Response within 24 hours
Keeping a Forest Hill garden looking its best takes more than an occasional mow. Our team handles lawn care, hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, planting and full garden tidying with waste removal included. We regularly work near Forest Hill station and around the Horniman Museum, so we understand the mix of compact town gardens and larger plots. If you want seasonal maintenance that stays on top of growth, we can schedule visits to suit you.
Forest Hill has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus period conversions with shared or split gardens. That often means narrow side access, established shrubs, and borders that need careful pruning rather than heavy cutting back. We tailor planting and maintenance to light levels and microclimates, whether you’re close to Devonshire Road Nature Reserve or up towards Blythe Hill Fields. Many clients in Sydenham and Honor Oak ask us to balance tidy structure with wildlife-friendly planting.
We start with a quick site visit, then agree a clear plan: what to cut, what to keep, and how often to return. Every visit includes a proper clean finish—paths swept, beds edged, and green waste removed. You’ll get consistent standards from the same local team, with polite, punctual service and straightforward communication. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, so ongoing support is easy to arrange.
As gardeners contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to clay-heavy soils, shaded borders and damp corners that encourage moss and weeds. Many SE23 properties have stepped gardens and tight access, so we plan tool choice and waste removal carefully. Parking can be limited on residential streets, so we schedule efficiently and keep disruption down. We also work considerately around shared paths and neighbouring boundaries common in period conversions.

Costs in SE23 usually depend on garden size, access, and how overgrown it is. As a guide, a one-off tidy-up with weeding, pruning and waste removal often falls around £120–£300. Regular maintenance visits are commonly £60–£140 per visit, depending on frequency and tasks. Hedge trimming and lawn treatments can add to the total, especially for tall hedges or specialist feeding and scarifying.
Most routine maintenance visits take 1–3 hours for a small to medium Forest Hill garden. Larger plots, heavy pruning, or a full seasonal tidy can take half a day to a full day, particularly where there are multiple hedges, lots of borders, or significant leaf clearance. Access matters too—narrow side returns and steps slow down waste removal. We’ll confirm a realistic timescale after seeing the garden.
Most gardening tasks—lawn care, hedge trimming, pruning, planting and general tidying—don’t need permission. The main exceptions are protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) and work within conservation areas, where rules can apply to felling or heavy pruning. If you’re unsure, we can help you check Lewisham’s guidance and advise on best practice. We also work responsibly with waste disposal, using licensed routes for removal.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on qualifying landscaping installations we carry out (such as hard landscaping and built features). For gardening and maintenance, we guarantee workmanship on the day—everything completed as agreed, left tidy, and waste removed where included. Planting success depends on weather, soil and aftercare, so we’ll advise on watering and maintenance to give new plants the best chance to establish.
We can work to your style, from structured evergreen hedging to softer, wildlife-friendly borders. Popular options include low-maintenance perennials, shade-tolerant planting for north-facing gardens, spring bulbs, and drought-tough plants for sunnier plots. For lawns, we can improve density with feeding, aeration and overseeding. We’ll assess light, soil and drainage, then suggest plants and a maintenance plan that fits your time and budget.
