Richmond’s streetscape sets a high bar, from Richmond Green to the approaches near Richmond Bridge. We create complete external packages for new and refurbished housing schemes, including show home gardens, front and rear plots, and welcoming communal areas. Our team coordinates hard landscaping, planting, and boundary treatments so every plot feels consistent. The result is a development that photographs beautifully and performs in real use.
Local projects often sit alongside Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and sought-after riverside properties, so detailing matters. In Kew, Ham and Petersham, we regularly work with tighter access, mature trees and established garden character. We design layouts that complement period architecture while meeting modern expectations for parking, storage and low-maintenance planting. If you’re upgrading multiple plots, we also standardise specifications to keep quality consistent.
We start with a site visit, levels check and practical design that considers drainage, bin routes and footfall. You’ll get clear specifications, phased programming to match build schedules, and tidy handover packs for occupants or managing agents. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury and typically reaches Richmond in around 40 minutes, keeping communication and aftercare straightforward. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, with maintenance contracts available to protect the finish.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we plan for tree protection zones, conservation sensitivities and strict waste management on site. Richmond’s clay soils and riverside conditions can affect drainage, so we specify permeable sub-bases and robust planting where needed. Parking and access can be limited around TW9 and TW10, so we schedule deliveries and manage materials to minimise disruption. Our designs suit period façades while meeting practical requirements for modern living.

Costs vary by plot size, levels, access and specification. As a guide in Richmond, front garden and driveway packages often start from £4,000–£12,000 per plot, while full front-and-rear landscaping with patios, turf and planting commonly ranges £12,000–£35,000+. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per square metre and scope, from £80–£250/m² depending on build-up and planting density.
Timescales depend on the number of plots, weather, curing time and how your build programme is phased. A single front garden and driveway may take 1–2 weeks, while a full plot (front, rear, fencing and planting) typically takes 2–4 weeks. Communal areas can run 2–8+ weeks depending on groundwork and planting seasons. We can phase works to match handovers and minimise rework.
Many garden and driveway works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions in Richmond, especially near conservation areas or where new access, walls, railings or significant level changes are proposed. Permeable surfacing is often required for front driveways to manage runoff. We review your plans, check constraints and advise if an application, tree consent or highways approval is likely. We also work to relevant SuDS guidance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our landscaping workmanship, covering installation defects in areas such as paving build-ups, edging, retaining elements and constructed features when used as intended. Planting is living material, so it’s covered separately based on season, aftercare and watering, and we’ll advise on realistic establishment expectations. Maintenance contracts are available to protect finishes and keep communal areas looking sharp year-round.
Richmond clients often choose porcelain or sandstone paving, resin-bound or permeable block driveways, and timber or composite screening for privacy. For boundaries, we install closeboard fencing, brick piers, railings and hedging to suit period streets. Planting schemes typically mix evergreen structure with seasonal interest, plus rain-garden style beds where drainage is key. We help you select options that match architecture, budget and long-term maintenance needs.
