South Croydon homeowners often want a garden that works for family life, entertaining and year-round colour. Whether you’re near South Croydon station or closer to Lloyd Park, we design and build outdoor spaces that feel considered and easy to maintain. Expect crisp paving lines, smart levels and planting that matures beautifully. We can combine patios, decking, lawns and lighting into one cohesive plan.
The CR2 area includes large detached houses, Victorian villas and plenty of 1930s semis with generous rear plots. These gardens can be brilliant for zoned layouts—dining terrace by the house, a lawn for play, and a quieter seating corner near the boundary. We also work regularly in Sanderstead, Selsdon and Purley, tailoring designs to each property’s style and the way the garden is used. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down.
Our process starts with a site visit and clear design options, followed by a detailed, itemised quote and programme. We handle groundwork, drainage, levels and finishes properly, so patios stay stable and lawns establish well. You’ll have one point of contact throughout, with tidy working practices and regular updates. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally for reliable schedules, high-end detailing and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens often sit on mixed clay soils that need careful preparation and drainage. In South Croydon, side access can be narrow on 1930s plots, so we plan material handling and protect paths and thresholds. We’re used to working around mature trees and boundary constraints near green spaces such as Croham Hurst Woods. Where required, we help you stay compliant with local rules on drainage and boundary works.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a new patio or deck can start from £3,000–£6,000, while a full back garden transformation with levels, lawn, planting, fencing, lighting and a small water feature often falls between £12,000–£35,000+. Premium stone, bespoke structures and complex drainage can increase budgets. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for a patio, decking and turf, and 3–8 weeks for a full redesign with structures, fencing, lighting and planting. Timescales depend on excavation depth, drainage needs, retaining work, material lead times and weather. Access can also affect speed on CR2 properties. We give a clear programme before starting and keep you updated as work progresses.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, decking at low level and most planting. However, rules can apply to raised platforms, tall structures, boundary fencing heights, listed buildings and conservation areas. Drainage is also important—new hardstanding should usually be permeable or drain to a suitable area. We flag any likely permissions early and can advise what to check with Croydon Council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation defects. This includes key elements such as paving and decking build-up, edging, pointing, and structural integrity of installed features where applicable. Materials typically carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we pass on and explain. We also give aftercare guidance for lawns and planting to help everything establish properly.
We tailor designs to your home and budget, from porcelain or natural stone patios to composite or timber decking. Popular options in South Croydon include clean-lined fencing, raised planters, pergolas, integrated seating, warm LED lighting and compact water features for sound and movement. Planting can be modern and architectural or softer and cottage-style. We’ll show samples, discuss maintenance, and create a layout that fits how you use the space.
