New developments around New Cross station and SE14 often come with compact, uneven plots and minimal topsoil. Fine Landscaping creates complete outdoor spaces with full garden design, turfing, patios, fencing, planting and tidy pathways. Whether you want a low-maintenance courtyard or a family-friendly layout, we build it properly from the ground up. We can also deliver crisp show home gardens that photograph beautifully and wear well.
New Cross mixes new builds with Victorian terraces and converted flats, each with different access and layout challenges. We regularly work near Deptford and Brockley where side returns, narrow alleys and shared boundaries need careful planning. Our designs suit modern lifestyles in a creative student hub, balancing privacy, lighting and entertaining space. Planting schemes are chosen for year-round structure, not just a quick first impression.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear design plan, then schedule works to minimise disruption. Groundworks, drainage and edging are done before surfacing and planting so the finish stays sharp. You’ll get straightforward options, written specifications and tidy workmanship from start to handover. Local homeowners trust us because we communicate well, turn up when we say, and stand behind the build.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, new build plots can suffer from compacted subsoil and poor runoff, especially after construction traffic. We assess falls, add drainage where needed, and specify the right sub-base for patios and paths. Access can be tight near Telegraph Hill and around converted flats, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to keep neighbours on side. Materials are chosen to suit local brickwork, boundary lines and the scale of SE14 gardens.

Costs vary with access, levels and specification. As a guide, a simple new build tidy-up with soil improvement and turfing can start from £1,500–£3,500 for small gardens. A mid-range package with patio, fencing and planting is often £6,000–£15,000. Full garden design with drainage, multiple zones, lighting-ready groundwork and premium finishes can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on size and complexity. Turfing and basic planting may be completed in a few days, while patios, fencing, drainage and pathways typically add time for groundworks and curing. Access restrictions, skip permits, weather, and lead times for materials can affect the programme. We provide a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Most rear garden landscaping is permitted development, including patios, turfing, planting and standard fencing, as long as heights and boundary rules are followed. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, new build planning conditions, or major level changes and retaining structures. If you’re adding hardstanding at the front, permeable surfacing and drainage rules may also apply. We check constraints and advise before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations such as patios, pathways, edging and structural groundworks, provided the area is used and maintained normally. It covers installation defects, including sub-base failure and movement caused by poor build methods. Living elements like turf and plants are covered separately because weather and aftercare play a big role. We’ll explain what’s included in writing with your specification.
For New Cross gardens, popular choices include porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone for warmth, and resin-bound or gravel paths for good drainage. Fencing options range from contemporary slatted screens to closeboard panels for privacy, with trellis details for climbers. Planting often combines evergreen structure with pollinator-friendly perennials and small multi-stem trees. We help you choose finishes that suit your home, budget, sunlight and maintenance preferences.
