From Lordship Lane gardens to quieter streets near Dulwich Park, homeowners in SE22 want patios that look sharp and stay level year after year. Fine Landscaping builds tailored patios for dining, relaxing and entertaining, with careful attention to falls, drainage and edging. Whether you’re after a clean contemporary porcelain finish or a characterful natural stone look, we’ll match the style to your property. We also create seating areas that make the most of smaller London gardens.
East Dulwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with stepped gardens and tight side access. We’re used to working around cellar lightwells, bay windows and existing brick boundaries, keeping disruption low and the site tidy. Many clients want patio extensions that connect the kitchen to the garden without losing planting space. Our layouts are designed to complement period features while adding practical, modern usability.
We start with a design consultation to understand how you’ll use the space, then recommend materials, sizes and jointing to suit your budget and maintenance preferences. Every build includes a properly prepared sub-base, accurate levels and reliable drainage so water runs away from the house. You’ll get clear scheduling, transparent options, and respectful workmanship from a local team based just 20 minutes away. Our patios are backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty for long-term peace of mind.
We understand the practicalities of building in the London Borough of Southwark, including restricted access, parking considerations and shared boundaries. Many SE22 gardens have clay-heavy ground, so we focus on robust sub-bases and dependable drainage. For homes near Peckham Rye or Dulwich Village, we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our approach suits period properties where levels and thresholds need extra care.

Costs vary with material choice, access and ground preparation. As a guide, installed patios in SE22 often start around £140–£200 per m² for quality concrete paving, £180–£280 per m² for Indian sandstone, and £220–£350+ per m² for premium porcelain or limestone. Steps, retaining edges, drainage channels and seating areas will add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most patio builds take 3–7 working days, depending on size, access and whether old paving needs lifting. A small courtyard can be completed in a few days, while larger patio extensions with steps, drainage and new edging may take 1–2 weeks. Weather, curing times and the complexity of cuts (common with porcelain) can affect the schedule. We confirm timings before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, a new or replacement patio is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels significantly near boundaries. Drainage matters too: surfaces should manage rainwater responsibly, often by directing it to borders or a soakaway. We check the relevant constraints and advise on compliant solutions before work begins.
Yes. Our patio installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty covering issues linked to our build, such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by incorrect preparation, or poor laying that leads to movement. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what each product includes. The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate care, and we provide guidance on cleaning and maintenance to protect the finish.
We install natural stone patios (including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone) as well as low-maintenance porcelain patios with crisp, modern lines. Design options include mixed-size patterns, large-format slabs, contrasting borders, and built-in seating areas or raised planters. During the design consultation, we help you choose colours and textures that suit period brickwork and garden planting. We’ll also advise on jointing, anti-slip finishes and drainage details.
