Whether you’re near Tulse Hill station or walking distance from Brockwell Park, a well-planned garden should look great in every season. Our soft landscaping focuses on the living elements: lawns, borders, trees, shrubs and hedging. We improve soil structure with quality topsoil and mulching, then plant for colour, privacy and wildlife. The result is a garden that settles in quickly and keeps improving year after year.
Tulse Hill’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and post-war estates often comes with long, narrow plots, shaded corners and varied soil conditions. We design planting that suits these spaces, from tidy front gardens to family-friendly back lawns. If you’re in neighbouring Brixton, Herne Hill or Streatham Hill, we can match the style of your property while keeping maintenance realistic. Expect thoughtful plant choices, clean lines and a finish that complements period brickwork and mature streetscapes.
We start with a site visit to assess light levels, drainage and how you use the garden, then propose a clear plan and itemised quote. Our team handles preparation properly: removing tired turf, grading levels, adding topsoil, and installing irrigation where needed before planting. We keep disruption low and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens across the London Borough of Lambeth can vary from compact courtyards to deep terrace plots, often with restricted side access and limited parking. We plan deliveries and waste removal to suit SW2 streets and work considerately around neighbours. Where clay-heavy or compacted ground is present, we improve soil with organic matter, topsoil and mulching to help roots establish. Planting layouts are tailored to Victorian-era proportions and the shade patterns created by surrounding buildings.

Costs depend on garden size, access, and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, lawn installation typically ranges from £35–£80 per m² depending on turf type and groundworks. Border planting (plants, compost, labour) often comes in at £60–£150 per m². Tree or shrub planting can range from £150–£1,500+ each, depending on size, staking and aftercare. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most soft landscaping projects take 1–5 days, with larger gardens or complex planting plans taking 1–3 weeks. A simple turf replacement might be completed in 1–2 days, while full border planting with soil improvement and irrigation can take longer. Timescales are affected by access (terrace side passages), waste removal, weather, and whether we’re waiting for specific plants or larger trees. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Most soft landscaping works—turfing, planting beds, shrubs, hedging and mulching—don’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re planning works that affect protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) or boundaries. If irrigation involves changes to external plumbing, we’ll advise on best practice. We’ll flag any likely permissions during the survey and help you stay compliant.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, covering installation quality such as correct ground preparation, edging, levels, and irrigation installation. Living materials can be affected by weather, pests, and watering habits, so plant guarantees vary by supplier and season. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific plants and turf, and we provide aftercare guidance to maximise establishment and long-term performance.
We offer hard-wearing family turf, ornamental turf, and options suited to shade or heavier use. For borders, we can create contemporary evergreen structure, cottage-style colour, or wildlife-friendly planting with pollinator favourites. Popular choices include pleached screening, mixed native hedging, specimen trees, and low-maintenance shrubs. We also supply quality topsoil and mulches (bark, composted mulch) and can add irrigation for consistent watering. We help you choose based on light, soil and maintenance preferences.
