Fine Landscaping supports developers and homeowners with high-spec external works across SE12, from the Lee Green crossroads to the routes around Lee station. We build show home gardens that photograph well and stand up to viewings, plus front and rear gardens that are easy to maintain. Communal areas, street planting and boundary treatments are delivered to a clear programme with clean, safe sites. If you need a reliable team for handover-ready landscaping, we can help.
Lee Green’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often comes with narrow side access, split levels and compact frontages. We design layouts that maximise usable space while keeping drainage, storage and bin access sensible. For new housing schemes near Leegate Shopping Centre or bordering Hither Green and Grove Park, we balance kerb appeal with durability. Planting is chosen for year-round structure and straightforward upkeep.
Our process starts with a site visit, drawings review and a practical build plan covering levels, materials and logistics. You’ll get clear specifications for front gardens, rear gardens, driveways and communal spaces, with quality checks at each stage. We coordinate deliveries, keep neighbours informed where required, and leave sites clean for snagging and handover. Many clients choose our maintenance contracts to protect the finish and keep planting thriving.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham means factoring in controlled parking, peak-time traffic and tight access on residential streets. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and compaction before laying turf, paving or driveways. We also plan for bin routes, pram access and sightlines at entrances—important around busier points like the Lee Green crossroads. This local approach helps keep programmes on track and finishes consistent.

Costs vary by specification, access and how many plots or communal areas are included. As a guide, front garden makeovers often start from £1,500–£4,000 per plot, while rear gardens commonly range £3,000–£12,000 depending on paving, turf and fencing. Driveways are typically £90–£160 per m² installed, and communal planting/soft landscaping is priced by area and plant schedule. We provide itemised estimates.
Timescales depend on plot numbers, weather, access and whether groundwork and drainage are needed. A single front-and-rear garden package is often completed in 3–7 working days, while show home gardens can take 1–2 weeks due to detailing and planting. Communal areas and street planting are usually phased alongside build milestones. We create a programme that aligns with handover dates and allows for snagging.
Many garden and landscaping works are permitted development, but there are key exceptions. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or suitable drainage to avoid planning issues, and boundary treatments can be restricted in height near highways. For developments, planning conditions may also specify materials, tree protection and planting schedules. We review drawings and conditions, and can advise on compliance before work starts.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering issues linked to installation such as sub-base failure, movement and poor laying (subject to correct use and maintenance). Soft landscaping is supported with practical aftercare guidance and a defects period where agreed, as plants are influenced by weather and watering. We also offer maintenance contracts to protect lawns, beds and communal planting long-term.
We tailor specifications to the development brief and buyer expectations. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone patios, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, timber or composite decking, and contemporary slatted or closeboard fencing for boundary treatments. For planting, we often use structured evergreens, seasonal perennials and low-maintenance shrubs suited to urban gardens. We’ll help you choose finishes that meet budgets, look consistent across plots, and perform well over time.
