Peckham gardens can be compact, sun-trapped, or surprisingly leafy—so planting needs to be planned, not guessed. We design and install planting schemes that suit how you use the space, from relaxing patios to family lawns. Whether you’re near Peckham Rye Park or around Queen’s Road, we’ll create planting that looks good now and matures well. Our service covers border planting, shrub and tree planting, perennials, bulbs and mulching.
Local homes range from Victorian terraces and Georgian houses to converted warehouses, each with different light levels and soil history. In the garden planting Peckham area, we often work with narrow side returns, raised beds, and courtyard gardens that need clever layering. We select plants that cope with urban conditions, wind tunnels between buildings, and pockets of shade. You’ll get a scheme that fits the property’s character and stays manageable.
We start with a site visit to assess aspect, drainage, and existing planting, then produce a clear planting plan and schedule. Plants are supplied from trusted nurseries and installed with correct spacing, staking and mulching to reduce stress and weeds. We work cleanly, protect paving and fences, and leave beds neat and watered-in. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, strong horticultural knowledge, and a straightforward 10-year warranty.
Working in the garden planting in London Borough of Southwark means planning for access, parking and timed deliveries on busy streets. SE15 gardens can have compacted ground from past works, so we improve beds and mulch properly to help roots establish. We also account for shade from extensions and mature trees, common around Nunhead and East Dulwich edges. Where required, we’ll help you understand council considerations for trees and boundary planting.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and whether you need a full planting design. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £400–£900, while a medium garden scheme with plant supply and installation is commonly £1,500–£4,000. Larger projects with tree planting, extensive borders, soil improvement and mulching can reach £5,000–£10,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most planting installations take 1–3 days, depending on access, bed preparation and the number of plants. A simple border planting job may be completed in a day, while a full garden scheme with multiple borders, shrubs, bulbs, mulching and tree planting can take several days. Timescales are affected by soil condition, whether old roots need removal, and delivery scheduling. We’ll confirm a clear programme before starting.
Most garden planting, border changes and mulching are permitted and don’t require planning permission. The main exceptions are protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) and work within conservation areas, where pruning or felling may need consent. If you’re adding new trees near boundaries or buildings, we’ll also consider root spread and neighbour impact. We can help you check Southwark Council guidance and advise on the safest approach before any work begins.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed planting areas, covering issues linked to installation standards such as incorrect planting depth, staking or bed preparation. Living plants are seasonal and depend on watering and weather, so plant guarantees are typically limited and vary by supplier. We’ll explain what’s covered, provide aftercare guidance, and can offer maintenance visits to support establishment during the first year.
We offer everything from contemporary architectural planting to softer cottage-style borders. Popular choices include evergreen structure with seasonal perennials, pollinator-friendly mixes, shade planting for north-facing gardens, and spring bulb layers for early colour. For materials, we can include compost and bark mulches to improve moisture retention and finish beds neatly. We’ll recommend options based on your light levels, maintenance preference, and the look that suits your home.
