Fine Landscaping designs and builds brick and stone features that make outdoor spaces more usable and better looking. Whether you want raised beds, a low garden wall, or a BBQ area for summer evenings, we create structures that feel part of the home. We regularly work near Downham Fields and around BR1, so we understand the practicalities of local access and parking. Every build is set out carefully for straight lines, neat joints, and long-term stability.
Downham’s established residential estate includes 1920s cottage estates, 1930s semis, and post-war housing, each with different garden proportions and levels. We match brick choices, coping stones, and pointing styles to suit the property and avoid a ‘bolted-on’ look. In places like Grove Park and Bellingham, we often improve sloping lawns with retaining walls and raised planters. The result is a garden that’s easier to maintain and far more practical year-round.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements, and a design that considers drainage, foundations, and how you’ll use the space. We protect paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and communicate daily so there are no surprises. You’ll receive a written scope of works and a staged plan for materials and build order. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium finishes, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
As a team working in the London Borough of Lewisham, we plan builds around typical estate access, shared driveways, and limited on-street parking. Ground levels can vary between plots, so we assess retaining needs and specify the right footing depth. We also consider run-off and drainage so new walls and paved areas don’t create puddling. If your property is near Bonus Pastor Catholic College or on a busier route, we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption.

Costs vary by size, access, and the type of feature. As a guide, small brick planters and raised beds often start from £450–£1,200, while garden walls typically range from £120–£220 per m² depending on brick choice and coping. Brick pillars, archways, and stone features can be £900–£3,500+. BBQ areas and fire pits usually fall between £1,200–£4,500 including heat-resistant components.
Many smaller projects, such as planters or a modest raised bed, can be completed in 1–2 days. A garden wall or retaining wall is commonly 2–5 days, depending on footing depth and site levels. More complex builds—archways, multiple pillars, or a full BBQ area—often take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, curing time for concrete, drainage requirements, and any bespoke stone cutting.
Most garden masonry—planters, raised beds, BBQ areas, and low boundary walls—can be done under permitted development. Planning may be needed for front boundary walls over certain heights, works near highways, or if your property has specific restrictions. In the London Borough of Lewisham we also consider drainage and any conditions tied to previous extensions. We’ll flag likely permissions during the survey and can help you confirm requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork and masonry workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by poor installation, defective pointing, and failures linked to incorrect foundations. Materials are supplied to appropriate standards, and manufacturer warranties apply where relevant. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give clear care guidance for sealing, cleaning, and winter protection where needed.
We can build in facing brick to match your home, reclaimed-style brick for character, or contrasting brickwork for modern lines. Popular finishes include natural stone copings, bullnose edges, and smooth or rustic pointing styles. For stone features we use durable options such as sandstone, granite setts, or limestone (where suitable). We’ll bring samples, advise on colour and texture, and design features—walls, pillars, archways, fire pits—to suit your space and budget.
