Upper Norwood gardens often need strong, well-finished masonry to handle level changes and make the most of the hilltop aspect. We build garden walls, brick pillars, archways and raised beds that look right alongside period facades and mature planting. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or a short walk from Westow Park, we design features that feel considered rather than bolted on. Expect neat lines, tidy pointing and detailing that elevates the whole outdoor space.
Many properties in SE19 are Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions with character brickwork that deserves a sympathetic match. We source bricks and stone to complement existing tones, and we can replicate traditional copings, piers and reveals for a seamless finish. For compact plots in Crystal Palace or Norwood New Town, we use smart layouts such as built-in planters and slimline walls to maximise usable space. Where gardens are larger, we create statement features like archways, BBQ areas and fire pits that anchor the design.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear design options and a written quotation, followed by careful setting-out and solid foundations. We manage drainage, levels and detailing so the final build performs as well as it looks. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, clean working practices and consistent communication from start to finish. Every masonry project is completed to a high standard and backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Upper Norwood’s sloping plots and mixed ground conditions mean levels and footings need careful planning. We design retaining walls and raised beds with proper drainage and weep vents where required. Access and parking can be tight around SE19 streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in Croydon requirements and conservation considerations when designs sit close to boundaries or street-facing walls.

Costs vary with access, foundations and finishes, but typical Upper Norwood projects start from £900–£1,800 for small planters or low walls. Raised beds and longer garden walls often fall around £2,500–£6,500 depending on length, height and coping. Bespoke features such as brick pillars, archways, BBQ areas or fire pits are commonly £1,800–£7,500+. We’ll confirm options after a site visit in SE19.
Small jobs such as a planter or short wall usually take 1–3 days. A set of raised beds or a medium garden wall is often 3–7 days, while larger builds with steps, retaining walls, archways or a BBQ area can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time, weather, access for materials, and whether we’re coordinating with paving or drainage works.
Many garden walls, planters, raised beds and patio features are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front boundary walls over certain heights, works near highways, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas can trigger extra rules. Croydon may also have requirements around visibility at junctions and boundary treatments. We’ll advise during the survey, check constraints, and recommend the right approach before work begins.
Yes. Our brickwork and masonry installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including structural integrity of walls, pillars, raised beds and built features when used as intended. It also covers issues caused by incorrect laying, pointing or bedding. Natural movement, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We also provide care guidance to help keep brick and stone looking their best.
We build in quality facing brick, reclaimed-style brick, engineering brick for strength, and a range of natural stone options for caps and features. Popular choices in Upper Norwood include brick piers with stone copings, curved planters, rendered blockwork walls, and integrated seating around fire pits. We’ll bring samples, discuss colour matching to your property, and design details such as soldier courses, recessed panels and lighting-ready openings.
