roof and fencing repairs, on the other hand, often can't wait — and roof emergencies are covered 24 hours a day if the weather catches you out.
