New-build gardens around SE22 often start as compacted subsoil, uneven levels and minimal drainage. We create practical outdoor spaces that suit busy households near Lordship Lane and Peckham Rye, with clean lines and durable materials. Whether you need a family lawn, a low-maintenance terrace or a smart entertaining area, we handle the full build. Expect clear staging, tidy working and a garden that looks complete from the first season.
East Dulwich has a mix of new developments alongside Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, each with different access and boundary quirks. We’re used to narrow side returns, shared passages and rear-only access common around Dulwich Village and Nunhead. Our designs balance privacy, light and storage, while keeping maintenance realistic. Planting plans are chosen to thrive in London conditions and look good year-round.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a design that ties together patio, pathways, turfing, fencing and planting. Drainage is planned early, so surfaces fall correctly and lawns don’t waterlog after heavy rain. You’ll get a written scope, agreed materials, and a schedule you can plan around. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, so aftercare and snagging are handled quickly.
We regularly deliver new build landscaping in the East Dulwich area and understand the practicalities of working in the London Borough of Southwark. Access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. Ground conditions often include compacted subsoil from construction, so we improve levels, add topsoil where needed and design drainage properly. Boundary lines and fencing heights are checked carefully to avoid neighbour issues.

Costs vary with size, levels and specification. As a guide in SE22, a straightforward tidy-up with topsoil and turfing may start around £2,000–£5,000. A mid-range scheme with patio, pathways, fencing and planting commonly falls between £8,000–£20,000. Larger gardens, significant re-grading, premium paving or bespoke joinery can be £25,000+. We provide an itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once work starts. A simple turfing and planting job can be completed in a few days, while patio installation, fencing, drainage and pathways typically need 10–15 working days. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing time for bases and whether levels need correcting. We agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated if anything changes on site.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, turfing, planting and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can apply to front gardens, drainage to the public sewer, listed buildings, conservation areas, or changes that affect public highways. If you’re adding hardstanding, we also consider permeable surfacing requirements. We’ll flag any likely permissions and help you check Southwark guidance before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping, including patio installation, pathways, edging and installed structures, provided they’re used normally and maintained. This covers issues linked to installation, such as movement from inadequate sub-bases or incorrect falls. Planting and turf are living materials, so they’re covered differently and depend on aftercare and weather. We explain what’s included in writing before starting.
We tailor each scheme to your home and how you’ll use the space. Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer look, and resin-bound or gravel paths for permeability. Fencing options range from closeboard for privacy to slatted screens for a modern finish, with lighting and raised beds where space allows. We bring samples, discuss budgets and recommend planting that suits sun, shade and soil conditions.
