Herne Hill buyers expect outdoor spaces that feel established from day one, especially around Brockwell Park and the SE24 streets leading to Herne Hill station. Fine Landscaping supports developers and homeowners with complete external works, from show home gardens to communal areas and street planting. We coordinate hard landscaping and planting so the whole scheme reads as one coherent place. The result is stronger kerb appeal, clearer wayfinding and outdoor spaces people actually use.
Local plots often sit alongside Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, so new landscaping needs to respect scale and detail. In nearby Dulwich, Brixton and Tulse Hill, we’re frequently asked to soften modern materials with layered planting and traditional boundary treatments. We design front gardens that look smart year-round, and rear gardens that suit family living without feeling over-designed. For multi-unit sites, we plan communal areas to be durable, easy to maintain and attractive in every season.
Our process is straightforward: site survey, concept and materials palette, then a phased programme aligned to your build schedule. We keep access routes clear, protect finished surfaces and provide snagging and handover packs for sales teams or managing agents. Every project is built to last, with clear specifications and consistent workmanship across plots. Many clients choose us because we’re only 15 minutes away and can respond quickly when deadlines tighten.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark means factoring in controlled parking, tighter access and neighbour-sensitive working hours. Many SE24 sites have compact frontages and basement levels, so we plan drainage falls, levels and material handling carefully. We also select plants that cope with urban heat, shade from mature street trees and variable soils. Our team schedules deliveries and waste collections to minimise disruption on residential roads.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and how much hard landscaping is required. As a guide, front garden makeovers often start from £2,500–£6,000 per plot, while rear gardens commonly range £6,000–£20,000+. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per square metre and can run from £80–£250/m² depending on paving, lighting, irrigation and planting density. We provide itemised budgets and value-engineering options.
Timescales depend on access, weather and how works are phased around other trades. A typical front garden and driveway can take 3–7 working days, while a rear garden with paving, turf and planting is often 1–3 weeks. Communal areas may run 2–8+ weeks depending on levels, drainage and the number of units. We agree a programme early and keep it flexible for build-stage changes.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, but certain elements can trigger rules—particularly new or widened driveways, changes to boundary heights, works near highways, and drainage to the public sewer. Permeable surfacing and correct run-off management are often required. If your site is in a conservation area or has planning conditions, details may be tighter. We review drawings and constraints, then advise what approvals or permissions are needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship issues such as failed joints, unstable edging, or settlement caused by incorrect sub-base construction. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently; we offer a clear establishment period and practical aftercare guidance to maximise success. Any manufacturer warranties on paving, fencing or lighting are passed on. Snagging is included, with a prompt local response.
We tailor designs to your architecture and target buyer. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone paving, clay pavers for period-sensitive schemes, resin-bound or permeable block driveways, and timber or composite decking. Boundary treatments range from brick piers and railings to contemporary slatted fencing, with hedging for softer lines. Planting can be low-maintenance evergreens, pollinator-friendly mixes, or structured courtyard palettes. We provide samples, visuals and a specification that’s easy to tender and maintain.
