From compact courtyards near New Cross station to larger plots by Telegraph Hill, well-planned flower beds can transform outdoor space fast. Fine Landscaping creates new beds, reshapes existing borders, and refreshes planting to suit how you use the garden. Expect thoughtful planting design with perennials, annuals and bulbs for reliable seasonal colour. We also finish with mulching to lock in moisture and keep weeds down.
New Cross has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with narrow side access and small rear gardens. We design beds that work with limited space, shared boundaries and shaded corners—common around Deptford and Brockley. If your garden gets strong sun, we’ll select drought-tolerant plants; if it’s north-facing, we’ll build texture and colour with shade performers. The result is planting that looks intentional, not overcrowded.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, assess light levels and check drainage, then we propose a planting plan with clear options. We carry out soil preparation, edging, and planting with careful spacing so beds mature beautifully. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and clear communication from start to finish. We’re based just 25 minutes away, so aftercare and seasonal tweaks are easy to arrange.
Gardens across the London Borough of Lewisham often have compact plots, mixed light conditions and areas of tired, builder’s soil. We adjust soil preparation with compost, conditioners and mulches to suit what we find on site. Access can be tight around SE14 terraces, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where parking is restricted, we schedule efficiently and keep the work area neat and compliant.

Costs vary with bed size, access, soil condition and plant choice. As a guide, refreshing an existing border with soil improvement and replanting often starts around £350–£900. Creating a new bed with edging, soil preparation, planting design and plants is commonly £900–£2,500+. Larger gardens or premium planting schemes can be £3,000–£6,000+. We 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 layouts or multiple borders can take 3–5 days, especially if we’re reshaping beds, improving poor soil or working around narrow access typical of Victorian terraces. Timescales also depend on plant availability, weather, and whether you’d like staged planting for seasonal displays. We confirm a schedule before starting.
In most cases, flower beds, planting and mulching are permitted garden works and don’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if you’re in a conservation area, your property is listed, or the work involves significant changes to boundary walls, railings or the front garden layout. We’ll flag any likely issues during the visit and can advise on Lewisham council guidance where relevant, so you avoid problems later.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installed elements we construct, such as edging and bed formation, when maintained appropriately. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on watering, weather and site conditions; we’ll specify suitable options and provide care guidance to maximise success. If anything looks wrong after installation, we’ll return to inspect and recommend practical fixes.
We can create crisp borders with steel, brick or timber edging, or keep a softer look with spade-cut edges. Planting options include pollinator-friendly perennials, bold annual colour, spring bulbs, structural evergreens and low-maintenance mixes for busy households. We’ll also advise on mulches such as composted bark or декоратив gravel where appropriate. Your design is tailored to light levels, soil type, and the style of your home and garden.
