Woolwich is changing fast, from the Royal Arsenal to new streets near Woolwich Town Centre, and landscaping needs to keep pace. Fine Landscaping supports developers, housing associations and homeowners with complete external works that make schemes feel finished. From street planting to front and rear gardens, we create a consistent look across plots and shared spaces. We also plan for practicalities like resident access, bin routes and safe, durable surfaces.
The SE18 mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments calls for flexible design and build. We can soften hard architecture with layered planting, create privacy in compact courtyards, and deliver contemporary paving that suits new-build façades. For family houses in Plumstead and Charlton, we often balance usable lawns with low-maintenance borders and smart driveways. Around riverside blocks, we specify wind-tolerant planting and robust edging to keep communal areas crisp year-round.
Our process starts with a site visit, programme alignment and clear specifications for each plot and shared area. We provide detailed proposals, phased installation to match build schedules, and handover packs for residents or managing agents. Every project is quality-checked, with tidy working practices and reliable communication throughout. Homeowners and site teams choose us for consistent finishes, accountable aftercare, and maintenance contracts that protect the investment.
We’re used to working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, including SE18 sites near the Woolwich Ferry and the Arsenal. Access can be tight on active developments, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. Local ground conditions vary from made ground on regeneration plots to heavier clay in established streets, so we adjust drainage, soil improvement and planting choices accordingly. We also coordinate with managing agents and council requirements for street trees and communal areas.

Costs vary by plot count, specification and access. As a guide, front gardens often start around £1,500–£4,000 per plot, rear gardens £3,000–£10,000+, and driveways £4,000–£12,000 depending on sub-base and surfacing. Communal areas and street planting are typically priced from £8,000 to £50,000+ based on size, planting density and furniture. We provide itemised schedules so you can value-engineer without losing quality.
Timescales depend on phasing, weather and site readiness. A single plot front and rear garden is commonly 3–7 working days, while driveway installation can add 2–5 days depending on excavation and curing. Communal areas may take 2–6 weeks, especially where drainage, lighting ducts or retaining work is involved. We agree a programme with your build team and can work in batches to match completions and show home deadlines.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage. If the new or replacement driveway is over 5m², it usually needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within the property rather than the highway. Boundary walls, railings and works near highways or trees can also have restrictions. We check the site constraints, advise on compliant materials and can support any applications if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, retaining features and driveway sub-bases, subject to correct use and ground conditions. Planting is covered through an agreed establishment period, with clear aftercare guidance and optional maintenance contracts to keep it thriving. If an issue arises, we inspect promptly and put it right where it falls within the warranty terms. All details are confirmed in writing before work starts.
For modern schemes, porcelain paving, resin-bound surfacing and clean-lined kerbs are popular, while Victorian-style frontages often suit clay pavers, Yorkstone tones and traditional railings. For boundaries we install closeboard fencing, slatted screens, brick piers and acoustic panels where required. Planting commonly includes evergreen structure, pollinator-friendly perennials and wind-tolerant shrubs for exposed plots. We tailor palettes to light levels, maintenance expectations and the architecture, then provide a clear specification for consistent delivery.
