From riverside gardens near Kingston Bridge to compact courtyards by the Bentall Centre, well-designed flower beds make outdoor space feel finished. Fine Landscaping creates beds that suit how you use your garden—whether that’s entertaining, relaxing, or improving kerb appeal. We combine planting design with proper groundworks so borders establish quickly and stay healthy. Expect seasonal colour, tidy edges, and planting that complements your home.
The Kingston upon Thames area mixes Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each with different garden proportions and light levels. In Surbiton and New Malden, we often work with narrow side returns, mature trees and shaded boundaries. We design planting that thrives in these conditions, balancing perennials for structure with annuals and bulbs for punchy highlights. The result is a border that looks intentional rather than ‘filled in’.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear planting plan, followed by soil preparation, bed creation and careful installation. We improve structure with organic matter, set levels for drainage, and finish with mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. You’ll receive practical aftercare guidance and planting notes so your beds keep improving year after year. Many local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a long-term approach to garden health.
Gardens across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames can vary from free-draining riverside soils to heavier, compacted ground in older plots. We adjust soil preparation and mulching to suit, and plan planting for wind exposure around open waterfront settings. Access and parking can be tight near KT1 shopping streets and busier routes, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our designs also respect period features common to Kingston’s Victorian and Edwardian homes.

Costs depend on bed size, access, soil condition and planting density. As a guide, refreshing an existing border with soil improvement and new planting often starts around £450–£900. Creating a new bed with edging, soil preparation, planting design and mulching is commonly £900–£2,500+. Larger gardens or premium specimen plants can take projects beyond £3,500. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most small to medium flower bed projects take 1–2 days, including soil preparation, planting and mulching. Larger or multiple borders may take 3–5 days, especially if we’re reshaping beds, improving drainage or removing old shrubs. Timescales also depend on access, waste removal, and whether plants need sourcing to a specific palette. We’ll confirm a schedule and keep disruption to a minimum.
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 protected trees or roots. If you’re near boundaries or altering levels significantly, it’s worth checking. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can help you understand what the council may require.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for associated landscaping elements we install (such as edging, bed formation and ground preparation carried out as part of the project). Plant performance can vary due to weather, watering and pests, but we supply robust planting and clear aftercare guidance to maximise success. If something doesn’t look right shortly after installation, we’ll inspect and advise quickly.
We offer planting design tailored to your style—cottage mixes, contemporary architectural schemes, pollinator-friendly borders, or low-maintenance evergreen structure. Plant options include perennials for repeat performance, annuals for instant colour, and bulbs for spring and early-summer impact. Mulch finishes can be composted bark, well-rotted organic matter, or decorative gravels where suitable. We’ll recommend combinations based on light, soil, and how much upkeep you want.
