From Addiscombe tram stop to Ashburton Park, gardens here are used year-round by residents, families and staff. We design care home outdoor spaces that prioritise independence, clear wayfinding and restful places to sit. Expect practical features such as accessible pathways, handrails and safe boundaries, blended into a welcoming landscape. Sensory planting and memory gardens add gentle stimulation and familiar seasonal colour.
Addiscombe’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often come with long rear gardens, side returns, and level changes that need careful detailing. We plan routes and seating so they work with existing patios, lawns and mature shrubs rather than fighting them. For CR0 properties and care settings near East Croydon and Shirley, we also factor in privacy from neighbouring windows. The result is a garden that looks premium while staying easy to manage.
We start with a site visit to assess access, gradients, drainage and user needs, then provide a clear design and itemised specification. Our team handles groundwork, paving, carpentry, planting and finishing touches with tidy working practices and safe site management. You’ll get realistic timelines, regular updates and a handover that includes maintenance guidance. Local clients choose Fine Landscaping because we’re nearby (around 10 minutes away) and we stand behind our workmanship.
In the care home gardens Addiscombe area, access and parking can be tight, especially near tram routes and busier roads around East Croydon. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. Many gardens in the London Borough of Croydon have clay-heavy soils and periods of waterlogging, so we specify drainage, robust sub-bases and suitable planting. We also design around existing fences, party walls and mature trees common to older plots.

Costs vary with size, access and the number of safety features. As a guide, small upgrades (handrails, short paths, seating and planting) often start from £3,000–£8,000. Mid-sized refurbishments with accessible paving, raised beds and new planting typically fall around £10,000–£25,000. Larger projects including shade structures, boundary upgrades, lighting and full re-levelling can be £30,000–£70,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for straightforward improvements, such as new paths, raised planters and refreshed planting. More involved schemes with drainage, re-grading, multiple seating zones, shade structures and boundary works usually take 4–8 weeks. Timescales depend on access for machinery, the amount of groundwork, curing time for concrete bases, and plant availability. We schedule work to keep key entrances and walkways usable wherever possible.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding raised beds, planting and most fencing within height limits. However, planning can apply to larger structures (some pergolas or canopies), significant changes to levels, works near protected trees, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely requirements early and can help you check Croydon Council guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving sub-bases, edging, built planters, steps/ramps and structural carpentry. It covers defects caused by installation, not damage from misuse, extreme weather events, or third-party alterations. Planting is living material, so it’s covered separately and depends on season and aftercare. We also give maintenance advice to protect surfaces and keep planting thriving.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and the look of the building. Popular options include resin-bound or textured porcelain paving for grip, smooth sandstone for warm tones, and composite or hardwood seating details. Raised beds can be brick, rendered block, timber sleepers or corten steel, depending on budget and style. Sensory planting often features lavender, rosemary, grasses and colourful perennials, while memory gardens may include familiar cottage plants. We’ll bring samples and recommend the safest, most durable choices.
