Blackheath gardens deserve joinery-level finishing, whether you’re overlooking Blackheath Common or tucked behind a home near Blackheath Village. Fine Landscaping designs and installs timber decking that feels like a natural extension of your house and patio. From grooved boards for extra grip to clean-edged steps, we build layouts that work for real family use. Expect tidy lines, solid subframes and a finish that complements your planting.
We’re used to working around the proportions and levels found in Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions across SE3. Many properties in Blackheath have raised patios, basement lightwells or narrow side access, so we plan deliveries and build sequences carefully. If you’re near The Paragon or bordering Greenwich, Lee or Lewisham, we’ll tailor the deck height and detailing to suit the architecture. The result is a deck that looks intentional, not bolted on.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and sunlight, then we propose a design with material options and a clear scope. We install a stable, ventilated subframe, fix boards neatly, and finish with staining where required for colour and protection. You’ll get straightforward communication, considerate working practices and a proper handover with care guidance. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, crisp workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we often find mixed ground conditions and gardens with subtle falls that need careful setting-out. In SE3, access can be tight behind period homes, so we plan material handling and keep disruption low. We also factor in neighbouring boundaries and sightlines common to Victorian plots. Where council considerations apply, we help you stay compliant without slowing the build.

Costs vary by size, height, access and timber choice. As a guide, softwood decking typically starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood is often £180–£280+ per m². Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, complex shapes, and staining will increase the budget. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit in SE3.
Most projects take 2–5 days for a straightforward deck, with larger or raised builds often taking 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground preparation, subframe complexity, number of steps, balustrades, and whether we’re integrating built-in seating. Weather can also affect staining and finishing. We’ll confirm a schedule once we’ve checked access and levels at your Blackheath property.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats, conservation areas, or if the deck height is substantial. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise if you should check with the Royal Borough of Greenwich or Lewisham planning team before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our timber decking installations, covering issues such as structural fixing, subframe integrity and board installation when the deck has been used and maintained normally. Timber is a natural material, so movement and weathering can occur, but we minimise this through correct spacing, ventilation and quality fixings. Manufacturer warranties on treated timber may also apply, depending on the product chosen.
You can choose treated softwood for value, or hardwood for a premium finish and longevity. Board options include grooved boards for grip or smooth boards for a sleeker look, plus matching steps, balustrades and built-in seating. We can also stain the deck to complement brickwork and joinery typical of Blackheath period homes. We’ll recommend the best combination based on sunlight, drainage and how you’ll use the space.
