If your garden needs a smarter layout, better drainage or a fresh look, we can help. We design and build complete back garden makeovers for SE12 homeowners, from the Lee Green crossroads through to homes near Manor House Gardens. Expect crisp patio lines, reliable turfing, and planting that suits your light levels. Every detail is planned to make the space easier to enjoy and maintain.
Lee Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often come with long, narrow plots and awkward levels. We regularly rework tired lawns, replace failing fencing, and create zones for dining, play and storage without losing greenery. Where access is tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully to keep disruption down. The result is a garden that fits the property and the way you live.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule the build in logical stages. You’ll get guidance on materials, drainage, lighting positions and planting plans, plus tidy workmanship throughout. Fine Landscaping is based around 30 minutes away, so we can stay responsive during the project. Our work is finished to a high standard and backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Back gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham can vary from heavy clay pockets to compacted sub-bases from old paving, so we assess drainage before laying patios or turf. Many SE12 streets have restricted parking and narrow side access, so we plan delivery slots, barrowing routes and waste collections. For 1930s homes, we often integrate new steps and retaining edges to handle gentle slopes. We also consider boundary lines and neighbourly working practices when replacing fencing.

Costs depend on size, access and the mix of features. As a guide, a simple refresh with turfing, planting and minor edging might be £2,500–£6,000. A mid-range upgrade with a new patio or decking area and fencing is often £7,000–£18,000. Full redesigns with lighting, structures and water features commonly fall between £20,000–£45,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for a straightforward patio, lawn and planting scheme, depending on weather and access. More involved builds with multiple levels, new fencing, decking, lighting and bespoke structures typically take 4–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by drainage works, curing time for concrete bases, and lead times for materials. We agree a programme before starting and keep you updated as each stage completes.
Many back garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, decking at low height, fencing within limits and most planting. Permission may be needed for taller boundary treatments, large outbuildings/structures, significant raised platforms, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage rules can also apply, especially for impermeable surfaces. We flag likely requirements early and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for core hard landscaping elements such as patios, bases, edging, retaining details and installed structures, subject to normal use and maintenance.
