From West Dulwich station to Belair Park, developments in SE21 need landscaping that looks established from day one. Fine Landscaping creates show home gardens, communal areas and complete plots that photograph well and perform in real life. We plan planting, paving and boundaries to suit the leafy character and long-term maintenance. The result is a cohesive external finish across the whole site.
West Dulwich is known for Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, so new developments often sit beside mature gardens and tree-lined streets. Our designs respect neighbouring sightlines and scale, while keeping layouts practical for modern living. Whether you’re finishing a small infill scheme near Dulwich Village or a larger block edging Herne Hill, we tailor materials and planting to match local expectations. We also factor in access constraints typical of residential roads.
You’ll get a clear scope, phased programme and a dedicated site lead who coordinates with your build team. We handle ground preparation, levels and drainage details before installing hard landscaping, planting and final dressings. Every project is quality-checked against agreed specifications, with tidy handovers and snagging support. Many clients choose us because we’re 15 minutes away and stay responsive throughout delivery and aftercare.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth, we plan for common constraints such as limited on-street parking, narrow access and strict working hours. Soil conditions can vary, so we test and improve ground before planting for reliable establishment. Near Dulwich Wood and Thurlow Park, we also consider shade, leaf drop and root zones when specifying trees and shrubs. This local approach keeps finishes looking sharp long after practical completion.

Costs vary by plot numbers, levels, access and specification. As a guide, front garden and driveway packages often start from £4,000–£12,000 per plot, while rear gardens typically range £6,000–£20,000 depending on paving, turf and fencing. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per square metre and can run from £60–£180/m². We provide itemised estimates and value-engineering options.
Timescales depend on phasing, weather, ground conditions and how ready the site is for external works. A single plot front-and-rear package commonly takes 1–3 weeks, while multi-plot schemes can run 6–16 weeks across phases. Show home gardens are often prioritised and can be delivered in 5–10 working days once levels and services are confirmed. We programme around your build milestones to avoid delays.
Most garden landscaping, fencing and paving is permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or drainage to comply with SUDS rules, and boundary heights can be restricted near highways. Tree works may be affected by TPOs or conservation considerations. We review drawings, check constraints and advise what approvals are needed before installation starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for qualifying hard landscaping installations, including paving build-ups, edging, retaining details and constructed boundaries, subject to correct use and maintenance. Planting is supplied with an establishment period and clear care guidance; replacement terms depend on seasonality and irrigation provision. Any snagging issues are logged and resolved promptly. Warranty details are confirmed in your contract pack.
We tailor specifications to your target market and local character. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, resin-bound or block-paved driveways, brick-on-edge detailing, timber or composite decking, and robust boundary treatments such as closeboard fencing, brick piers and metal railings. Planting schemes often mix evergreen structure with seasonal colour and street trees where suitable. We provide samples, mood boards and maintenance-led options for communal areas.
