Richmond gardens deserve hard landscaping that complements the area’s village feel and riverside elegance. Whether you’re upgrading a patio near Richmond Green or improving access routes for a home close to Richmond Bridge, we deliver solid, well-detailed construction. Our work covers patios, pathways, walls, steps, edging and driveways, all built on proper foundations. We also integrate drainage so surfaces stay safer and cleaner through wet weather.
Across TW9 and TW10, we regularly work with Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties where space, levels and heritage character matter. In Kew, Ham and Petersham, we’re often asked to create discreet paths, rebuild boundary walls, or form steps that feel original to the setting. We match materials and proportions to your architecture, keeping joints, edging and falls neat. The result is hard landscaping Richmond area homeowners can rely on for both style and durability.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, access, existing ground conditions and how you use the garden. Next comes a clear specification covering foundations, sub-bases, drainage runs and finishes, so there are no surprises. Our team works tidily, protects surrounding areas, and keeps you updated at each stage. Every installation is backed by our 10-year warranty, which is why clients recommend us for hard landscaping in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Richmond sites often involve restricted parking, narrow side access and careful handling around established planting. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep the frontage tidy. Ground conditions can vary near the river, so we design sub-bases and drainage to suit the plot rather than using a one-size approach. Where properties are period or within sensitive settings, we recommend finishes that look appropriate and age well.

Costs depend on size, access, levels and chosen materials. As a guide, patios often range from £120–£220 per m² installed, while premium stone or complex detailing can be higher. Driveways commonly sit around £140–£260 per m² depending on sub-base depth and drainage requirements. Walls, steps and edging are usually priced by design and quantities. We provide a site-specific quote after measuring and discussing finishes.
Timescales vary with scope and groundworks. A straightforward patio may take 3–7 working days, while a larger scheme with pathways, steps, walls and drainage can take 2–4 weeks. Factors include access for machinery, removal of existing surfaces, curing time for concrete, and weather. We agree a practical schedule before starting and keep you informed if hidden issues (such as poor sub-bases) are uncovered.
Many garden hard landscaping projects are permitted development, including patios, paths and low walls, provided they meet certain rules. Driveways can be subject to drainage requirements, especially where non-permeable surfacing is proposed at the front of a property. Listed buildings and conservation areas may have extra controls. We’ll flag any likely permissions, recommend permeable options where appropriate, and help you understand what the council may require.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on our hard landscaping installations. This covers defects related to construction, such as issues with sub-base preparation, bedding, laying quality and structural stability of features we build. Materials are covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable, and we’ll advise on expected lifespans and maintenance. If a problem arises that falls within the warranty, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right.
Richmond homeowners often choose sandstone or porcelain patios for a crisp finish, with clay pavers or granite setts for pathways and edging. For walls and steps, brickwork that matches period façades is popular, alongside natural stone coping for a refined top line. We can also design permeable driveways and discreet channel drainage. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and colour tones, and tailor the layout to your home’s architecture.
