Well-planned lighting changes how you use your garden after dark, whether you’re walking out to the bin store or hosting friends. We design and install path lighting, wall lights and spotlights that feel natural rather than over-bright. Around The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park, many gardens benefit from layered lighting that respects neighbours and period architecture. We cover SE11 and nearby streets leading towards Vauxhall and Elephant & Castle.
Kennington’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often comes with compact courtyards, raised decks and shared access routes. We’re used to working with narrow side returns, basement lightwells and front gardens where discreet fittings matter. Our approach suits both classic brick façades and contemporary extensions, with cable routes planned to minimise disruption. If you’re in the garden lighting Kennington area, we’ll tailor brightness and beam angles to your layout and privacy.
We start with an evening-focused design visit, mapping sightlines, steps and key features to highlight. You’ll receive a clear plan covering fittings, cabling, transformer locations and smart-control options, with tidy installation and testing as standard. We use outdoor-rated components and neat finishes, then set scenes and timers so everything works from day one. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means planning around controlled parking zones and limited access on some streets near Kennington tube station. We schedule deliveries sensibly and keep materials compact for tight side passages. Many properties have mature trees and mixed paving levels, so we position spotlights and wall lights to avoid harsh shadows and light spill. We also consider neighbours in mansion blocks, using shields and careful aiming.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, cable routes and whether you choose smart controls. As a guide, a small courtyard with 6–10 lights and a basic transformer is often £900–£2,000. Medium gardens with layered path lighting, uplighting and wall lights typically fall around £2,000–£4,500. Larger or premium schemes with smart zoning, extra circuits and feature spotlights can be £4,500–£8,000+.
Most installations take 1–3 days once the design is agreed. A straightforward set of path lights and a couple of wall lights can be completed in a day, while larger gardens with multiple circuits, deck lights and smart controls may take 2–3 days. Timescales depend on access, whether cables need trenching under paving, and how many areas you want to highlight. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
Garden lighting is usually permitted development, so planning permission isn’t normally required. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if fittings materially alter the building’s appearance (for example, prominent wall lights on a Georgian façade). We also consider nuisance and light spill to neighbouring homes. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on suitable, low-impact fittings and placement.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as cable joints, connections and correct fitting placement when installed to our specification. Individual light fittings and transformers also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and product type. We’ll register products where applicable and provide documentation on completion. If a fault occurs, we diagnose the cause and put it right promptly, including replacing defective components under warranty terms.
We offer a wide range of styles, from discreet stainless or powder-coated path lights to warm wall lights that suit period brickwork. Popular choices include uplighting for trees, spotlights for architectural details, low-glare deck lights for steps, and festoon lighting for entertaining areas. You can choose mains low-voltage systems, solar options for tricky cable routes, and smart controls for scenes and dimming. We’ll recommend colour temperature, beam angles and placement to match your garden.
