Fine Landscaping supports developers and homeowners with housing development landscaping across SW9, from first dig to final snag. We regularly work near Stockwell tube station and around Stockwell Park, where access, footfall and visibility demand a clean, durable finish. Whether you need a standout show home garden or practical front and rear gardens for multiple plots, we plan every detail for consistent results. Expect clear programmes, safe site working and a handover pack that’s easy to maintain.
Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates means outdoor spaces vary widely in size and levels. We design front gardens that suit period streetscapes, and rear gardens that maximise usable space for families and renters. For apartment-led schemes, we create communal areas that feel welcoming year-round, with planting that copes with shade and urban heat. Our housing development landscaping Stockwell area service also includes driveways, boundary treatments and street planting to tie the whole site together.
We start with a site survey, drainage and levels check, then produce a practical design and specification aligned to your budget and programme. Installation is managed by experienced landscapers, with quality checks at each stage and tidy, well-documented snagging. You’ll get a clear maintenance plan, plus optional maintenance contracts for communal areas and show home presentation. Clients choose us for reliable scheduling, premium materials and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth often means tight access, controlled parking and busy pedestrian routes, especially near Brixton and Oval. We plan deliveries, waste removal and site protection to keep neighbours and residents onside. Stockwell’s clay-heavy soils and compacted ground on some estates can affect drainage and planting success, so we specify the right soil improvement and hardy species. Where plots are small, we use space-saving layouts and clean boundary lines to make gardens feel larger.

Costs vary by plot count, access and specification. As a guide, front or rear plot gardens often start from £3,000–£8,000 each for paving, turf and planting, while premium show home gardens can run £10,000–£25,000+. Communal landscaping typically ranges from £15,000–£60,000+ depending on size, lighting, street planting and drainage. We provide an itemised quote and value-engineering options.
Timescales depend on the number of plots, ground conditions and whether we’re working around other trades. A single front garden might take 2–4 days, while a full front-and-rear plot garden is commonly 1–2 weeks including paving, turfing and planting. Show home gardens are usually 1–3 weeks, depending on detailing. Communal areas can take 3–8+ weeks, especially if drainage, retaining or street works are required.
Many garden and landscaping works are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage, dropped kerbs and materials. If you’re changing levels, adding retaining walls, altering boundaries, or working near highways for street planting, approvals may be needed. We check Lambeth guidance, recommend permeable surfaces where appropriate, and help you confirm requirements before work starts. For larger schemes, we can align with planning conditions and landscape plans.
Our installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on core hard landscaping elements such as sub-bases, paving installation and structural build items, subject to correct use and maintenance. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we pass on where applicable. Planting is living material, so it’s covered under a separate establishment period with clear care guidance. We also offer maintenance contracts to protect quality long after handover.
For Stockwell schemes, popular choices include porcelain patios for show homes, sandstone or concrete paving for robust plots, and permeable block paving for driveways. Boundary treatments often combine timber fencing with brick piers, metal railings or acoustic panels where needed. Planting palettes typically use hardy evergreens, ornamental grasses and seasonal colour for kerb appeal. We help you choose finishes that match the architecture, meet maintenance expectations and stay within programme and budget.
