From the Royal Arsenal to Woolwich Town Centre, gardens in SE18 range from compact courtyards to larger family plots. Fine Landscaping creates flower beds that add instant kerb appeal and long-term structure, not just a quick splash of colour. Whether you want crisp new borders or a complete bed creation, we tailor planting to light levels, aspect and how you use the space. Expect thoughtful combinations of perennials, annuals and bulbs for reliable seasonal interest.
Woolwich’s mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments often means varied microclimates and soil conditions within a few streets. We regularly work across Plumstead, Charlton and Abbey Wood, where gardens can be shaded, windy, or limited for access. Our planting designs suit smaller patios as well as deeper rear gardens, with options for low-maintenance schemes or high-impact colour. If you’re renovating or moving into a new-build, we can establish beds that mature beautifully year after year.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess drainage, soil texture and existing planting, then we plan bed layout, edging lines and a clear planting palette. We handle soil preparation, planting design, seasonal colour planning, and finishing touches like mulching to suppress weeds and lock in moisture. You’ll get practical aftercare guidance so your new beds settle quickly. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication, and a long warranty-backed finish.
The flower beds Woolwich area often sit on compacted ground from past building works, especially around regenerated streets and apartment blocks. We improve drainage and fertility with targeted soil preparation rather than guesswork. Access can be tight near the Royal Arsenal and busier routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design for coastal breezes off the Thames and shaded boundaries common in terrace gardens.

Costs vary with bed size, access, soil condition and plant specification. As a guide, a small new bed or border refresh might start around £350–£900, including soil preparation and planting. Medium projects with redesign, improved soil and a fuller plant mix often fall between £1,000–£2,500. Larger gardens or multiple beds with premium plants, bulbs and mulching can be £3,000–£6,000+.
Most single-bed projects take 1–2 days, covering bed creation, soil preparation, planting and mulching. A full front-and-back garden border scheme is commonly 2–5 days, depending on the number of beds and how much ground improvement is needed. Timescales can extend if we’re removing old shrubs, dealing with poor drainage, or working around restricted access typical of SE18 terraces and apartment courtyards.
In most cases, flower bed creation and planting are permitted and won’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if changes affect boundary walls, railings or significant hard landscaping. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can advise on sensible approaches that align with Royal Borough of Greenwich guidance before work begins.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installed elements we control, such as bed formation, levels, and edging/retaining details where included. Plant performance depends on weather, pests and aftercare, but we select suitable varieties and provide clear watering and maintenance guidance to maximise establishment. If something isn’t right with the installation, we’ll return to put it right.
We can create crisp formal borders, relaxed cottage-style planting, or modern architectural schemes using grasses and structured evergreens. Popular options include perennial frameworks with seasonal annual colour, spring bulbs for early impact, and mulch finishes such as composted bark or well-rotted organic matter. We’ll help you choose plants for sun/shade, desired maintenance level, and colour palette, then set out a plan that matures well over time.
