Whether you’re close to The Oval cricket ground or walking distance from Kennington Park, a well-built flower bed can transform an outdoor space. Fine Landscaping designs and installs beds that suit your garden’s light, aspect and use. Expect crisp edges, healthy soil and planting that looks intentional from day one. We can refresh tired borders or create entirely new beds for instant impact.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often have compact front gardens and courtyard-style rear spaces. We design flower beds that maximise planting without swallowing valuable patio or access routes. For terraces around Kennington and Vauxhall, we frequently work with narrow borders, raised beds and layered planting for depth. If you’re in a shared block garden, we can propose low-maintenance schemes that still deliver strong seasonal colour.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess drainage, sun levels and existing soil condition, then moves to bed creation, soil improvement and planting design. We use quality composts, mulches and robust plant stock, combining perennials, annuals and bulbs for a long flowering season. Work is scheduled neatly around access and parking constraints near Oval tube station. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication and a finish that lasts.
Gardens around SE11 can vary from free-draining pockets to heavier, compacted soils, especially where builders’ rubble remains. We improve ground with targeted soil conditioning and mulching, and we plan planting that copes with urban heat and wind funnelling between terraces. Access can be tight on residential streets near St Mark's Church and The Oval, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Designs are scaled to suit Georgian and Victorian plots, including courtyards and front gardens.

Costs depend on bed size, access, soil condition and the planting specification. As a guide, a small refresh of an existing border with soil improvement and new planting can start from around £450–£900. Creating a new bed with edging, soil preparation, mulch and a fuller planting scheme is often £1,200–£3,500+. Larger gardens or premium plant palettes can be higher after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 days. A simple border tidy-up with mulching and seasonal planting can be completed in a day, while new bed creation with soil preparation, edging and a layered planting design often needs 2–3 days. Timescales vary with access (mansion flats and rear courtyards can slow movement), waste removal, and whether we’re waiting on specific plants or bulbs.
In most cases, flower beds and planting works are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if changes affect a front garden boundary or public realm. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and, where needed, help you understand Lambeth requirements before work starts so the installation stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the installed elements, such as bed formation, edging and related hard landscaping we build as part of the project. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on weather and aftercare, but we select suitable stock and give clear maintenance guidance. If any workmanship-related issues arise, we return to put them right promptly.
We can create traditional borders, raised beds, or courtyard-friendly planters, with edging options such as brick, stone setts, steel, timber sleepers or crisp spade-cut lines. Planting can focus on perennials for longevity, annuals for quick seasonal colour, and bulbs for spring impact, with evergreen structure where desired. We’ll suggest palettes based on sun/shade, maintenance preference and the style of your home.
