From South Croydon to Addiscombe, we design outdoor spaces that make daily life easier and more enjoyable for residents. Our gardens are planned around safe movement, clear wayfinding and places to pause, chat and reflect. Whether you’re close to East Croydon station or managing a site near Croydon University Hospital, we tailor layouts to your building entrances, routines and care needs. The result is a garden that looks beautiful while working hard in practice.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments means no two gardens behave the same. We’re used to tighter plots and side access on older streets, as well as larger grounds around newer facilities. We design raised beds and seating areas at practical heights, with surfaces that stay stable in wet weather. If you’re in CR0, CR2 or CR9, we’ll match the style of the property and the needs of the people using it.
Our process starts with a site visit, risk-aware design and a clear scope of works. We plan accessible pathways, safe boundaries and handrails alongside planting that provides year-round interest without becoming high-maintenance. You’ll receive a tidy, well-managed build programme with transparent communication from start to finish. Being only 10 minutes away, Fine Landscaping is relied on for responsive aftercare and dependable workmanship.
We factor in Croydon’s varied plot sizes, from compact Victorian gardens to larger modern grounds. Access and parking can be tight around busy routes near the Whitgift Centre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions and drainage vary, so we specify robust sub-bases for paths and stable edging for raised beds. We also align designs with practical site management and any London Borough of Croydon requirements.

Costs depend on size, access and the level of accessibility required. In the Croydon area, small upgrades (paths, a few raised beds and seating) often start around £3,000–£8,000. Mid-sized refurbishments with sensory planting, handrails and new surfacing commonly fall between £10,000–£30,000. Larger schemes with multiple zones, shade structures and secure boundaries can be £35,000+. We provide itemised options to suit budgets.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on groundworks and how many features are included. A simple refresh with planting, raised beds and seating may be completed in under a week. More involved work—new pathways, drainage improvements, handrails, boundaries and shade structures—typically takes 2–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, safeguarding working hours, weather, and lead times for bespoke items.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, especially like-for-like paths, planting, raised beds and standard fencing. However, planning may be needed for taller boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, significant level changes, or if the building is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely issues early and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Croydon. Our designs prioritise safety and compliance from the outset.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping, including installed pathways, edging, raised bed structures and associated groundworks. The warranty covers defects in installation under normal use, giving you long-term confidence in safety-critical elements. Manufacturer warranties apply to products such as handrails, lighting or shade structures where relevant. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific specification and provide care guidance for best longevity.
We offer a wide range of options to suit mobility needs and maintenance levels. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or masonry raised beds, and robust metal or timber handrails. Sensory planting can include fragrant herbs, soft grasses and high-contrast colour schemes, with seating in sheltered spots and memory-garden features for reminiscence. We guide you through samples and layouts to balance safety, aesthetics and budget.
