Herne Hill gardens can be compact, characterful and full of potential—especially around Brockwell Park and the routes to Herne Hill station. We create and refresh flower beds that bring reliable colour and shape to front gardens, side returns and back patios. Whether you want a crisp cottage feel or a modern, architectural look, we design planting that fits your space. Our team handles bed creation, soil preparation, planting and mulching for a clean finish.
Many homes in SE24 are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions with established boundaries and mature trees. That often means mixed light levels, tighter access and beds that need careful root-aware digging. We plan planting design to complement brickwork, iron railings and traditional paths, while keeping maintenance realistic. If you’re near Dulwich, Brixton or Tulse Hill, we’ll tailor choices to your garden’s aspect and microclimate.
We start with a site visit, discuss the look you want, then assess drainage, soil texture and sunlight before proposing a planting plan. Our process includes soil improvement, neat edging, correct plant spacing and a mulch layer to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. You’ll get clear scheduling, respectful working practices and aftercare guidance so your beds establish quickly. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, so support and follow-ups are straightforward.
We regularly work on flower beds in the Herne Hill area and across the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, where clay-heavy soils and tree roots can affect planting success. Period terraces often have narrow side access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in parking constraints and local rules for green waste disposal. The result is a bed that looks right for the property and performs well in local conditions.

Costs depend on bed size, access, soil condition and the planting scheme. As a guide, refreshing an existing bed with soil improvement, new plants and mulching often falls around £350–£900. Creating new beds with edging, deeper soil preparation and a fuller planting design is commonly £900–£2,500+. Premium schemes using specimen plants or large bulb quantities can be higher, especially for multiple borders.
Most single-bed refreshes take 1 day, including weeding, soil conditioning, planting and mulching. New bed creation usually takes 1–3 days depending on excavation, edging, and whether we’re improving drainage. Larger gardens or multiple borders can take 3–5 days, particularly if access is tight in period terraces. Timescales also vary with plant availability and whether you want a phased, seasonal planting approach.
In most cases, creating or updating flower beds is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works affect protected trees or boundary walls. Some front garden changes may also have rules around hardstanding and drainage. We’ll flag any likely issues during the visit and advise if you should check with Lambeth or Southwark before we start.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements such as bed edging and construction-related aspects, provided normal care is followed. Plants are living materials, so establishment depends on watering, weather and site conditions, but we select suitable varieties and plant them correctly to maximise success. We also give aftercare guidance and can arrange maintenance visits to keep beds performing well through the seasons.
We design beds using a mix of perennials for structure, annuals for instant colour, and bulbs for spring impact. Popular styles include pollinator-friendly planting, formal evergreen frameworks with seasonal highlights, and low-maintenance schemes with repeat-flowering varieties. We can also add mulch finishes such as composted bark or well-rotted organic matter to suit the look and soil needs. We’ll recommend plant palettes based on light levels, colour preferences and upkeep time.
