If your garden near the Lee Green crossroads is more chore than pleasure, we can simplify it without losing style. Fine Landscaping designs and builds practical, attractive spaces using durable surfaces, evergreen structure and smart planting. From SE12 family gardens to compact courtyards by Lee station, we create layouts that are easy to live with. Expect clean lines, robust materials and a finish that looks good in every month.
Lee Green has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, often with long rear gardens and side access that can be tight. We plan low-maintenance schemes that suit these proportions—zoned seating, clear paths and planting that won’t outgrow the space. For homes close to Manor House Gardens and the surrounding streets, we keep designs sympathetic to period features while modernising the usability. The result is a garden that feels considered, not “paved over”.
We start with a site visit to understand drainage, sun levels and how you want to use the space. You’ll receive a clear proposal, material samples and a tidy, well-managed build with minimal disruption. Our team handles everything from groundwork and hard landscaping to irrigation and container planting, with quality checks at each stage. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, neat workmanship and a finish that lasts.
In the low maintenance gardens in London Borough of Lewisham, we often see clay-heavy ground that needs careful drainage and solid sub-bases. Around SE12, access can be narrow and parking limited, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep things smooth. We also consider Lewisham Council requirements for drainage and boundary works where relevant. Our builds are tailored to Lee Green property layouts, from long terrace plots to wider 1930s gardens.

Costs vary by size, access and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, a small refresh with weed membrane, gravel and container planting can start from around £2,000–£4,500. Mid-size upgrades with artificial grass or composite decking often fall between £6,000–£15,000. Full garden transformations including hard landscaping and automated irrigation are commonly £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward artificial grass and gravel scheme may be completed in 3–7 days, while composite decking, new paths and planting typically take 1–2 weeks. Larger builds with drainage works, extensive paving and irrigation can take 3–5 weeks. Weather, access, and curing times for concrete bases can affect schedules.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing turf with artificial grass, adding decking at sensible heights, or installing gravel and planting. However, rules can apply to drainage (especially for front gardens), raised platforms, boundary changes, and work near listed buildings or conservation areas. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on permeable surfaces and levels to keep your project compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements installed by our team, giving you confidence in the build quality. This covers issues arising from installation, such as movement due to inadequate sub-base preparation or jointing failures, subject to normal use. Manufacturer warranties also apply to products like composite decking and artificial grass. We’ll explain what’s covered and how to maintain everything properly.
We tailor each design to your home and how you use the space. Popular options include artificial grass for a clean, child-friendly lawn feel, composite decking for low-slip seating areas, and gravel zones with strong edging for easy upkeep. Evergreen planting and container schemes add structure without constant pruning. We’ll bring samples, discuss colours and textures, and recommend the best mix for sun, shade and drainage.
