If your outdoor space feels tired, shaded or hard to use, our design team can rework it into a garden you’ll enjoy every day. We regularly design for SE13 homes near Lewisham station and around Ladywell, where gardens often need smarter zoning and better planting structure. Expect clear layouts, considered materials and planting that looks good across the seasons. You’ll see the plan before any build begins, so there are no surprises.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments calls for different solutions. Period properties in Hither Green and Lee often benefit from sympathetic paving choices, brick detailing and planting that suits narrower plots. Newer homes can take bolder lines, contemporary lighting and low-maintenance planting palettes. Our designs balance privacy, drainage and year-round interest, whatever your property style.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a design brief that captures how you want to use the space. We then produce concept layouts, planting plans and (if helpful) 3D visualisation, plus options for lighting design, water features and hard landscaping design. You’ll get a staged plan with transparent costs and realistic timescales, backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for tidy sites, clear communication and designs that build beautifully.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham we often encounter mixed soils, shaded boundaries and tight access through terraced side returns. Parking and delivery planning can be important near Lewisham Shopping Centre and busier streets, so we design with practical build logistics in mind. We also consider drainage and levels carefully, especially where patios meet older brickwork. If any council constraints apply, we flag them early and adjust the design accordingly.

For garden design in Lewisham area, design fees typically range from £500–£2,500 depending on garden size, complexity and whether you want 3D visualisation, lighting design or a detailed planting plan. If you proceed to a full build, most complete projects fall around £5,000–£25,000, influenced by paving choices, retaining work, drainage, fencing and planting maturity. We provide itemised options so you can control spend.
Most projects run 2–8 weeks from survey to completion, depending on design scope and build complexity. A design-only package can be turned around faster, while full builds take longer if there are level changes, drainage upgrades, bespoke joinery or large-format paving. Lead times for materials and planting can also affect schedules. We agree a programme up front and keep you updated at each stage.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, planting and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for front gardens, listed buildings, conservation areas, significant level changes, large outbuildings or works affecting trees. For garden design in London Borough of Lewisham, we’ll highlight any likely constraints during the survey and can advise on when to check with the council before work begins.
We stand behind our work with a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, such as paving, walls, steps and constructed features, when built to our specification. This covers defects arising from installation rather than normal wear, accidental damage or misuse. Planting is living material, so we’ll advise on care and can offer maintenance plans to help it establish well. Warranty terms are provided in writing.
We tailor each scheme to your home and how you use the space, from family lawns and entertaining patios to low-maintenance courtyards. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone paving, brick edging to suit period homes, raised planters, pergolas, integrated seating, and layered planting for year-round colour. We can also incorporate lighting design and water features for evening ambience. Samples and visualisations help you choose confidently.
