Brixton gardens often need smart planning to balance entertaining space, greenery and storage. Whether you’re near Brixton Market or walking distance from Windrush Square, we design and build outdoor spaces that suit how you live. Our landscaping covers everything from garden clearance and new turf to patios, paths and lighting-ready layouts. Expect a clean site, careful detailing and a finish that elevates your home.
The Brixton mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and modern developments means no two gardens are the same. We regularly work across SW2 and SW9, including Brixton Hill, Stockwell and Herne Hill, where access can be tight and boundaries are often shared. We tailor foundations, drainage and planting plans to the plot’s shape and sun patterns. The result is a garden that feels intentional, not pieced together.
We start with a site visit, clear brief and measured survey, then provide a detailed specification and schedule. Our team handles soft landscaping, hard landscaping, level changes and retaining structures as one coordinated build. We protect neighbouring areas, keep you updated, and finish with a handover that explains care and maintenance. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, premium materials and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means factoring in controlled parking, narrow access routes and shared alleyways common around terraces. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption, especially on busy streets near Electric Avenue and Brixton Academy. Ground conditions can vary from compacted sub-bases to made-up ground, so we prioritise proper excavation and substructure. Designs are adapted to smaller plots with clever zoning and storage.

Most projects in Brixton fall between £5,000 and £30,000 depending on size and complexity. As a guide, expect around £100–£250 per square metre for quality groundwork, paving, edging and planting. Costs rise with level changes, retaining structures, premium stone, bespoke joinery or extensive drainage. After a site visit, we provide an itemised quote so you can see where the budget goes.
Typical landscaping builds take 1–4 weeks once the design and materials are agreed. Smaller makeovers with clearance, turf and a simple patio can be completed faster, while full transformations with walls, steps, multiple zones and planting schemes take longer. Timescales are influenced by access, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for stone or timber. We give a realistic programme before work starts.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing and planting. However, rules can apply to significant level changes, retaining walls, boundary treatments, drainage connections, and works affecting listed buildings or conservation areas. For front gardens, permeable surfacing and water run-off requirements can also matter. We’ll flag likely permissions early, check constraints, and advise if you need Lambeth Council approval.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as patios, paths, edging, steps and retaining structures, when built to our specification. It covers issues arising from installation defects, not accidental damage, misuse or lack of maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products where relevant. We also carry out a practical completion check to ensure everything is finished correctly.
Brixton homeowners often choose porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone for a warmer character, and clay pavers that suit period terraces. For soft landscaping, we install turf or low-maintenance planting with evergreen structure and seasonal colour. Level changes can be handled with brick-faced retaining walls, rendered planters or sleeper-style solutions where appropriate. We guide you through samples, layouts and planting plans to match your home and lifestyle.
