Coulsdon’s semi-rural setting and open views near Farthing Downs make outdoor time especially valuable for residents and visitors. We create care home gardens that support independence, reduce trip hazards and encourage gentle activity. From accessible pathways to shaded seating areas, every element is planned around day-to-day use. We also build memory gardens that feel familiar and reassuring.
Across CR5 you’ll find large detached houses, 1930s properties and modern developments, and many care settings share similar constraints—sloping plots, tight side access or mixed levels. In Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley, we often adapt designs to suit uneven ground while keeping routes simple and safe. Raised beds make gardening possible without bending, and handrails provide confidence on gentle gradients. Planting is chosen for low maintenance and year-round interest.
We start with a site visit to understand mobility needs, supervision points and maintenance requirements. You’ll receive a clear design proposal, practical material choices and a programme that minimises disruption. Our team installs with careful attention to edges, falls and drainage, so paths stay stable in wet weather. Clients trust us because we communicate clearly, keep sites tidy, and stand behind our workmanship with a long warranty.
Coulsdon gardens can be exposed and sloping, especially near Happy Valley and the downland edges, so we design for wind, drainage and safe gradients. We plan deliveries and parking with local road widths and access in mind, and we keep routes clear for residents and staff. Materials are selected to cope with winter algae and leaf fall from mature trees. Where council guidance applies in the London Borough of Croydon, we help you stay compliant.

Costs vary by access, levels and specification. As a guide, a small refresh with safer paths, seating and planting might be £3,000–£8,000. A mid-sized redesign with raised beds, handrails, lighting and secure boundaries is often £10,000–£25,000. Larger schemes with extensive paving, shade structures and memory-garden features can be £30,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit in CR5.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are booked in. A simple pathway and seating upgrade can be completed in under a week, while a full redesign with raised beds, boundary works and shade structures may take 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage, level changes, and whether we’re working around resident routines. We agree a phased plan to reduce noise and disruption.
Many garden improvements—planting, raised beds, most paths and seating—are usually permitted development. However, planning or consent may be needed for taller boundary treatments, structures close to boundaries, significant level changes, or works affecting protected trees. If your site has restrictions or is near sensitive land, requirements can differ. We flag potential issues early and can help you check guidance with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, steps, handrails fixings and built structures (subject to normal use and maintenance). Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also explain how to care for surfaces and planting to keep them safe and looking good. Any snagging issues identified after completion are handled promptly.
We tailor designs to mobility, supervision and maintenance needs. Popular options include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or masonry raised beds at wheelchair-friendly heights, and sensory planting with herbs, grasses and scented shrubs. Seating can be benches with arms and higher seats for easier standing, plus pergolas or sail shades for shelter. We’ll recommend finishes that are durable, non-slip and easy to maintain.
