Whether you’re refreshing a tired border or starting from bare ground, we create flower beds that suit Kennington’s gardens and courtyards. We work across SE11, including Oval and Vauxhall, and regularly design schemes for homes near Kennington Park and The Oval cricket ground. Expect crisp bed lines, improved soil, and planting that looks good from the kitchen window as well as the patio. Seasonal colour is planned in from the start, not added as an afterthought.
Kennington’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often come with compact front gardens, shaded side returns and raised rear beds. We design planting to match light levels and aspect, balancing perennials, annuals and bulbs so there’s interest from early spring through late autumn. For busier households, we can prioritise low-maintenance planting with reliable performers and tidy edging. If you want a more exuberant look, we’ll layer heights and textures for a fuller, cottage-style border.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, assess drainage and understand how you use the space. We handle bed creation, soil preparation, planting design and mulching, then finish with a clear care plan so your new beds establish quickly. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, so we can respond promptly for follow-up visits and seasonal refreshes. Homeowners choose us for neat workmanship, plant quality, and planting plans that deliver the look you agreed—without surprises.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lambeth can vary from sheltered squares to exposed roof terraces and courtyard plots. In Kennington, access can be tight around mansion blocks and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for urban conditions such as warmer microclimates, occasional compaction, and mixed soil from past building work. The result is planting that performs well in the flower beds Kennington area, not just on paper.

Costs depend on bed size, access, soil condition and the planting specification. As a guide, small refreshes with soil improvement and replanting often start around £450–£900. New bed creation with edging, soil preparation, plants and mulching commonly falls between £1,200–£3,500. Larger schemes for rear gardens or multiple borders can be £4,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SE11.
Most projects take 1–3 days on site. A simple bed tidy, soil improvement and replanting can be completed in a day, while new bed creation with removal of turf, soil conditioning, planting design and mulching may take 2–3 days. Timescales depend on bed length, how much excavation is needed, access for materials, and whether planting is seasonal (e.g., bulbs in autumn).
In most cases, creating or improving flower beds is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works affect boundary walls, railings or trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on best practice with Lambeth requirements before work starts.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on relevant hard landscaping elements we install as part of the bed build (such as edging and ground preparation). Plants are living materials, so their success depends on weather and aftercare, but we supply healthy stock and give clear guidance on watering, feeding and pruning. If any issues arise due to installation, we’ll return to put them right promptly.
We can create crisp, modern beds or softer cottage-style borders, depending on your home and taste. Popular options include steel or brick edging, gravel margins, compost-rich soil improvement, and a planting mix of perennials, annuals and bulbs for staggered flowering. We’ll recommend plants for your light levels and maintenance preferences, and can include seasonal colour swaps or a scheme that looks good year after year with minimal changes.
