Twickenham homeowners want gardens that look sharp without constant weekend upkeep. Whether you’re near Twickenham Stadium or enjoying walks by Marble Hill Park, we design outdoor spaces that suit real day-to-day life. Our low-maintenance builds combine durable hard landscaping with planting that holds its shape through the seasons. The result is a garden that feels finished, not fussy.
Across TW1 and TW2 we regularly work on Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and 1930s family homes where outdoor space needs to be practical as well as attractive. Many gardens have narrow side access, mixed levels, or older patios that need upgrading. We plan layouts that reduce mud, worn lawns and awkward corners. Container planting and evergreen structure keep things looking cared-for even when time is tight.
We start with a site visit, clear measurement and a simple design proposal focused on longevity and easy care. Installation is handled by our in-house team, with proper ground preparation, weed membrane where needed, and tidy finishing details. You’ll get clear communication, realistic timelines and a written 10-year warranty on workmanship. Fine Landscaping is based in South London, and we’re in Twickenham in around 45 minutes for surveys and aftercare.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, gardens often sit on clay-heavy soils that can compact and hold water, so drainage and sub-bases matter. We also plan around narrow access typical of period streets in St Margarets and Whitton, choosing materials that can be brought through safely. Where parking restrictions apply, we schedule deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. Our layouts suit riverside plots as well as more enclosed family gardens.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of finishes. As a guide in Twickenham, a small low-maintenance refresh (gravel area, weed membrane, planting and edging) often starts around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size upgrades with composite decking or artificial grass commonly fall between £8,000–£18,000. Full redesigns with hard landscaping, lighting and automated irrigation can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A straightforward artificial grass installation with base prep can be completed in 2–5 days, while composite decking and new paving may take 1–2 weeks. Larger schemes with drainage, retaining edges, multiple levels and irrigation can run 3–6 weeks. Weather, access, curing times and bespoke materials can affect the schedule.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing lawns with artificial grass, adding gravel areas, installing decking within limits, and general hard landscaping. Rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, adding tall structures, or working near shared boundaries. We flag any likely constraints during the survey and can advise on permeable surfaces and drainage so your garden remains compliant and practical.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our low maintenance garden installations, covering issues arising from installation defects such as unstable sub-bases, poor fixing, or failures in laid finishes. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like composite decking and artificial grass, and we’ll register or pass these on where relevant. We also give clear care guidance so your new surfaces and planting perform as intended.
Popular choices include realistic artificial grass, composite decking in contemporary greys or warm tones, and gravel areas with crisp steel or stone edging. For planting, we use evergreen structure (e.g. clipped shrubs, grasses, hardy perennials) plus container planting for flexible colour. Automated irrigation can be added for beds and pots. We’ll recommend options based on light, soil, drainage, family use and the look of your property.
