Outdoor space can be a daily highlight for residents when it’s designed to be easy and reassuring to use. Our care home garden work in Richmond focuses on smooth accessible pathways, clear wayfinding and restful planting. We regularly design schemes that feel familiar and soothing, inspired by local green spaces such as Richmond Park. Whether you’re near TW9 or TW10, we tailor the layout to how residents and staff actually use the garden.
Richmond’s property mix includes Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and high-value riverside properties, and many care settings are formed from converted period buildings. That often means level changes, narrow side access and mature trees that shape the light. We design raised beds, handrails and seating areas that sit comfortably with traditional brickwork and heritage details. For sites around Kew, Ham or Twickenham, we also consider river-adjacent exposure and wind when selecting plants and shade structures.
We start with a site survey and a practical design plan that addresses mobility, supervision lines and maintenance. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with clear communication for managers and families. Every build is completed to a high standard, with tidy working practices and safe site management throughout. Fine Landscaping is trusted because we deliver dependable outcomes and back our workmanship with a long-term warranty.
We’re used to working across the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, where access can be tight and parking restrictions are common near Richmond Green and the riverside. Many sites have mature trees and shaded corners, so we specify planting that performs in dappled light and improve drainage where needed. We also plan deliveries and waste removal carefully to keep entrances clear and residents undisturbed. Our team is based about 40 minutes away, so support and follow-up visits are straightforward.

Costs vary with size, access and the features required. As a guide, a small upgrade with seating, sensory planting and minor path improvements may start from £4,000–£8,000. A mid-sized scheme with new accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails and safe boundaries is often £12,000–£30,000. Larger, fully designed memory gardens with shade structures and extensive surfacing can be £35,000+. We provide itemised options to suit budgets.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design is agreed and materials are booked in. Smaller refreshes can be completed in a few days, while larger layouts with new paths, drainage and multiple zones may take 4–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access (especially for period buildings), the amount of groundwork, and lead times for bespoke raised beds, handrails or shade structures. We programme work to reduce disruption.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, and most seating areas. However, rules can apply to higher boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, significant level changes, and works on listed buildings or within conservation areas—both are common locally. We review your site, advise what’s likely to need consent, and can help prepare information for the council if required. Compliance and safety are built into the design.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, raised bed construction, handrails fixings and built structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are supplied with manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We also explain aftercare for planting, including watering and seasonal pruning, to help the garden establish well. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and professionally.
We offer a wide range of options, chosen for safety, comfort and ease of maintenance. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, brick-edged raised beds, sensory planting with herbs and soft foliage, and robust benches with arms for easier standing. Memory gardens can include familiar planting themes and clear looped routes. We’ll recommend finishes that suit your building style and maintenance resources, then provide samples before you decide.
