If your garden needs a full rethink, Fine Landscaping delivers end-to-end landscaping tailored to Lewisham homes. We work across SE13 and nearby streets around Lewisham station, where access and parking can shape the build plan. Whether you want a cleaner layout, better drainage, or a more usable patio, we combine hard and soft landscaping for a cohesive result. Expect clear timelines, tidy working practices, and finishes that look right from day one.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments means no two gardens are the same. We regularly design around narrow side access, shared boundaries and long, linear plots common in Ladywell and Hither Green. For newer schemes, we create structure with paving, planters and smart lighting to add maturity quickly. Our designs balance privacy, practicality and year-round colour without overcomplicating the space.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss how you use the garden, and assess levels and drainage. You’ll receive a detailed plan and itemised specification covering materials, build stages and aftercare, so there are no surprises. Our team handles garden clearance, level changes, retaining structures and planting, with careful protection of paths and neighbouring boundaries. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham often sit on variable London clay, so we prioritise drainage, sub-bases and correct falls. Near Mountsfield Park and the River Ravensbourne, we pay close attention to water run-off and soil conditioning for healthy planting. Many streets have restricted parking and tight access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. The result is a build that suits local conditions and typical plot layouts.

Most projects in Lewisham fall within £100–£250 per square metre, depending on the materials and build complexity. A smaller refresh with clearance, new turf and simple paving might start around £5,000–£10,000. Larger transformations with level changes, retaining structures, premium paving, lighting and mature planting commonly sit between £15,000 and £30,000. We provide an itemised estimate after a site visit.
Typical landscaping takes 1–4 weeks once the design and materials are agreed. Straightforward clearance, paving and planting can be completed in 1–2 weeks, while projects involving level changes, retaining walls, drainage upgrades or multiple zones usually take 3–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, curing time for bases and mortar, weather, and lead times for specialist materials or bespoke features.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, especially like-for-like patios, paths, lawns and planting. However, rules can apply to major level changes, tall retaining walls, boundary treatments, works affecting drainage, and properties in conservation areas or with listed status (common in parts of Blackheath). We’ll flag likely permissions early, advise on compliant design choices, and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and structural integrity for items such as paving build-ups, edging, retaining structures and steps when installed to our specification. Soft landscaping (plants and turf) is covered differently because establishment depends on weather and aftercare, but we give clear maintenance guidance and can offer follow-up visits. Any snagging issues are addressed promptly within agreed timeframes.
We tailor designs to your home and how you use the space, from family-friendly lawns to low-maintenance courtyards. Popular hard landscaping options include porcelain paving, sandstone, granite setts, brick edging, and composite or timber decking. For soft landscaping, we specify turf or meadow areas, evergreen structure, seasonal planting, and raised beds. We bring samples, explain pros and cons, and help you choose finishes that suit budget and upkeep.
