Greenwich gardens often come with tight footprints, overlooked boundaries and tricky access, but the results can be exceptional with the right plan. We design and build small gardens that feel bigger through smart space planning, mirrors and layered planting. Whether you’re near Greenwich Park or closer to Maze Hill, we’ll turn underused corners into practical, beautiful zones. Expect clean detailing, durable materials and planting that thrives in London conditions.
Homeowners across the Royal Borough of Greenwich range from Georgian townhouses to Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments. Each property type benefits from a tailored approach: elegant paving and structured planting for period homes, or crisp lines and contemporary lighting for newer builds. In Blackheath and Deptford, we frequently work with narrow side returns, courtyard gardens and shaded plots. Our small garden design & build Greenwich area service is built around maximising usable space without making it feel cluttered.
We start with a measured survey, then produce a clear layout that balances circulation, seating and planting. Next comes a detailed specification—materials, levels, drainage, lighting and low-maintenance planting—so you know exactly what’s included. Our build team works to tidy site standards, protects access routes, and communicates daily on progress. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 30 minutes away, and local clients value our reliability, workmanship and aftercare guidance.
Greenwich plots can be shaded by tall buildings, exposed near the river, or compact behind terraces with limited side access. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking carefully, and we’re used to working around shared pathways and tight gates. Where properties sit near heritage settings such as the Old Royal Naval College, we keep designs sympathetic and materials appropriate. Our small garden design & build in Royal Borough of Greenwich approach also considers drainage and levels to prevent water pooling in small spaces.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple refresh (new paving, planting, lighting tweaks) may start around £4,000–£8,000. A full small garden transformation with new layout, paving, raised beds, lighting and built-in storage is commonly £10,000–£25,000+. Premium materials, complex levels, bespoke joinery or extensive lighting can take budgets higher. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after survey.
Most small garden builds in SE10 take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A straightforward courtyard with paving, containers and planting can be completed in about a week, while projects with raised planters, drainage changes, lighting and joinery often need 2–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for bespoke items or specialist materials.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as paving, planting, lighting and most fences within height rules. However, restrictions can apply in conservation areas, for listed buildings, or where changes affect drainage to the public highway. If you’re close to notable heritage settings or your property has special status, we’ll flag it early. We check relevant guidance and can help you prepare information if permission or consent is required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our small garden build projects, covering installation of hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, retaining features and built structures, provided they’re used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting fittings, composite materials or membranes. We also explain aftercare for planting and surfaces so your garden settles in well and continues to perform over time.
Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone paving for clean lines, composite or hardwood seating with built-in storage, and raised planters in brick, rendered block or timber. For compact plots we often add mirrors, vertical planting panels, container planting and layered lighting to extend use into the evening. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your property style—Georgian, Victorian or modern—and match your maintenance preferences and budget.
