Fine Landscaping provides high-quality brickwork for gardens across Kennington, from Oval to Vauxhall. Whether you’re upgrading a boundary near Kennington Park or repairing tired joints close to The Oval cricket ground, we focus on neat finishes and structural integrity. Our team builds garden walls, retaining walls, brick pillars, steps and planters that look right from day one. We also create practical outdoor features such as BBQ areas and fire pits for year-round use.
Kennington’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often need brickwork that respects original character while improving usability. We match brick types, mortar colour and bond patterns so new work blends with existing façades and garden boundaries. In tighter plots around Elephant & Castle and Oval, we design compact solutions such as raised planters, narrow steps and discreet retaining walls. Where older brickwork has weathered, our repointing restores strength and sharpens the overall appearance.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear written scope, then confirm levels, drainage and foundations before laying a single brick. Work is carried out cleanly, with careful protection of paths, planting and neighbouring boundaries, and we keep you updated on progress. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, tidy workmanship and consistent quality control. Every build is backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As brickwork contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we plan for restricted access, resident parking rules and shared boundaries common in SE11. Kennington gardens can vary in levels, so we design retaining walls and steps with proper footings and drainage to prevent movement. We also consider the look of Georgian squares and Victorian terraces, selecting brick and mortar finishes that sit comfortably with surrounding properties. Where deliveries are tricky near Kennington tube station, we schedule materials to minimise disruption.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Kennington vary with access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, repointing is often £45–£90 per m², depending on joint depth and finish. Small garden walls may start around £900–£2,500, while retaining walls with drainage and deeper footings commonly run £2,500–£7,500+. Bespoke features like steps, pillars, planters or BBQ areas are usually priced after a site survey and design.
Timescales depend on size, curing time and site logistics. A small planter or short wall can take 1–2 days, while steps with proper sub-base and edging typically take 2–4 days. Larger boundary or retaining walls often take 4–10 working days, especially if excavation, drainage and waste removal are involved. Access around mansion blocks and parking restrictions near Oval or Vauxhall can also affect delivery and programme.
Many garden brickwork projects are usually permitted development, such as low garden walls, planters and steps, but there are important exceptions. Front boundary walls, walls next to highways, and works affecting listed buildings or conservation areas may require consent. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you understand Lambeth requirements before work begins. If approval is needed, we can provide drawings and specifications to support an application.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship and structural integrity when built to our specification. This includes failures caused by incorrect laying, inadequate mortar joints, or issues linked to our foundations and construction methods. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We also advise on aftercare, including cleaning and avoiding de-icing salts on new steps during the first winter.
We can build in a range of styles to suit Georgian and Victorian properties, including London stock bricks, reclaimed blends, and contemporary smooth-facing bricks. Options include soldier courses, coping stones, recessed or flush pointing, and brick-on-edge details for steps and planters. For outdoor living, we design BBQ areas and fire pits with heat-resistant components where required. We’ll bring samples, match existing brickwork, and recommend finishes that weather well in London conditions.
