If your garden is more “mud track” than lawn, we can help. We design pet friendly gardens Lewisham area homeowners can enjoy without constant repairs, from hard-wearing turf to easy-clean paths. Whether you’re near Lewisham station or walking routes by Mountsfield Park, we’ll plan a layout that suits your pet’s habits. Expect smart finishes that still cope with zoomies, digging and wet weather.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and newer developments often means compact plots, side returns and overlooked boundaries. We’re used to making every metre work in SE13, adding practical dog runs, discreet bins and wash-down points without losing style. For homes in Ladywell, Hither Green or Lee, we’ll balance privacy, drainage and planting so the garden stays usable year-round. The result is a space that feels considered, not “pet-proofed as an afterthought”.
We start with a site visit to understand access, sunlight, and your pet’s routines, then produce a clear plan and itemised options. Our builds prioritise safe materials, secure fencing and non-toxic plants, with surfaces chosen for grip and easy cleaning. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 25 minutes away, so we can respond quickly and keep projects moving. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear communication and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
Gardens across the London Borough of Lewisham often sit on mixed soils and can suffer from compaction and poor drainage, especially after wet spells. We specify sub-bases, drainage and lawn systems that cope with pets and London weather. Access can be tight on terrace streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also design boundaries and planting with neighbouring sightlines in mind, common around SE13 streets.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of surfaces. As a guide, a small refresh with durable turf, minor fencing tweaks and pet-safe planting often starts around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-size redesign with new paving, drainage improvements, secure fencing and a dog-run area is commonly £7,000–£18,000. Larger, fully landscaped gardens with premium finishes and lighting can be £20,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on scope. A straightforward lawn replacement and a small paved area may be completed in 3–5 days. Full redesigns with fencing, drainage, dog runs, raised planters and multiple surfaces typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access for materials, weather, curing time for bases and whether you want bespoke joinery or custom gates.
Most rear-garden improvements such as patios, lawns, planting, dog runs and standard-height fencing are usually permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if the property is listed, or if fencing faces a highway and exceeds height limits. We’ll flag any likely restrictions during the survey and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, such as paving build-ups, edging, retaining details and constructed features, when used as intended. Products and materials (for example fencing components, turf systems or lighting) are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also give clear aftercare guidance for lawns and planting, helping your garden stay robust as your pet settles in.
Popular choices include hard-wearing turf or reinforced lawn systems, porcelain or textured concrete paving for easy cleaning, and composite decking for low splinter risk. For boundaries, we fit closeboard fencing, pet-proof gaps and secure latches, plus optional dig guards. Planting schemes focus on non-toxic species and resilient shrubs, with shade spots and optional shallow water features. We’ll recommend options based on your pet, budget, sunlight and maintenance preferences.
