From compact courtyards near Stockwell tube station to family gardens by Stockwell Park, planting needs to be planned properly to look good year-round. Fine Landscaping provides tailored planting design, plant supply and expert installation for SW9 homes. Whether you want colour through the seasons, more privacy, or a softer look around patios and paths, we’ll create borders that suit your space. Expect neat workmanship, thoughtful plant choices and a finish that settles in quickly.
Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates brings a wide range of garden sizes and light levels. We often work with narrow side returns, shaded rear gardens, and front plots where kerb appeal matters. If you’re in the garden planting Stockwell area around Brixton, Oval or Clapham, we’ll match planting to your property style and how you use the garden. The aim is a scheme that looks intentional, not overstuffed, and is realistic to maintain.
Our process starts with a clear planting plan: structure first, then seasonal interest. We source strong, nursery-quality plants, prepare the soil, and install trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs at the right depth and spacing. Borders are finished with mulching to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and we’ll advise on watering and aftercare. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy sites and a long-term approach to garden planting in London Borough of Lambeth.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lambeth often have compact access, shared paths and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Soil can vary from made ground to heavier clay pockets, so we adjust soil improvement and mulching accordingly. Many SW9 gardens include shaded boundaries from neighbouring extensions, so we select plants that cope with low light and urban conditions. We also keep an eye on any Lambeth guidance for trees near boundaries and public highways.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density, and whether you need soil improvement and mulching. As a guide, small border refreshes in SW9 often start around £450–£900 including plants, while full planting schemes for front and rear gardens commonly fall between £1,500–£4,000. Larger gardens with tree planting, specimen shrubs and premium perennials can be £5,000+. We provide a written breakdown after a site visit.
Most planting jobs take 1–2 days for a couple of borders, including bed preparation and mulching. A full garden scheme with multiple beds, tree planting and bulb layers typically takes 2–5 days, depending on access and the amount of soil improvement needed. Timescales can change with delivery lead times for specific plants, weather, and whether we’re removing old planting first. We’ll confirm a schedule before work starts.
In most cases, garden planting is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. The main exceptions are protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders), conservation area considerations, or planting that affects visibility near highways. If you’re adding or removing trees, we’ll advise on checks with Lambeth and can help you understand what’s required before any work begins. For boundary planting, we also consider roots, drainage and neighbour impacts as part of the plan.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering correct installation such as planting depth, staking, and bed preparation carried out by our team. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on watering, weather and site conditions; we’ll give clear aftercare guidance to maximise success. If a plant fails due to an installation issue, we’ll put it right. We can also offer a maintenance plan for ongoing health and shape.
We can create anything from structured evergreen frameworks to softer, naturalistic borders. Popular options include layered shrub planting with perennials for long flowering, spring bulb drifts, and small trees for height and privacy. We’ll also specify mulches (bark, composted mulch) to suit your beds and budget. During design, we consider colour palette, scent, wildlife value, and how much time you want to spend maintaining the garden.
