Response within 24 hours
If your garden in SE5 has become overgrown, uneven or simply dated, we can restore it quickly and properly. We regularly work around Denmark Hill station and the streets leading towards Ruskin Park, where compact plots and mature planting are common. Our renovation service covers everything from clearance and repairs to replanting and lawn renovation. The aim is a garden that looks better, functions better, and is easier to maintain.
Denmark Hill’s Victorian terraces and Georgian houses often have long, narrow gardens with older paving, tired fencing and shaded corners. Purpose-built flats can bring shared boundaries, access routes and strict waste handling. We tailor planting to light levels and privacy needs, whether you’re near Camberwell or closer to Herne Hill. The result is a renovation that fits the property, not a one-size plan.
We start with an on-site assessment, then agree a clear scope covering clearance, repairs, refresh planting and finishing details. Our team protects paths, neighbours’ boundaries and existing features you want to keep, then completes the work in tidy stages. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 20 minutes away, so we can respond quickly for follow-ups. Every project is completed to a written standard, with workmanship backed by our warranty.
We’re used to the access challenges around SE5, including narrow side returns and on-street parking restrictions near King’s College Hospital. Many Southwark gardens sit on compacted ground from years of footfall, so we improve levels and drainage before replanting. Where Victorian boundaries are fragile, we repair fencing carefully and keep neighbours informed. We also plan waste removal and deliveries to minimise disruption on busy residential roads.

Costs vary with size, access and what needs replacing. For Denmark Hill gardens, a light renovation (clearance, minor repairs, refresh planting) often starts around £900–£2,500. Mid-range projects including lawn renovation, patio cleaning and several repairs are commonly £2,500–£6,500. Larger renovations with extensive replanting, new edging and significant fence repairs can be £6,500–£12,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after assessment.
Most renovations take 2–7 working days, depending on garden size and how much clearance and repair work is required. A small courtyard or flat garden may be completed in 1–2 days, while a long Victorian terrace garden with lawn renovation, multiple repairs and replanting can take 1–2 weeks. Weather, drying time after patio cleaning, access for waste removal, and plant availability can all affect scheduling.
Most garden renovation work is permitted development, such as planting, lawn works, patio cleaning and like-for-like fence repairs. Permission can be needed for major changes to levels, new large hardstanding, high boundary treatments, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any potential issues during the assessment and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Southwark before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship, covering issues arising from installation or repair work carried out by our team (such as structural fence repairs and certain hard landscaping elements). It doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme weather events, or normal wear and tear, and living plants are subject to seasonal conditions and aftercare. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific scope and provide it in writing.
We can renovate using options that suit Denmark Hill’s period homes and modern flats alike: refreshed borders with shade-tolerant planting, lawn repair or re-turfing, gravel or bark for low-maintenance areas, and cleaning existing patios to avoid unnecessary replacement. For boundaries, we repair or upgrade panels, posts and trellis for privacy. We’ll recommend choices based on light, soil condition, drainage and how you want to use the space.
