Fine Landscaping designs and builds supportive outdoor spaces for residents, visitors and staff across SE4. Whether you’re close to Brockley Market or a short walk from Hilly Fields, we plan gardens that encourage gentle movement and relaxed social time. Expect smooth, accessible pathways, safe boundaries and seating areas placed for conversation and supervision. We can also incorporate memory gardens and sensory planting to spark familiarity and calm.
Brockley’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with long, narrow gardens, level changes and older paving that can be uneven. In the care home gardens Brockley area, we regularly adapt layouts to improve access without losing character. Raised beds make gardening possible from a seated position, while handrails and clear routes reduce trip risks. We also consider light and shade so outdoor spaces remain usable across the seasons.
Our process starts with a site visit, listening to how the garden is used and who needs to move through it. We then produce a practical design that prioritises safety, visibility and low-maintenance planting, followed by a tidy, well-managed build. You’ll get clear scheduling, considerate working practices and a final walkthrough to confirm everything is secure and comfortable. Many clients choose us for care home gardens in London Borough of Lewisham because we combine premium finishes with thoughtful, resident-first details.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, many Brockley plots have tight side access and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Period properties can hide uneven sub-bases, old drains and tree roots, which we assess before laying new paths. We also design for practical maintenance, choosing robust materials that cope with year-round use. If nearby works or council requirements affect access, we coordinate timings to keep disruption low.

Costs vary with access, levels and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, small upgrades (handrails, safer paths, seating) often start around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-sized redesign with raised beds, accessible paving and sensory planting is commonly £8,000–£20,000. Larger projects including shade structures, secure boundaries and full regrading can be £25,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of paving, groundwork and joinery. A simple path-and-seating improvement can be completed in a few days, while a full redesign with raised beds, handrails, lighting and shade structures may take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in SE4, drainage works, curing time for concrete, and plant availability. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as new paths, raised beds, planting and typical fencing within allowed heights. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation considerations, tall boundary treatments, significant level changes, or larger shade structures. We’ll flag any likely permissions early and can advise on Lewisham Council requirements where relevant. If approval is needed, we help you prepare the information to apply confidently.
