From Bermondsey Street to the riverside near Tower Bridge, outdoor space in SE1 and SE16 is too valuable for patchy borders and struggling plants. Fine Landscaping designs and installs flower beds that add structure, soften hard landscaping and make patios feel greener. Whether you want a bold, modern scheme or a relaxed cottage look, we tailor planting to your aspect and maintenance preferences. You’ll get a bed that looks intentional, not “filled in”.
Bermondsey’s mix of converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments means gardens range from compact courtyards to roof terraces and shared communal plots. We’re used to tight access routes, basement light wells and balconies that need wind-tolerant planting. For terraces around London Bridge and Rotherhithe, we often balance privacy planting with seasonal colour. If you’re near Surrey Quays, we can also plan for more exposed conditions and salt-laden breezes.
Our process covers bed creation, soil preparation, planting design and careful installation, finished with mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. We select reliable perennials, annuals and bulbs for a long flowering window, not a short-lived burst. You’ll receive clear planting plans, aftercare guidance and honest recommendations on what will thrive. Local homeowners trust us for tidy workmanship, punctual scheduling and results that improve year after year.
Working across the London Borough of Southwark, we regularly deal with made-up ground, compacted soils and shaded courtyards between tall buildings. Access can be restricted around Bermondsey Spa Gardens and busy streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Where parking is limited, we schedule efficient load-ins and keep disruption low for neighbours. Plant choices are adapted to microclimates created by brick walls, river breezes and reflective glass.

Costs vary with bed size, access, soil condition and plant specification. As a guide, small bed refreshes with soil improvement and planting often start from £450–£900. New bed creation with edging, soil preparation, planting design and a fuller plant palette typically ranges £1,200–£3,500+. Larger or multiple beds, premium specimens, irrigation add-ons or difficult access in SE1/SE16 can increase the budget.
Most single beds take 1–2 days from ground preparation to planting and mulching. Larger gardens or multiple borders usually take 3–5 days, especially if we’re reshaping levels, improving drainage or replacing poor soil. Timescales also depend on access (stairs, narrow passages), weather, and whether plants are sourced to order. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before we start.
In most cases, creating or replanting flower beds is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering boundary walls, working in a conservation area, affecting trees with protection orders, or making changes to communal areas in apartment developments. We’ll flag any potential issues and can help you check Southwark guidance before work begins, so you avoid delays.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements associated with bed creation (such as edging and ground preparation completed by us). Plants are living materials, so their success depends on weather and aftercare, but we supply robust varieties and give clear maintenance guidance. If any installation-related issues arise, we’ll return to inspect and put things right promptly.
We can create simple soft borders or more structured beds with crisp edging using steel, brick, stone setts or timber sleepers. Planting options include low-maintenance perennials, high-impact annual displays, spring bulbs, pollinator-friendly mixes and evergreen structure for winter. We’ll assess light, soil and your preferred style, then propose a planting design that fits your budget and how much upkeep you want.
