Camberwell gardens often need smart zoning to balance dining, play and planting in one space. We create tailored layouts for SE5 homes, whether you’re near Camberwell Green or walking distance from Denmark Hill station. Expect crisp paving lines, well-chosen greenery and details that suit a vibrant, creative neighbourhood. The result is a back garden that feels finished and easy to use year-round.
Local properties range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with compact outdoor areas. We regularly work with narrow plots, level changes and overlooked boundaries, designing solutions that add privacy without blocking light. Planting schemes can be structured and architectural to complement period brickwork, or softer and wildlife-friendly for family gardens. Every design is scaled to the space, not a template.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a design that matches how you want to live outside. You’ll receive a detailed scope, programme and material options, then a tidy, well-managed build with regular updates. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, and we only use proven installation methods for patios, decking, drainage and lighting. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, clean finishes and gardens that last.
Back garden landscaping in London Borough of Southwark often involves tight access routes, shared alleys and controlled parking. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption, and we protect hallways and side returns where needed. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and sub-bases carefully before laying patios or installing lawns. Designs also account for neighbouring sightlines common around Denmark Hill, Peckham and Brixton.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide in Camberwell, a small refresh (new turf, planting and minor edging) often starts around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size projects with a patio or decking and new fencing commonly fall between £8,000–£20,000. Full redesigns with structures, lighting and water features can be £25,000–£60,000+ depending on complexity and materials.
Most Camberwell back garden projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on scope. A simple patio with turf and planting may be completed in 5–10 working days, while a full rebuild with fencing, lighting, drainage and structures can take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, groundworks, curing time for concrete, bespoke joinery, and weather. We provide a clear programme before work starts.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, lawns, planting and like-for-like fencing. However, rules can apply to boundary fence heights, raised decking, outbuildings, listed buildings and conservation areas, which are relevant to parts of Southwark. Drainage requirements may also affect hard landscaping. We flag likely permissions early, advise on compliant designs, and can help you gather the information needed before installation.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on our back garden landscaping installations. This covers issues arising from installation, such as patio movement due to inadequate sub-base, unstable edging, or fixings and joinery faults on properly maintained decking and structures. Materials typically carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we pass on. We also explain aftercare for lawns, planting and drainage so the garden performs as designed.
We offer a wide range of finishes to suit Camberwell’s period homes and modern builds. Popular choices include porcelain paving, sandstone, clay pavers, composite or timber decking, and contemporary slatted fencing. Planting can be evergreen structure with seasonal colour, or low-maintenance with drought-tolerant species. We design lighting for safe routes and evening ambience, and can add water features from simple rills to compact fountains. We’ll guide you through samples and layouts.
