Fine Landscaping delivers housing development landscaping that elevates kerb appeal, improves liveability and supports sales. From show home gardens to communal areas and street planting, we create cohesive schemes that look impressive from day one. We regularly work around Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road, coordinating access and deliveries with minimal disruption. Projects can include front and rear gardens, driveways, boundary treatments and ongoing maintenance contracts.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with tight side access, level changes and compact plots. We design layouts that maximise usable space while keeping planting practical for residents and managing agents. Whether you’re upgrading a small infill site or a larger block with shared grounds, we specify finishes that suit the local streetscape. Our team is based just 10 minutes away, so site visits and snagging are quick to arrange.
We start with a site survey, drainage and levels check, then produce a clear scope, programme and specification. Installation is managed by an experienced foreman, with quality checks at key stages for paving, turfing, fencing and planting. You’ll receive handover notes and a maintenance plan, plus optional scheduled visits to keep communal areas looking sharp. Clients choose us for reliable timelines, tidy sites and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means factoring in parking controls, delivery windows and busy roads near Streatham Hill Theatre and Telford Park. Many plots have clay-heavy soils and mature tree roots, so we adjust planting choices, soil improvement and excavation methods accordingly. For mansion conversions and terrace streets, we plan materials and waste removal to suit restricted access. This local approach keeps programmes realistic and finishes consistent across the development.

Costs vary by plot size, access and specification. As a guide, front garden makeovers often start from £2,500–£6,000, while rear gardens are commonly £6,000–£20,000+ depending on paving, turf and fencing. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per m² and by planting density, often £35–£120 per m². Driveways typically range from £90–£160 per m², plus drainage where required.
Timescales depend on the number of plots, weather, access and the amount of groundwork. A single front garden can take 2–5 days, while a rear garden with paving, turf and boundaries is often 1–3 weeks. Communal areas may run 2–8 weeks, especially if drainage, levels and lighting ducts are involved. We provide a phased programme so show homes and key plots can be completed first.
Many landscaping works are permitted development, such as planting, patios and like-for-like boundary repairs, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need compliant drainage (e.g., permeable surfacing or soakaways) and some boundary heights can be restricted, especially facing highways. Conservation areas and conditions attached to planning approvals can also apply. We review drawings, check constraints and advise before work starts to keep the project compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping, such as paving, steps, edging and built structures, subject to correct use and normal ground conditions. Planting is covered by an establishment period, with clear guidance on watering and care. If a defect arises from installation, we’ll inspect and put it right. For developments, we can also agree a snagging window and scheduled maintenance visits after handover.
We tailor schemes to the architecture and buyer profile, from crisp contemporary courtyards to softer, period-appropriate planting. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone paving, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, timber or composite decking, and robust boundary treatments like closeboard fencing, brick piers or metal railings. For planting, we often use evergreen structure, ornamental grasses and pollinator-friendly perennials. We’ll present samples and a palette that suits budgets, maintenance needs and the site’s light levels.
