From boundary walls to bespoke planters, Fine Landscaping delivers brickwork that improves security, kerb appeal and usable outdoor space. We regularly work around SE14, including projects near New Cross station and Deptford Park. Whether you’re upgrading a tired garden wall or adding steps to a patio level change, we focus on clean lines, solid foundations and tidy sites. Every build is planned to suit your layout, access and budget.
New Cross homes often include Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, each with its own brick styles and detailing. We match brick type, mortar colour and joint profile so new work sits comfortably alongside existing masonry. For rear gardens in Deptford, Brockley and Peckham, we design walls and features that make the most of compact spaces. If you’re near Telegraph Hill, we can also advise on retaining solutions for sloped plots.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, and the condition of existing brickwork. You’ll receive clear recommendations, material options and a practical schedule, with careful protection of paths, planting and neighbouring boundaries. Our team builds to current standards, using proper footings, movement joints where needed and weather-appropriate curing. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying builds.
Access in New Cross can be tight, with narrow side returns and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many gardens sit on made ground or mixed London clay, which affects footing depth and drainage detailing. We also consider party walls, shared boundaries and sightlines common to terraces and converted flats. Where required, we align our approach with London Borough of Lewisham guidance for walls, front boundaries and street-facing changes.

Costs vary with wall height, access, brick choice and the amount of groundwork needed. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£900, while new garden or boundary walls commonly fall around £120–£220 per m². Retaining walls and steps can be £1,500–£6,000+ depending on engineering, drainage and finishes. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SE14.
Minor repairs or repointing can take 1–2 days, while a typical garden wall may take 2–5 days including footings and curing time. Larger boundary walls, pillars and piers, or retaining walls with drainage usually take 1–3 weeks depending on length, access and weather. Lead times can also be affected by matching bricks and any demolition or waste removal. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Many garden walls, planters and like-for-like repairs are permitted development, but rules can change for front boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, or walls next to highways. Height limits and visibility at junctions may also apply. If you’re altering a street-facing wall or adding gates and piers, we’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you check Lewisham guidance. We always build with safety and neighbour boundaries in mind.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying new brickwork builds, including garden walls, retaining walls, pillars and steps, covering workmanship-related defects such as structural movement caused by incorrect construction. Materials are supplied to suitable specifications, and we follow best practice for footings, jointing and drainage where relevant. Repairs and repointing are also guaranteed, with terms depending on the scope and existing condition. Warranty details are confirmed in writing with your quote.
We can build in London stock, engineering bricks, reclaimed-style bricks, or contemporary smooth finishes, with mortar colours and joint profiles to suit your home. Popular options include copings, bullnose steps, recessed planters, rendered piers, and integrated lighting or seating. For BBQ areas, we can incorporate heat-resistant liners and practical worktop heights. We’ll guide you on durability, maintenance and how each choice complements Victorian and Georgian façades common around New Cross.
