Response within 24 hours
From Catford Broadway to Mountsfield Park, new and refurbished schemes in SE6 need landscaping that looks sharp at handover and performs long-term. Fine Landscaping delivers complete external works for housing developments: show home gardens, communal areas and robust street planting. We plan for kerb appeal, safe access and year-round structure. Every element is installed with build programmes and snag-free completion in mind.
Catford’s regenerating streets mix Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties, so plot sizes and levels can change quickly from one road to the next. We design front and rear gardens that suit compact plots, side access constraints and family use. For communal courtyards and shared paths, we specify hard-wearing materials and low-maintenance planting. Our layouts also complement the character of nearby areas such as Hither Green and Grove Park.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear scope for each plot and shared space. You’ll receive a practical design and specification, coordinated around utilities, drainage and build sequencing. Our teams work cleanly, communicate daily, and complete to an agreed snagging list. Local clients trust us because we deliver consistent finishes, keep sites safe and offer maintenance contracts to protect your investment.
We’re used to Catford access challenges, including narrow drives, controlled parking and timed deliveries near SE6 high streets. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage, compaction and levels before laying paving or turf. For works in the London Borough of Lewisham, we plan waste removal, traffic management where needed, and sensible planting choices for urban exposure. That means fewer delays and a cleaner handover.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and how much hard landscaping is included. As a guide in Catford, front garden landscaping often starts around £1,500–£4,000 per plot, while rear gardens are commonly £3,000–£12,000 depending on paving, turf and planting. Driveways typically range from £4,000–£15,000+. Communal areas and street planting are priced by scope, access and programme.
Timescales depend on the number of plots, weather, access and whether groundwork is complete. A single front garden can take 1–3 days, while a rear garden with paving, turf and planting is often 1–2 weeks. Driveways may take 1–2 weeks including sub-base and edging. For multi-plot schemes, we phase works around handovers and trades to keep the programme moving.
Many garden and driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage, materials and boundary heights. For example, new or widened driveways may need permeable surfacing or suitable runoff solutions, and some walls/fences have height limits. If your property is affected by specific restrictions or conditions, we’ll flag it early. We can advise on what’s likely required before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging and constructed features, provided they’re used and maintained correctly. This covers issues arising from installation defects, such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation. Planting and turf are living materials, so coverage depends on season and aftercare; we’ll set clear expectations and offer maintenance to protect establishment.
We tailor designs to the scheme’s style and budget, from contemporary to traditional. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, permeable block paving driveways, resin-bound surfacing, timber or composite fencing, brick walls and metal railings. Planting can range from low-maintenance evergreen structure to pollinator-friendly mixes for communal areas. We guide you on durability, slip resistance, drainage and long-term maintenance before you commit.
