BESPOKE CARPENTRY
Bespoke Garden Carpentry in South East London
Custom pergolas, planters, benches, screens, trellis and storage built to suit your outdoor space. Handcrafted by experienced carpenters across Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham, Brockley and Nunhead.
Built to fit. Built to last.
Off-the-shelf garden furniture and structures rarely fit properly. They look generic, they do not last and they waste space. Bespoke garden carpentry solves all of these problems — every piece is designed for your specific garden, built with quality materials and finished to a standard that matches the rest of your outdoor space.
We build pergolas that frame views, planters that define borders, seating that doubles as storage and screens that provide privacy without blocking light. Every piece is integrated into the overall garden design — not added as an afterthought.
Our carpentry team works across Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham, Brockley, Nunhead and wider South East London. Whether you need a single statement piece or a full suite of bespoke garden elements, we deliver the same premium standard on every commission.
What we build
Every piece is designed for your specific garden, built with quality materials and finished to a standard that matches the rest of your outdoor space. We work closely with you on dimensions, materials and style before any cutting begins.
Pergolas & Overhead Structures
Custom-built pergolas, arbours and shade structures in hardwood or painted timber. Designed to define zones and create sheltered outdoor rooms. We build in iroko, western red cedar and treated softwood — each chosen for durability and appearance.
Raised Planters & Beds
Bespoke raised planters in timber, steel or rendered block. Built to the exact dimensions your garden needs, with proper drainage and lining. Ideal for defining borders, adding height and creating structured planting displays.
Benches, Seating & Storage
Built-in seating with hidden storage, floating benches and custom garden furniture. Designed to fit your space perfectly and last for years. Every piece is weather-treated and finished to a premium standard.
Screens, Trellis & Fencing
Slatted privacy screens, decorative trellis panels and contemporary fencing. Cedar, iroko and composite options to match your garden's style. We design screens that provide privacy without blocking light — a key consideration in compact London gardens.
Materials we work with
We select timber and materials based on performance, appearance and suitability for your specific project. Here are the materials we use most frequently.
Iroko
Pergolas, benches, seating caps
Naturally durable tropical hardwood. Rich golden-brown colour that ages to silver-grey. Excellent weather resistance without treatment.
Western Red Cedar
Screens, cladding, planters
Aromatic, lightweight and naturally rot-resistant. Beautiful warm tone. Ideal for slatted screens and privacy panels.
Treated Softwood
Structural frames, painted finishes
Cost-effective for structural elements and painted finishes. Pressure-treated for longevity. Perfect for pergola frames and painted planters.
