Fine Landscaping supports developers and housing providers across SW16 with complete external works packages. We create show home gardens that photograph beautifully, plus practical front and rear gardens buyers can maintain. Communal areas, boundary treatments and street planting are planned to look established quickly and perform year-round. We regularly work near Pollards Hill Library and Pollards Hill Recreation Ground, so logistics and access are familiar.
Pollards Hill has a mix of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, which often means varied plot sizes and levels across a single scheme. We design layouts that suit compact front gardens, shared paths and wider rear spaces without wasting usable area. Materials are chosen to complement local streetscapes around Norbury, Mitcham and Streatham Vale. The result is consistent kerb appeal across the development, not a patchwork of finishes.
Our process starts with a clear scope, drawings and samples, then a phased programme that aligns with handover dates. We manage groundworks, drainage falls, soil improvement and planting schedules so each plot is ready when your build team needs it. Every site gets a dedicated supervisor and tidy, safety-conscious working practices. Homeowners and developers trust us for transparent reporting, reliable aftercare and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Working in the London Borough of Merton, we plan around local parking constraints, narrow access points and staged site deliveries. Pollards Hill plots can have compact frontages, so we design practical bin/bike spaces and clear paths without clutter. We also account for typical clay-heavy soils by improving structure and drainage before laying turf or planting. If works sit near adopted highways or verges, we coordinate specifications for street planting and reinstatement.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and programme. As a guide, basic front-and-rear plot landscaping (turf/planting, simple pathing and edging) often starts from £2,500–£6,000 per plot. Higher-end packages with paving, lighting, fencing, driveways and mature planting can be £8,000–£20,000+ per plot. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per m² and by plant schedule after a site survey.
Timescales depend on plot numbers, access, weather and whether groundworks are complete. A single plot can take 3–7 working days for turfing, planting, fencing and small paving, while a driveway or larger patio can add 2–5 days. Multi-plot schemes are typically phased over several weeks to match build completion. Lead times for bespoke gates, specialist paving or mature trees can also affect the programme.
Many garden and external works are permitted, but new developments can have planning conditions that control boundary heights, materials, lighting, tree planting and surface water drainage. Driveways may need permeable construction or drainage to a suitable soakaway rather than the highway. We review drawings, conditions and any S278/S38 requirements where relevant, then advise what needs approval. If permissions are needed, we can supply specifications and supporting details.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and structural integrity for items such as paving, retaining edges and properly constructed driveways. Planting and turf are living materials, so they’re covered separately through an agreed establishment period, provided watering and maintenance guidance is followed. We also offer maintenance contracts to protect the finish and keep communal areas looking sharp. Any snagging is logged and resolved promptly.
Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, permeable block paving driveways, contemporary slatted screens, closeboard fencing, and low brick or rendered boundary walls to match the build. For planting, we often use robust evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus street trees suited to urban conditions. We can design show home gardens with lighting and built-in seating, then simplify for standard plots. Samples and mock-ups help you choose consistent finishes across the site.
