Whether you want fuller borders, a new tree for privacy, or seasonal colour, we deliver planting that looks right from day one and improves each year. We regularly work around KT1 and KT2, including gardens near Kingston Bridge and the Bentall Centre. Our planting design balances shape, scent and flowering times so your garden feels considered rather than crowded. We can refresh existing beds or create new planting from scratch.
Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each with different planting needs. Period gardens often suit layered borders with shrubs and perennials, while newer plots benefit from strong structure and low-maintenance schemes. In Surbiton and New Malden we’re often asked to soften hard landscaping and add privacy without blocking light. We tailor plant choices to aspect, soil, and how you use the space—pets, children, entertaining or quiet retreat.
We start with a site visit, discuss your style, and produce a clear planting plan with options for plant supply and installation. Borders are prepared properly, planted at the right spacing, then finished with mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. You’ll get practical aftercare guidance and a straightforward handover so plants establish quickly. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, neat work, and consistent results across the garden planting Kingston upon Thames area.
Gardens across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames often vary from free-draining riverside soils to heavier clay pockets, so we adjust plant selection and soil improvement accordingly. Access can be tight on some residential streets, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. For waterfront apartments and smaller courtyards, we use compact trees, shrubs and perennials that won’t outgrow the space. We also factor in wind exposure near the Thames when choosing staking and hardy varieties.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and whether you need design, soil improvement and mulching. As a guide, small border refreshes often start from £350–£900, while larger planting schemes with plant supply and installation typically fall around £1,500–£4,500. Tree planting can add £250–£1,200 per tree depending on size and access. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most planting jobs take 1–2 days for a small to medium garden, including bed preparation and mulching. Larger schemes, multiple borders, or several trees and shrubs can take 3–5 days, especially if soil needs improving or old planting needs removing. Timescales also depend on access for deliveries, weather, and plant availability. We’ll confirm a schedule in advance and keep disruption to a minimum.
Garden planting and typical border work rarely needs planning permission. The main exceptions are protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders), work within conservation areas, or planting that affects shared boundaries or visibility near roads. If you’re considering larger tree planting or changes close to a boundary, we’ll flag any potential issues and help you check the relevant council guidance. We always work responsibly and with neighbours in mind.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation standards such as correct planting, staking, and bed preparation where specified. Living plants are affected by weather and aftercare, so plant guarantees depend on the supplier and the agreed maintenance approach. We’ll explain what’s covered, provide aftercare instructions, and can arrange follow-up visits to help plants establish well. Clear expectations mean fewer failures and better long-term results.
We offer planting design and supply for everything from modern, architectural schemes to softer cottage-style borders. Popular options include evergreen structure with shrubs, long-flowering perennials, spring bulbs, pollinator-friendly mixes, and small ornamental trees for privacy. We can also create low-maintenance planting with fewer, bolder species and a generous mulch finish. We’ll recommend plants based on aspect, soil, colour preferences and how much upkeep you want.
