Fine Landscaping provides a full contractor service for homeowners in SE11, covering garden design, hard landscaping and soft landscaping. Whether you’re updating a rear courtyard near The Oval cricket ground or improving a front garden close to Oval tube station, we plan every detail. Expect crisp levels, tidy edges and materials chosen for longevity. We can also add fencing, water features and planting schemes to complete the space.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with compact plots, shared boundaries and mature trees. We’re used to working with narrow side returns, basement lightwells and raised patios where drainage and retaining details matter. If you’re in Kennington or Vauxhall, we can design layouts that maximise usable space without sacrificing greenery. Our planting plans suit both sunny courtyards and shaded gardens typical of terrace rows.
We start with a site survey, then produce a clear design and specification with phased options to suit your budget. Our team manages groundworks, drainage, paving, fencing and planting in a coordinated schedule, keeping disruption down. You’ll get transparent reporting, tidy working practices and a written 10-year warranty on workmanship. Local clients recommend us for reliable timelines and finishes that stay sharp year after year.
As landscaper contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we plan for controlled parking, delivery slots and limited access common around SE11 streets. Clay-heavy subsoils and mature tree roots can affect levels and drainage, so we specify the right sub-bases and permeable options where needed. For Georgian and Victorian properties, we match detailing to period character while upgrading performance. We also factor in noise and neighbour considerations for terrace gardens and mansion flat blocks.

Costs vary by access, ground conditions and specification. As a guide in Oval, small courtyard makeovers often start around £3,000–£8,000, while new patios typically range £120–£220 per m² depending on paving. Driveways are commonly £90–£180 per m², with extra for drainage channels and edging. Full garden redesigns with planting schemes, fencing and lighting frequently fall between £12,000–£40,000+.
Timescales depend on scope and site constraints. A straightforward patio or small hard landscaping job can take 3–7 working days, while a driveway is often 1–2 weeks including excavation and curing time. Full garden transformations with levels, fencing, planting and water features typically run 3–8 weeks. Access via narrow passages, skip permits, weather, and lead times for bespoke materials can extend the programme.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, including patios, fencing within height limits, and most planting schemes. Driveways can be permitted too, but rules around surface water are important; non-permeable paving over a certain area may require a permeable solution or drainage to a soakaway. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, extra controls can apply. We check requirements and design to comply before work starts.
We provide a written 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues arising from installation defects such as unstable sub-bases, poor levels, or jointing failures. Materials are covered by their manufacturers’ guarantees where applicable, and we’ll advise on expected lifespans and care. Planting is living material, so coverage depends on season and maintenance, but we specify robust plants and offer aftercare guidance.
We tailor designs to your property style and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone for a softer period feel, and granite setts for edges or driveway detailing. For fencing, we install contemporary slatted screens, closeboard panels, or trellis-topped boundaries. Planting schemes can be architectural and low-maintenance or lush and wildlife-friendly, and water features range from rills to self-contained fountains. We bring samples and visual layouts to help you decide.
