Whether you’re by Elephant Park or near Strata Tower, well-built flower beds can transform a small outdoor space. We create new beds, refresh tired borders and redesign planting to suit light levels and access. Expect thoughtful plant combinations, seasonal colour and tidy edging that looks sharp year-round. Our team handles everything from bed creation to mulching for a clean, finished look.
Elephant & Castle has a mix of modern high-rises, Victorian terraces and new-build apartments, each with different garden challenges. Courtyard gardens in Walworth and balcony planters in Kennington often need lightweight, drought-tolerant planting. Period terraces around Newington can benefit from deeper borders and classic cottage-style mixes. We tailor flower beds elephant & castle area homeowners want—designed for the space you actually have.
We start with a site visit, then plan the bed layout, soil improvement and planting design around your preferences and maintenance level. Soil preparation is never skipped: we improve structure, add organic matter and set correct levels for drainage. Planting is installed neatly with appropriate spacing, then finished with mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fine Landscaping is 25 minutes away, so you get responsive scheduling and reliable aftercare advice.
In the London Borough of Southwark, many gardens sit on made ground with variable drainage, so we assess and amend soils carefully. Access can be tight around SE1 and SE17 developments, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We’re used to working around communal areas, courtyards and restricted parking, and we keep sites tidy throughout. Plant choices are adapted for wind exposure near taller blocks and warmer microclimates in sheltered patios.

Costs vary by bed size, access, soil condition and plant specification. As a guide, a small refresh (weeding, soil improvement, replanting and mulch) often starts around £350–£800. New bed creation with edging, soil preparation and a designed planting scheme is commonly £900–£2,500+. Larger or multiple borders, premium plants or extensive soil replacement can take projects to £3,000–£6,000.
Most small to medium flower bed projects take 1–2 days, including soil preparation, planting and mulching. Larger gardens or multiple borders typically take 3–5 days, especially if we’re removing old shrubs, improving drainage or bringing in new topsoil. Timescales also depend on access (stairs, courtyards), the complexity of the planting design and whether you want staged planting for seasonal interest.
In most cases, creating or improving flower beds is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. Restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works affect shared/communal spaces in apartment developments. If you’re adding significant retaining walls, changing levels near boundaries, or working close to public pathways, extra checks may be sensible. We’ll flag likely issues and help you confirm requirements with Southwark where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install as part of the bed build (such as edging, raised bed structures and fixing methods), provided they’re used and maintained normally. Plant performance depends on weather and ongoing care, but we select suitable varieties and give clear aftercare guidance to maximise success. If an installation issue arises, we’ll return to inspect and put it right.
We can create simple in-ground borders or raised beds using sleepers, brick, stone or metal edging for a crisp line. Planting designs range from low-maintenance evergreen structure to high-impact seasonal colour with annuals, bulbs and long-flowering perennials. Popular schemes include pollinator-friendly planting, modern architectural grasses, and classic cottage mixes for terraces. We’ll recommend options based on light, soil, wind exposure and how much upkeep you want.
