Canary Wharf gardens and terraces often need more than a quick tidy-up before landscaping can begin. We handle site clearance, excavation, levelling and grading to create a stable base for patios, planters, turf or decking. Working near One Canada Square and Jubilee Park, we’re used to tight access routes and strict site standards. If you’re in E14 on the Isle of Dogs, we’ll get the groundwork right first time.
Local properties range from modern high-rise apartments with balconies to waterfront developments and penthouses with roof terraces. These spaces can involve lightweight build-ups, podium decks, and complex drainage runs, so accuracy matters. Our garden groundworks Canary Wharf area service is tailored to contemporary construction and premium finishes. We also support projects across Poplar, Limehouse and nearby Greenwich where access and levels can vary street by street.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, existing surfaces, drainage routes and load requirements. Then we plan safe access, protect communal areas, and schedule waste removal so the site stays clean and compliant. Every stage is measured, photographed where helpful, and signed off with you before moving on. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for clear communication, tidy working practices and dependable results.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth, waste volumes and whether drainage or foundations are needed. As a guide, small terrace groundworks and levelling may start from £900–£2,000. Larger jobs with excavation, drainage runs and new foundations often fall around £2,500–£8,000+. Complex access (lifts, booked bays) and skip restrictions in E14 can affect the final figure, so we provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most smaller groundworks projects take 1–3 days, especially where it’s mainly clearance, minor excavation and levelling. Medium jobs with drainage and foundations commonly take 3–7 days. Larger or more complex builds can run 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access arrangements, spoil removal, drying/curing time for concrete, and any surprises uncovered during excavation such as redundant services or unstable sub-bases.
Many garden groundworks are permitted development, particularly like-for-like patio bases, levelling within reason, and drainage improvements on private land. However, permission may be required for major changes to ground levels, works affecting shared structures, or if your building has specific management rules. In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we also consider drainage compliance and any restrictions on waste removal or skips. We’ll advise what applies before work starts.
Yes. Our groundworks are covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the elements we install, such as sub-bases, foundations and drainage runs, when used as specified. This covers defects arising from installation issues, including settlement caused by inadequate compaction or incorrect falls. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme events, or misuse. We also provide clear aftercare guidance to help protect your investment.
We prepare bases for porcelain and natural stone paving, composite or timber decking, artificial grass, turf, and raised planters. For modern terraces, we can build precise falls to channel drains, install soakaway solutions where suitable, and form reinforced foundations for screens or pergolas. We’ll help you choose build-ups that match your finish, weight limits, and drainage needs, then set levels so everything looks sharp and performs well.
