Outdoor space can transform day-to-day wellbeing in care settings, especially when it’s designed for confidence and calm. In SE18, we create gardens that encourage gentle movement, social time and quiet reflection. Whether you’re near the Royal Arsenal or closer to Woolwich Town Centre, we plan layouts that reduce trip hazards and make every corner usable. The result is a garden residents can enjoy in all seasons, with clear routes and inviting stops along the way.
Woolwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments, and care settings often inherit awkward levels, narrow side access or compact courtyards. We’re used to working around tight entrances, shared pathways and sensitive neighbours. For developments around Plumstead and Charlton, we often specify durable surfaces and planting that copes with wind exposure and variable light. Each design balances accessibility with a premium finish that suits the property.
We start with a site visit to assess mobility needs, supervision sightlines and maintenance requirements. Your plan includes accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails, seating areas, shade structures and safe boundaries, with sensory planting and memory-garden features where appropriate. We schedule works to minimise disruption, keep access routes clear, and maintain tidy, secure working areas. Homeowners and managers choose Fine Landscaping for clear communication, reliable timelines and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we often encounter mixed ground conditions, from compacted sub-bases in redeveloped plots to heavier soils in older gardens. Around Woolwich, access can be restricted by controlled parking zones and narrow service roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also design with regeneration-era properties in mind, including courtyards and roof-terrace style spaces where wind and shade affect plant choice. Our approach keeps gardens practical, compliant and easy to maintain.

Costs vary with access, levels and the features required. As a guide, smaller courtyard upgrades with paths, seating and planting often start around £3,000–£8,000. More comprehensive schemes with raised beds, handrails, secure boundaries, lighting and shade structures typically fall between £10,000–£35,000+. Complex sites needing drainage, retaining work or extensive resurfacing can be higher. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
A light refresh (planting, minor path repairs, a small seating area) can take 2–5 days. A full redesign with new accessible pathways, raised beds, boundary works and multiple zones usually takes 2–6 weeks. Timescales depend on site access in SE18, curing times for concrete or resin-bound surfaces, and lead times for bespoke joinery, shade structures or handrails. We agree a programme in advance and keep disruption controlled.
Most garden improvements—planting, raised beds, paths and typical fencing—are usually permitted development. However, permission may be needed for taller boundary treatments, works affecting listed buildings, or changes close to highways and public land. Some care settings also have internal compliance requirements for safeguarding and access. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey, check relevant guidance for the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and can support any applications if required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving installation, edging, raised bed construction and built structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products (for example, handrails, fixings or shade components) and we pass these on in writing. If any issues arise related to installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put things right in line with the warranty terms.
We tailor options to mobility needs, maintenance levels and the look of the property. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or brick raised beds, powder-coated handrails, and pergolas or sail shades for summer comfort. Sensory planting can include scented herbs, soft grasses and seasonal colour, while memory gardens may use familiar plants and clear wayfinding. We provide samples and a simple specification to help you choose confidently.
