From Elmers End station to South Norwood Country Park, new and established developments need landscaping that looks sharp on day one and matures well. Fine Landscaping supports housing sites across BR3 with show home gardens, front and rear gardens, and smart street planting. We coordinate with site managers to keep plots moving and communal areas safe and presentable. The result is an outdoor finish that helps sales and reduces snagging.
Elmers End’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis influences how new plots and infill schemes should sit within the streetscape. We match materials, levels and planting palettes so new front gardens and boundary treatments feel consistent with neighbouring properties in Beckenham and South Norwood. Where space is tight, we design practical layouts for bins, bikes and parking without losing kerb appeal. For larger schemes, we plan durable communal areas that remain attractive year-round.
Our process starts with a site walkover, programme alignment and clear specifications for each plot and shared space. We handle groundworks, drainage considerations, planting, paving and final detailing, then provide maintenance contracts to protect the finished look. You’ll get transparent communication, photo updates where needed, and a clean, safe site approach. Homeowners and developers choose us for dependable scheduling and consistent workmanship from start to handover.
Working in the London Borough of Bromley means factoring in varied soil conditions, mature tree roots and tight access typical around BR3 streets. Near Croydon Tramlink routes and established roads, deliveries and parking need planning to avoid disruption. We design drainage and levels carefully to suit existing thresholds and prevent water pooling on driveways. Planting choices are selected for resilience and a tidy look in communal areas.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, front garden soft landscaping can start from £800–£2,500 per plot, while rear gardens with turf, planting and paving often range £3,000–£12,000+. Driveways commonly sit around £4,000–£15,000 depending on area and surface. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per m² with phased programmes.
Timescales depend on plot numbers, access, weather and whether groundworks are complete. A single plot front garden may take 1–2 days, while a rear garden with paving and turf is typically 3–7 days. Driveways often take 3–6 days including sub-base and edging. For multi-plot schemes, we work in phases and can align to handover dates, with snagging scheduled after settlement.
Many garden and landscaping works are permitted development, but there are key rules to check. New or enlarged driveways may require permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway, and some boundary treatments have height limits. Conservation areas and conditions on new-build permissions can add requirements. We review site drawings, planning conditions and drainage needs, then advise what’s compliant before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship on items such as paving, edging, retaining details and driveway construction (subject to correct use and maintenance). Soft landscaping is living material, so it’s covered differently; we specify plants carefully and can include an establishment period within a maintenance contract. Any snagging issues are logged and resolved promptly to support smooth handovers.
For driveways and paths, popular choices include permeable block paving, resin-bound gravel and porcelain or concrete paving for cleaner lines. Boundary treatments often combine closeboard fencing, brick piers, trellis and acoustic panels where appropriate. Planting schemes typically use tough evergreen structure with seasonal colour for show homes, plus low-maintenance shrubs and grasses for communal areas. We help you choose options that suit budgets, maintenance levels and the surrounding streetscape.
