Fine Landscaping supports developers across Orpington with landscaping that photographs well, wears well and meets programme deadlines. We’re regularly working near Orpington station and around BR5 and BR6, delivering everything from front garden kerb appeal to complete rear garden builds. Whether you need a standout show home garden or consistent plots across an estate, we keep finishes uniform and snagging minimal. Our teams coordinate closely with site management for safe, clean working areas.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached family homes and modern estates means buyers expect practical gardens with strong year-round structure. In places such as Petts Wood and St Mary Cray, we often see demand for low-maintenance planting, durable paving and smart boundary treatments. Front gardens need to look crisp without adding ongoing cost, while rear gardens must be usable for families and pets. We design layouts that suit plot sizes, levels and access constraints typical of Bromley developments.
We start with a clear scope and drawings, then schedule groundwork, drainage, surfaces and planting in the right sequence. Each plot is signed off against a snag list, with consistent detailing across kerbs, edgings and turf lines. We use proven suppliers, specify materials that match the development’s palette, and keep communication straightforward from start to handover. Maintenance contracts are available to protect presentation through sales phases and after occupation.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, ground conditions can vary from heavier clay to freer-draining pockets, so we plan drainage and soil improvement accordingly. Access and parking around the High Street and near The Walnuts Shopping Centre can be tight, so deliveries and waste removal are scheduled to reduce disruption. We’re used to working on family-focused schemes where safe footpaths, clear sightlines and robust planting matter. Our method statements and tidy site practices help keep projects moving.

Costs depend on plot size, specification and how many plots are repeated. As a guide, a basic front and rear plot package (turf, simple paving, fencing) often starts from £3,000–£7,000 per plot. Higher-spec plots with driveways, lighting, raised planters and premium paving can be £8,000–£20,000+. Show home gardens and communal areas are priced separately after a measured survey and specification review.
A single plot can take 3–10 working days depending on groundwork, levels, drainage and curing times for concrete and paving. Show home gardens may take 2–4 weeks if they include bespoke carpentry, planting schemes and multiple surface types. Communal areas are usually phased to suit handover dates and access. Weather, material lead times, and coordination with other trades (utilities, brickwork, rendering) are the main factors.
Many garden works are permitted development, but some elements can trigger rules—especially new or altered driveways, drainage to the highway, boundary heights, and works near trees or conservation areas. In Bromley, permeable surfacing and correct runoff management are often key for driveways. We review drawings, check constraints and advise what’s likely to need approval. Where required, we can supply specifications and layouts to support applications and discharge conditions.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving installation, sub-bases, edging, steps and retaining details, subject to correct use and maintenance. Soft landscaping (turf and planting) is covered for an agreed establishment period, with options for replacement and aftercare visits. We also pass on relevant manufacturer warranties for products where applicable. Clear handover notes help reduce snagging and protect the finish.
For Orpington schemes, popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, closeboard fencing with concrete posts, and mixed native/ornamental planting for year-round structure. Street planting often favours resilient trees and low-maintenance shrub beds with mulch. We tailor palettes to the development’s architecture—whether 1930s-inspired or contemporary—and provide sample boards, drainage details and maintenance notes so decisions are quick and consistent across plots.
