Upper Norwood gardens often sit on sloping plots with long views, so good design has to work hard as well as look great. We create tailored outdoor spaces near Crystal Palace Park and Westow Park, balancing entertaining areas with softer planting. Whether you want a low-maintenance family garden or a statement terrace for summer dining, we build with durability and drainage in mind. Expect crisp levels, clean detailing, and planting that suits the aspect.
Our team knows the back gardens behind Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions common around Crystal Palace and Norwood New Town. These properties often have mature boundaries, narrow side access and existing brickwork worth complementing rather than replacing. We can refresh a compact courtyard or rework a long garden into distinct zones for seating, play and planting. The result feels in keeping with your home, not dropped in from a catalogue.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal, then schedule the build with minimal disruption. You’ll get transparent specifications for patios, decking, lawns, fencing, structures, lighting and water features, plus tidy workmanship throughout. Our installations are built to last and backed by a 10-year warranty on qualifying works. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, honest advice and finishes that stand up to British weather.
We’re used to the hilltop conditions around SE19, where wind exposure and shade from mature trees can affect planting and comfort. Access can be tight on period streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking carefully. For back garden landscaping in London Borough of Croydon, we also consider surface-water run-off and permeable options where appropriate. Every build is adapted to your plot, boundaries and neighbouring properties.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification, but typical projects in SE19 range from £6,000–£15,000 for a patio, lawn and planting refresh, and £15,000–£40,000+ for full redesigns with decking, fencing, lighting and structures. Premium stone, bespoke joinery, retaining walls and water features can increase budgets. After a site visit we provide an itemised estimate so you can choose where to invest.
Most back garden projects take 1–2 weeks for a straightforward patio and lawn, and 3–8 weeks for a full build including decking, fencing, lighting, structures and planting. Timescales depend on groundworks, drainage, level changes, curing time for concrete, and lead times for materials. Weather and access restrictions can also affect progress. We agree a programme in advance and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, paths, lawns, planting and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation considerations, raised platforms, large outbuildings, or works that affect drainage and boundaries. We’ll flag likely issues early, advise on permeable paving where needed, and help you check Croydon Council guidance before work starts. If permissions are required, we can support the application process.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installation work, covering workmanship on key elements such as patios, decking substructures, retaining details, fencing installation and built structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like lighting fittings, composite decking boards and specialist products. We also explain aftercare for lawns and planting so your garden beds in well and performs as intended.
We offer porcelain and natural stone patios, brick edging, timber or composite decking, turf or seeded lawns, and planting schemes from contemporary architectural to cottage-style. For boundaries we install closeboard, slatted or trellis-topped fencing, plus pergolas, raised planters and discreet storage. Lighting can include step lights, spike spots and warm wall washes, and water features range from simple rills to self-contained bowls. We guide you on style, maintenance and budget to suit your home.
