New builds often come with compacted soil, uneven levels and a blank, muddy plot. We create complete outdoor spaces for SE4 homeowners, from full garden design through to turfing, patios and planting. If you’re near Brockley Market or walking routes by Hilly Fields, we can plan a garden that suits how you actually use the space. The result is a practical layout with strong finishes and year-round structure.
Brockley’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions means access can be tight and boundaries need careful handling. We regularly work across Honor Oak, Crofton Park and New Cross, adapting designs for long, narrow gardens, side returns and shared access paths. For new build plots behind period frontages, we balance modern materials with planting that sits comfortably alongside older brickwork. Every scheme is tailored to your light levels, privacy needs and maintenance preferences.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear plan covering drainage, surfaces and planting. You’ll receive a detailed scope, materials options and a tidy programme so you know what happens and when. Our team protects neighbouring fences, keeps access routes clear and leaves the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for straightforward communication, consistent workmanship and a finish that lasts.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, ground conditions can vary, with compacted subsoil common on new build sites and clay-heavy patches that need careful drainage. Parking and access around SE4 streets often require timed deliveries and tidy storage of materials. We plan for narrow side passages, stepped levels and shared boundaries typical of Brockley’s housing stock. That local understanding helps us avoid delays and deliver a sharper finish.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. As a guide in SE4, turfing and basic planting might start from £1,500–£3,500 for small plots. A patio with proper sub-base and edging often ranges £3,000–£8,000. Full new build landscaping in Brockley (design, drainage, fencing, paving, lawn and planting) is commonly £8,000–£25,000+, especially where levels or poor soil need remediation.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the scope. A straightforward turf and planting job can be completed in 2–4 days, while patios, pathways, fencing and drainage usually extend timelines. Factors that affect duration include curing times for paving bases, weather, access for skips and deliveries, and whether we’re regrading levels or improving compacted new build soil before laying turf.
Most rear garden works—turfing, patios, planting, standard fencing and pathways—are usually permitted development. However, rules can change for front gardens, high fences, boundary walls, significant level changes, drainage to the highway, or if your property is in a conservation area. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on permeable surfacing and drainage compliance. If permission is needed, we help you prepare the details.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as patios, pathways, edging and installed drainage, provided they’re used and maintained normally. It covers issues linked to installation, like movement caused by incorrect sub-bases or poor falls. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. Soft landscaping (turf and planting) is seasonal, but we’ll advise on aftercare and replacements where appropriate.
For contemporary plots, porcelain paving, sandstone and large-format concrete flags are popular for patios, with matching pathways to reduce visual clutter. For boundaries, slatted screening, closeboard fencing and trellis toppers help with privacy. Planting often includes evergreen structure, grasses and pollinator-friendly perennials for low maintenance. We’ll recommend options based on light, soil, child/pet needs and how you want to use the space, then provide samples before you choose.
