New Cross developments need landscaping that performs from day one—especially around New Cross station and the busy SE14 streetscape. Fine Landscaping supports developers and homeowners with show home gardens, communal areas and smart boundary treatments that photograph well and wear well. We also handle street planting to soften new builds and improve kerb appeal. Expect a professional site presence and a tidy, phased handover.
The local mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats means access can be tight and layouts varied. In Deptford and Brockley, we often work with narrow front gardens, shared paths and compact rear spaces that still need strong structure. We design driveways, front gardens and rear gardens to suit real daily use, not just the brochure. Planting plans are chosen for year-round interest and resilience in urban conditions.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear scope for each plot or block. You’ll receive an itemised specification, programme and materials schedule, with quality control at every stage. We coordinate around other trades, protect finished surfaces and keep neighbours informed where required. Clients trust us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Working across the London Borough of Lewisham, we plan for restricted access, resident parking controls and tight delivery windows common around SE14. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and compacted sub-bases, so we check levels, drainage routes and soil quality before planting. Near Deptford Park and Telegraph Hill, we often factor in wind exposure and shade from tall buildings and mature trees. Our teams adapt logistics and build-ups to keep sites compliant and finishes consistent.

Costs vary by specification, access and how many plots are included. As a guide, front garden landscaping often starts around £1,500–£4,000 per plot, while rear gardens commonly range £3,000–£12,000 depending on paving, turf and planting. Communal areas can range from £10,000–£60,000+ based on size, drainage and lighting. We provide itemised budgets and value-engineering options to suit programme and sales targets.
Timescales depend on plot numbers, weather, curing times and coordination with other trades. A typical front garden and driveway might take 3–7 working days, while a rear garden is often 5–10 days if it includes paving and turf. Communal areas can run from 2–8+ weeks depending on levels, drainage and planting seasons. We can phase works to match completions and handovers.
Many garden and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can apply to new or altered vehicle crossovers, impermeable driveway surfaces, boundary heights, and properties in conservation areas. In the London Borough of Lewisham, you may also need approvals for street tree planting or works near highways. We’ll flag likely permissions early, recommend compliant permeable options, and help you gather the right details before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and structural integrity for items such as paving build-ups, retaining edges and properly installed boundary structures. Planting is covered separately because establishment depends on season, watering and site conditions, but we specify robust stock and can include aftercare visits. Any snagging identified at handover is logged and resolved promptly under our quality process.
For contemporary schemes, porcelain paving, resin-bound surfacing and clean brick edging are popular, while Victorian-style homes often suit clay pavers, Yorkstone tones and traditional railings. We also design low-maintenance planting with evergreen structure, ornamental grasses and pollinator-friendly perennials. For boundaries, options include timber slats, composite fencing and brick piers. We guide you through samples, drainage requirements and maintenance expectations to choose the right specification.
