Forest Hill gardens can change quickly with the seasons, especially around SE23 where mature trees and shaded plots are common. We provide reliable lawn mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, pruning and leaf clearance to keep everything under control. Whether you’re near Forest Hill station or walking distance from the Horniman Museum, we’ll maintain your garden to a consistently high standard. Visits can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on growth and your priorities.
Local homes in Forest Hill often include Victorian and Edwardian houses, period conversions and long rear gardens with mixed borders. These plots can have tight side access, established shrubs and lawns that need careful mowing patterns to avoid scalping. We’re also regularly booked across nearby Sydenham and Honor Oak, so we understand the variety of garden layouts and planting styles. Our maintenance plans are built around how you actually use the space—family-friendly, wildlife-focused or low-fuss and tidy.
We start with a quick on-site check to agree priorities, problem areas and a realistic visit schedule. Each visit follows a clear checklist—lawn care, hedge lines, beds, paths and seasonal tasks—so standards don’t slip. Green waste can be removed and left spotless, with before/after notes if you’re managing a rental. Homeowners choose us for punctuality, consistent results and careful work around planting and boundaries.
We’re used to the London Borough of Lewisham’s mix of sloping plots and shaded gardens, especially near Blythe Hill Fields and Devonshire Road Nature Reserve. Clay-heavy soil and tree cover can mean slower drainage and more moss, so we adjust mowing height and seasonal treatments accordingly. Access can be narrow on period terraces, so we bring the right kit for side returns and long runs. We also plan visits around parking and collection days to keep disruption minimal.

Most Garden Maintenance in Forest Hill is priced at £30–£60 per hour, depending on the team size and the tasks. For a typical visit, homeowners usually spend around £100–£300, covering mowing, edging, weeding, light pruning and a general tidy. Larger gardens, heavy leaf clearance, overgrown hedges or green waste removal can increase the total. Regular schedules often work out more cost-effective than one-off clear-ups.
A standard maintenance visit is often 2–4 hours, but it varies with garden size, access and how established the planting is. A small front and back garden may be completed in a couple of hours, while long Victorian plots can take half a day. Seasonal tasks—leaf clearance, heavier pruning, or first-cut lawn work in spring—add time. We’ll recommend a visit frequency that prevents things getting out of hand.
For routine garden maintenance in London Borough of Lewisham—mowing, trimming, weeding and pruning—permission is rarely needed. The main exceptions are protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) and work within conservation areas, where restrictions can apply to pruning or felling. If you’re unsure, we can help you check the property status and advise on best practice. We also work considerately with neighbours on boundary hedges and shared access.
Yes. We work to a clear specification each visit and will put right any missed items reported promptly. Where maintenance is part of a wider project completed by Fine Landscaping, our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on installed elements (such as paving, edging or timber structures), subject to normal use and appropriate care. Living plants and lawns are influenced by weather and site conditions, but we’ll always advise on aftercare to protect results.
Your plan can be simple and practical—lawn mowing, edging, hedge trimming, bed weeding and leaf clearance—or more horticultural with seasonal pruning and plant health checks. Popular add-ons include mulching beds, feeding lawns, moss control, border reshaping and replanting tired areas. If you want a lower-maintenance look, we can suggest planting choices and groundcover that reduce weeding. We tailor the schedule to your garden’s growth rate and how you use it.
