Fine Landscaping delivers full-service landscaping for Balham homeowners, from initial garden design to the final planting. Whether you’re near Balham station or backing onto Tooting Bec Common, we build outdoor spaces that look sharp and work hard year-round. Our team handles hard landscaping, soft landscaping, fencing, patios, driveways and water features. Expect tidy working practices and a finish that complements your property.
Balham’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with long, narrow gardens and level changes that need careful planning. In areas like Nightingale and Clapham South, we regularly improve drainage, create practical entertaining zones and add privacy without blocking light. We design planting schemes that thrive in London conditions and still feel considered through every season. The result is a garden that fits the architecture and adds value.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear scope, then provide a detailed plan and itemised quote. You’ll get guidance on materials, maintenance and the best layout for how you use the space. Our builds are scheduled to minimise disruption, with regular updates and quality checks at key stages. Local homeowners choose us for reliable project management, skilled craftsmanship and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
As landscaper contractors in London Borough of Wandsworth, we plan around controlled parking, skip permits and tighter access on roads off Balham High Road and Bedford Hill. Many SW12 gardens have clay-heavy soil and compacted ground, so we prioritise drainage layers, correct sub-bases and soil improvement. For terraced homes, we design materials and levels to avoid damp risks and keep thresholds safe. We also consider neighbour boundaries and party wall sensitivities when installing fencing and raised beds.

Costs vary by access, levels and specification. In Balham, a small patio refresh might start around £2,000–£5,000, while a larger patio with new sub-base and drainage is often £6,000–£15,000. Driveways commonly range from £5,000–£20,000 depending on size and surfacing. Full garden redesigns with planting, fencing and lighting can be £12,000–£40,000+. We provide itemised quotes after a site visit.
Timescales depend on scope and access. A straightforward fence replacement can take 1–3 days, and a typical patio installation is often 1–2 weeks including groundworks. Driveways usually take 1–3 weeks depending on excavation and drainage. Full garden transformations with multiple trades and planting schemes commonly run 3–8 weeks. Weather, skip/parking arrangements and bespoke materials can extend lead times, so we agree a programme before starting.
Most garden landscaping, patios and fencing are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Driveways may need compliant permeable surfacing or suitable drainage to avoid planning issues, and front boundary walls/fences can be restricted by height rules. If your property is a mansion conversion or has special constraints, extra checks may apply. We review your plans against Wandsworth guidance and advise if permission, building control or party wall notices are needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues arising from installation defects such as unstable paving, failed jointing, or problems linked to incorrect sub-base construction. Materials are covered by the relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently, but we advise on aftercare and can supply maintenance plans. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
We offer a wide range of options to suit Balham’s period homes and modern lifestyles. Popular choices include porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, resin-bound driveways, timber or composite decking, and contemporary slatted fencing. For soft landscaping we design planting schemes with evergreens, grasses and pollinator-friendly perennials, plus lawns or low-water alternatives. Water features can be subtle rills or self-contained fountains. We help you choose based on light, maintenance level and budget.
