Bermondsey gardens often need clever planting to soften hard landscaping and add privacy without blocking light. Whether you’re near Bermondsey Street or walking distance to Maltby Street Market, we design and install planting that suits your lifestyle and the way you use the space. Expect layered borders, reliable evergreen structure and seasonal highlights. We can also refresh tired beds with new perennials, bulbs and a clean mulch finish.
Our team works across converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments around London Bridge, Rotherhithe and Surrey Quays. Courtyard gardens and roof terraces benefit from wind-tolerant planting and compact trees, while terrace gardens often suit deeper borders and climbers. We’ll match the scheme to your aspect, soil depth and maintenance preferences. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and carry routes so the job runs smoothly.
We start with a site visit to measure, assess light and drainage, and agree the look you want—architectural, cottage-style, or contemporary. Next comes planting design, plant supply and a clear schedule for border planting, shrub planting and tree planting. We prepare the ground properly, plant at the right depth, and finish with mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. Homeowners choose us for careful workmanship, reliable communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Southwark, gardens can vary from sheltered courtyards to exposed riverside terraces, so we select plants for wind, shade and reflected heat. Many SE1 and SE16 properties have limited storage and tricky access, so we plan plant delivery times and protect communal routes. Where soil is compacted or shallow, we improve it with organic matter and choose suitable rootstocks for trees. We also keep an eye on parking and local restrictions to minimise disruption.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density and whether you need soil improvement. As a guide, border planting refreshes often start around £600–£1,500 for smaller areas, while full planting schemes for multiple beds typically range from £2,000–£6,000+. Tree planting can add £250–£1,200 per tree depending on size and root preparation. We provide a detailed breakdown for plants, labour, mulch and waste removal.
Most single-border jobs take 1 day, including preparation, planting and mulching. A full garden planting installation with several beds, shrubs and a few trees usually takes 2–5 days. Timescales depend on access (stairs, courtyards, communal routes), soil condition, and whether we’re removing old plants or improving the ground. If we’re sourcing specialist plants, lead times can add 1–2 weeks before the installation date.
In most cases, garden planting, borders and replacing shrubs are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if work affects protected trees. Tree planting is usually fine, but any work to existing trees may need checks for Tree Preservation Orders. We’ll flag likely issues during the site visit and help you confirm requirements with Southwark where needed.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the installation elements we control, such as correct planting, staking, edging reinstatement and mulching finish. Plants are living products, so their performance depends on weather and aftercare, but we supply clear watering and maintenance guidance. If a plant fails due to installation issues, we’ll put it right. Optional maintenance visits can be arranged to support establishment.
We create planting schemes ranging from contemporary architectural mixes (grasses, evergreens and sculptural shrubs) to softer perennial and bulb-led borders for long seasonal colour. Options include specimen trees, multi-stem trees, hedging for screening, pollinator-friendly perennials, and spring bulb layers. We also advise on mulch types and soil improvers to suit your beds. We’ll propose a palette that matches your garden’s light levels, space and maintenance preferences.
