Greenwich gardens often need to look polished with minimal time spent on weeding and mowing. We create practical, stylish spaces that suit everything from family terraces near Greenwich Park to compact courtyards around Maze Hill. Expect clean lines, durable materials and planting that holds its shape through the seasons. The result is a garden you can enjoy, not manage.
Across the SE10 postcode you’ll find Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments, each with different constraints and opportunities. Period homes often benefit from discreet gravel areas, evergreen structure and container planting that complements brickwork and iron railings. Newer properties typically suit composite decking, artificial grass and streamlined hard landscaping for entertaining. We design around light levels, privacy and how you actually use the space.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a fixed-scope plan so there are no surprises. Our team handles ground preparation properly—weed membrane, stable sub-bases and tidy edging—so the finish lasts. Automated irrigation can be added to keep planting healthy with minimal input. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a garden that stays low-effort long after handover.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich includes varied ground conditions, from heavier clay pockets to made-up soils near newer developments, so we tailor drainage and sub-base build-ups accordingly. Access can be tight around Blackheath and Deptford, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to keep disruption down. We also design with local property character in mind, balancing heritage looks with modern, durable materials. Where council guidance affects boundary heights or drainage, we flag it early and keep the job compliant.

Timescales are affected by access, skip permits, curing times for concrete bases, and weather. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting.
