Croydon's diverse housing stock means back gardens come in every shape imaginable. Those long, thin plots behind the terraced houses near East Croydon station require clever zoning to maximise space. Meanwhile, the more generous gardens around Lloyd Park offer scope for ambitious transformations. Working with local soil conditions and understanding the typical drainage issues in CR2's clay-heavy areas shapes every design decision.
Smart landscaping balances hard surfaces with planting schemes that thrive in our specific microclimate. Railway embankments backing onto gardens in Selhurst need screening solutions that won't overwhelm smaller spaces. Contemporary porcelain paving suits the modern developments sprouting up across CR0, whilst natural stone complements the character properties dotting Waddon. Proper groundwork preparation prevents the settling issues common when London clay meets British weather patterns.
