Want borders that look good beyond a single season? We create and refresh flower beds across SE15, from compact courtyards near Peckham Library to larger family gardens by Peckham Rye Park. Our planting design balances structure and colour, so beds look intentional rather than overgrown. Expect clean lines, healthy soil, and plants chosen for your light levels and lifestyle.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often comes with varied garden shapes—long narrow plots, paved courtyards, or raised beds. We’re used to working with tight side access in Nunhead and the mixed sun and shade found around East Dulwich borders. Whether you want a modern, architectural scheme or a softer cottage feel, we tailor planting to the property and the microclimate. The result is a bed that suits the building and is practical to maintain.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess drainage, soil condition and exposure, then we propose a clear planting plan with options for perennials, annuals and bulbs. We handle bed creation, soil preparation, planting, and mulching, with tidy workmanship and minimal disruption. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, transparent recommendations, and planting that establishes well. We also offer seasonal refreshes so your borders keep performing year after year.
Gardens in the flower beds peckham area often have compact access routes and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Soil can vary from tired, compacted ground in older terraces to made-up soils around warehouse conversions, so we adjust compost, grit and mulch to suit. We also design with urban conditions in mind—wind funnels, reflective heat from paving, and shaded corners. For flower beds in London Borough of Southwark, we work tidily and keep boundaries and paths clear throughout.

Costs depend on bed size, access, soil condition and the planting mix you choose. As a guide, a small bed refresh with soil improvement and planting can be £350–£900. New bed creation with edging, topsoil/compost, planting design and mulching is often £900–£2,500+. Larger gardens or premium schemes with mature specimens can reach £3,000–£6,000+.
Most small to medium jobs take 1–2 days, including soil preparation, planting and mulching. Larger gardens, multiple borders, or significant bed creation can take 3–5 days. Timescales vary with access in SE15, the amount of excavation needed, and whether we’re installing bulbs and perennials in volume. Weather and plant availability can also affect scheduling, especially in peak spring and autumn.
Flower bed creation and planting is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering boundary walls, working on a listed building, or making changes that affect drainage to the public highway. If your property is in a conservation area, extra care may be needed with front garden alterations. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise what to check with Southwark Council before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty for the installed elements we control, such as bed construction, edging and ground preparation. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on watering, weather and aftercare; we’ll provide clear care guidance to maximise establishment. If a plant fails due to a planting or soil-prep issue, we’ll assess and put it right. We also offer maintenance visits for ongoing support.
We can create crisp contemporary borders, wildlife-friendly cottage planting, or low-maintenance evergreen structure with seasonal highlights. Popular options include mixed perennials, annual colour pockets, spring bulbs, and drought-tolerant planting for sunny spots. Mulch choices range from composted bark to decorative gravel, depending on style and weed control needs. We’ll recommend plants for your light, soil and desired upkeep, and can incorporate scent, pollinator plants or specific colour palettes.
