Nunhead gardens often need smart structure to make the most of narrow plots and sloping ground. We create crisp garden walls, brick pillars, archways and stone features that feel at home near Nunhead Cemetery and Telegraph Hill Park. Whether you want a defined entertaining space or better planting zones, our masonry work brings order and warmth. Every build is tailored to how you use the garden year-round.
SE15 is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages, many with mature boundaries and original brickwork worth respecting. We match brick tones, mortar colour and detailing so new walls and planters sit naturally alongside existing features. For compact courtyards and long rear gardens, we design raised beds and retaining edges that improve drainage and usability. If you’re between Peckham and East Dulwich, we’re close enough for quick site visits and responsive scheduling.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification, then provide a tidy programme you can plan around. Foundations, drainage and falls are set out properly to avoid movement, staining and water pooling. Our team protects paving, lawns and neighbouring boundaries, and we keep you updated as each stage is signed off. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable workmanship, clean finishes and a 10-year warranty on qualifying builds.
Nunhead’s mix of tight side access and shared boundaries calls for careful material handling and considerate working hours. We plan deliveries and parking around residential streets near Nunhead Green and SE15 restrictions, keeping disruption low. Ground levels can vary, so we set accurate falls and incorporate drainage where needed. If your home is in a conservation-sensitive street, we’ll advise on sympathetic brick choices and boundary heights.

Costs vary with access, foundations and finishes. As a guide, small brick planters or raised beds often start from £600–£1,500. Garden walls are commonly £180–£300 per m², depending on brick type, piers and coping stones. Feature builds such as BBQ areas, archways or fire pits typically range from £1,500–£6,000+. We’ll survey your SE15 garden and provide an itemised estimate.
Most projects in Nunhead take 2–7 working days, depending on scope. A couple of raised beds may be completed in 1–2 days, while a new garden wall with piers, steps or retaining work can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through period terraces, curing time for foundations, weather, and any drainage or level corrections. We’ll confirm a programme before starting.
Many garden masonry projects are permitted development, especially within rear gardens, but there are limits on wall heights and extra rules near highways or for listed buildings. Parts of Southwark also have conservation considerations, where materials and appearance may matter. We’ll flag any likely permissions early, check boundary heights and sightlines, and can help you prepare information for the council if approval is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying brickwork and masonry landscaping, covering workmanship issues such as failing joints, unstable construction or movement caused by incorrect installation. It assumes normal use and that the surrounding ground hasn’t been altered by third parties. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also document the build approach—foundations, drainage and pointing—so you have clear records for peace of mind.
We can build in London stock brick, reclaimed brick to suit period homes, or contemporary smooth-facing bricks for a cleaner look. Copings can be brick-on-edge, stone, or pre-cast caps, and we offer matching brick pillars, archways and integrated seating. Stone features and hearth-style fire pits are popular in SE15 gardens, as are rendered planters. We’ll guide you on colours, pointing styles and proportions to suit your house.
