Oval developments need landscaping that looks polished from day one and stands up to daily use. We create show home gardens, front and rear plots, driveways and boundary treatments that suit the streets around The Oval cricket ground and Oval tube station. Whether you’re completing a small infill scheme or upgrading shared spaces, we focus on clean lines, durable materials and planting that performs. Fine Landscaping manages the details that buyers notice first: thresholds, lighting-ready routes and tidy edges.
The Oval and nearby Kennington include Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats, often with compact plots and shared access. We design layouts that maximise usable space, improve privacy and keep maintenance realistic for residents and managing agents. In Vauxhall and Stockwell, we frequently work around basement lightwells, raised patios and tight side returns. Our housing development landscaping in London Borough of Lambeth is tailored to these period streetscapes and modern infill sites alike.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear scope for each plot and communal zone. You’ll receive a practical design, a programme that fits your build schedule, and transparent specifications for hard landscaping, planting and irrigation-ready infrastructure. Our teams work neatly, protect finished surfaces and hand over with a snagging list and care guidance. Clients choose us for consistent standards, clear communication and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Oval’s Zone 1/2 streets can mean restricted access, controlled parking and careful logistics for skips and deliveries. We plan loading, protect pavements and coordinate around neighbours to keep works moving. Soil can vary between made ground and compacted sub-bases on new builds, so we specify the right topsoil depths, drainage and root barriers. For housing development landscaping Oval area projects, we also align finishes with Lambeth expectations and local streetscape character.

Costs depend on plot size, access and specification. As a guide, front garden and entrance upgrades often start from £2,000–£6,000 per plot, while rear gardens with paving, turf and planting commonly fall between £6,000–£18,000. Driveways typically range from £4,000–£15,000 depending on surfacing and drainage. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced after a measured survey and schedule of works.
Timescales vary with the number of plots and the amount of hard landscaping. A single front or rear garden can take 3–10 working days, while a full plot with driveway, boundaries and planting is often 2–4 weeks. Communal courtyards and multi-plot phases may run 4–12 weeks. Weather, curing times, access restrictions near SE11 streets, and coordination with other trades can all affect the programme.
Many garden and driveway works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. In Lambeth you may need to consider permeable surfacing rules for front gardens, drainage to prevent runoff to the highway, and constraints on walls, railings or gates. Conservation areas and listed buildings near Kennington can add extra checks. We review the site, flag likely permissions, and can help you prepare details for any required applications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our installed hard landscaping, including paving construction, sub-bases, edging and retaining details, when built to our specification. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. Planting is living material, so we offer practical aftercare guidance and optional maintenance contracts to protect establishment. Any snagging items identified at handover are scheduled promptly and documented clearly.
For Oval schemes, clients often choose porcelain or sandstone paving, clay pavers to complement Georgian and Victorian façades, and resin-bound or block paving for driveways. Boundary treatments commonly include brick piers, timber slatted screens, metal railings and acoustic fencing where needed. Planting tends to favour evergreen structure with seasonal colour and low-maintenance grasses. We guide you through samples, drainage requirements and long-term upkeep before finalising the specification.
