Fine Landscaping supplies and installs side gates, pedestrian gates and driveway gates with robust hinges, reliable latches and neat finishes. If you’re close to Southfields tube station or walking routes by King George's Park, we can help you choose a design that looks right from the street. We also offer matching fencing so boundaries feel consistent.
Southfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with narrow side passages and shared boundary lines. We regularly fit gates that work with brick piers, rendered walls and existing timber fencing, keeping sightlines and access practical. For busier periods around Wimbledon, homeowners often ask for stronger locks and smoother operation for frequent use. Our designs suit everything from traditional slatted timber to more contemporary metalwork.
We start with a site visit to measure openings accurately, check ground levels and confirm hinge and latch positions. You’ll receive clear options on materials, finishes, locks and automation, plus advice on matching fencing panels and posts. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with careful alignment so gates don’t drag or bind over time. Local homeowners trust us for straightforward communication, clean working practices and long-lasting results.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, access can be tight on terrace streets and parking restrictions may apply, so we plan deliveries and installation times carefully. Many Southfields properties have older brickwork and varied ground levels, which affects post setting and hinge alignment. We adapt fixings and foundations to suit, especially where driveways meet public pavements. If you’re in Wimbledon Park, Earlsfield or Putney, we’ll advise on designs that suit the streetscape and daily use.

Costs vary by size, material and whether posts or brick piers need work. As a guide, a simple timber side gate supplied and fitted is often £450–£900, while metal pedestrian gates are commonly £700–£1,500. Driveway gates typically start around £1,800–£4,500 for a pair, with automation usually adding £1,200–£2,800 depending on power and safety features. We’ll confirm after a site measure.
Most side or pedestrian gate installations take half a day to a full day once the gate is ready, especially if posts are sound. If we’re setting new posts in concrete, allow extra curing time, often returning the next day for final adjustments. Driveway gates can take 1–2 days, and automation may add another day for wiring, safety edges and testing. Timescales depend on access, ground levels and any repairs to walls or fencing.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but rules can apply to height, position next to a highway and listed buildings or conservation areas. As a general guide, gates and fences facing a road have stricter height limits than those within the rear garden. If your gate is near the pavement or you’re changing boundary heights, we’ll flag the likely requirements and help you check Wandsworth guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gate installations, covering issues such as faulty fixing, alignment problems caused by installation, and premature loosening of hinges or latches.
