From neat front gardens near Streatham Hill station to larger plots by Telford Park, planting needs to look good and cope with London life. Fine Landscaping delivers tailored planting design, reliable plant supply, and expert border planting that settles in quickly. Whether you want bold seasonal impact or a calmer, evergreen framework, we plan for colour, height and scent. We also handle bulbs, perennials, shrubs and trees to create a garden that matures beautifully.
Homes around SW2 include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, often with narrow side access and compact rear gardens. We design planting to suit these proportions—layering shrubs and perennials to add depth without crowding paths or patios. For sunnier plots we’ll lean into drought-tolerant choices; for shaded corners we’ll use woodland-style planting that thrives. If you’re in Streatham, Tulse Hill or West Norwood, we’ll match the scheme to your garden’s aspect and lifestyle.
Our process starts with a site visit, soil check and a clear planting plan showing positions and spacing. We source strong, nursery-quality plants, plant at the right depth, improve the soil, and finish with mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. You’ll get practical aftercare guidance so your new borders establish well. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, dependable scheduling and results that keep improving season after season.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lambeth often have mixed, compacted soils and varied light due to neighbouring buildings. We adjust with compost, mulches and plant choices that cope with urban conditions and summer dry spells. Access can be tight around Christchurch Road and similar streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. If parking restrictions apply, we organise logistics in advance for a smooth installation.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and the mix of perennials, shrubs and trees. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £450–£900 including soil improvement and mulching. Medium schemes for front and rear borders commonly fall between £1,200–£2,800. Larger, design-led installations with premium specimens and multiple beds can be £3,000–£7,500+. We’ll provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Most planting jobs take 1–2 days for a straightforward border and 2–5 days for multiple beds, tree planting and soil preparation. Timescales depend on access, how much ground preparation is needed, and whether we’re removing old plants or improving compacted soil. Plant availability can also affect scheduling if you want specific varieties. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before we start and keep you updated throughout.
In most cases, garden planting, border planting and mulching are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, there can be rules around protected trees, conservation areas, and works near boundaries—especially if you’re planting or removing trees. If a Tree Preservation Order applies, permission may be needed before any work. We’ll flag potential issues, help you check with Lambeth Council where relevant, and plan the work to stay compliant.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which applies to the installation standards we control—such as correct planting methods, staking, edging and soil preparation work we carry out. Living plants are affected by weather and aftercare, so plant replacement is handled case-by-case and depends on the supplier’s terms and the care provided. We’ll give clear aftercare instructions and can recommend maintenance visits to help everything establish well.
We offer planting design to suit modern, cottage, Mediterranean and wildlife-friendly styles, with options for low-maintenance evergreen structure or seasonal colour. Popular choices include layered shrub borders, perennials for long flowering, spring bulbs for early impact, and feature trees for height and privacy. We’ll also advise on mulching types and soil improvement. After assessing light and soil, we propose a palette that fits your budget and how much upkeep you want.
