Limestone brings a calm, premium look that suits Lewisham gardens, from compact courtyards to larger family patios. We install patios and paths designed for everyday use, with careful falls and drainage to keep surfaces safer in wet weather. Many of our clients are near Lewisham station or around Mountsfield Park and want a clean, modern finish that still feels natural. We’ll help you choose the right colour tone and layout for your outdoor space.
Homes across SE13 range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to newer developments, so patio design needs to be flexible. For period properties, limestone works beautifully with brickwork and traditional garden walls, especially in tumbled finishes. For modern builds, honed limestone and tighter joints create a more architectural look. If you’re in Ladywell, Hither Green, Lee or Blackheath, we’ll tailor the paving size and edging details to match the style of your property.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, clear written quote, then careful excavation and a properly compacted sub-base. We bed the stone accurately, cut clean edges, and finish with jointing chosen for durability and appearance. Sealing is available to help reduce staining and make routine cleaning easier. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for tidy working practices, clear communication, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access and parking can be tight on residential streets around Lewisham Shopping Centre and near the station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary, and we adjust sub-base depth and compaction to suit the site and intended use. We also consider drainage requirements and practical details like step heights and thresholds for Victorian terraces. If any council constraints apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the job moving.

For limestone paving in the Lewisham area, typical supply-and-install pricing is £90–£160 per square metre, depending on stone choice, finish, and site preparation. Most patio projects come in around £3,500–£8,000, influenced by access, excavation, waste removal, edging, and any drainage work. We’ll measure up, discuss design options, and provide a detailed quote based on your garden and specification.
Most limestone paving projects take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and average patio sizes. Timescales can extend if we’re removing old concrete, dealing with deeper dig-outs, installing drainage channels, or creating steps and retaining edges. Weather also plays a part, especially when preparing the base and jointing. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily as the work progresses.
In many cases, garden patios are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or affecting drainage. For front gardens and driveway-style paving, managing surface water correctly is important, and local requirements may apply. We’ll advise on best practice and, where needed, help you check any relevant guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham.
Yes. Our limestone paving installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty. It covers issues caused by installation faults, such as loose or rocking slabs, poor levels leading to persistent pooling, and failing edges or jointing where specified. Natural stone itself can vary in tone and markings, which is part of its character, but we grade and lay it carefully. We’ll also provide maintenance advice and sealing options.
We offer Blue Limestone, Grey Limestone and Cream Limestone, with popular finishes including tumbled (softer, aged edges) and honed (smoother, contemporary look). We can also advise on paving sizes, laying patterns, edging details, and step copings to suit your garden. Sealing is available to help with staining resistance and easier cleaning. We’ll bring samples and recommend options based on light levels, planting, and how you use the space.
