A well-planned garden can transform day-to-day life for residents, visitors and staff. Our care home gardens crystal palace area projects focus on safety, independence and simple pleasure outdoors. From step-free routes to quiet seating, every element is designed around real routines and mobility needs. We regularly work near Crystal Palace Park and across SE19 and SE20.
Crystal Palace’s mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often brings sloping plots, mature trees and tight side access. We’re used to working on hilltop sites around Gipsy Hill and Upper Norwood, where levels and drainage need careful attention. Designs are tailored to create clear wayfinding, restful views and usable space in all seasons. Where gardens are compact, we maximise impact with raised beds and sensory planting.
We start with a site survey, access review and a practical design plan that prioritises risk reduction without feeling institutional. You’ll receive clear specifications, staged timelines and tidy working practices to minimise disruption. Our builds include safe boundaries, handrails and robust surfaces chosen for year-round grip. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 15 minutes away, so support and aftercare are close by.
Crystal Palace sites can be exposed and breezy, with varied soil and challenging levels near the ridge. We plan drainage, edging and surfaces to cope with runoff and leaf fall from mature trees. Access and parking can be tight around Anerley and Penge, so we schedule deliveries carefully and keep walkways clear. We also align work with requirements in care home gardens in London Borough of Bromley/Croydon/Lambeth/Southwark/Lewisham where boundaries and frontages differ.

Costs vary by access, levels and how many features are included. As a guide, a small upgrade (paths, a seating nook and planting) often starts around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-size refurbishments with raised beds, handrails and safer surfacing typically fall between £10,000–£25,000. Larger schemes with memory gardens, shade structures and extensive resurfacing can be £30,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a survey.
Most projects take 1–4 weeks on site, depending on scope. A simple path-and-planting refresh can be completed in a few days, while a full redesign with new levels, multiple seating areas and secure boundaries may take several weeks. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, drainage requirements, delivery access in SE19/SE20, and whether works must be phased around resident routines. We agree a programme and keep disruption low.
Most garden improvements—planting, raised beds, typical paths and seating—are usually permitted development. However, permissions can apply to higher fences, structures near boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, or significant changes to levels and drainage. If your site sits close to protected trees or has specific care facility requirements, extra checks may be needed. We review the constraints, advise on next steps, and can help prepare information for the relevant council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as failed installation, unstable edging, or movement caused by poor base preparation (subject to fair use and site conditions). Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like paving, lighting or shade structures. We also offer practical aftercare guidance for planting and surfaces to keep them safe and looking their best. Any snagging is handled promptly.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and the character of the site. Popular options include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or masonry raised beds, sensory planting palettes (lavender, rosemary, grasses), and sheltered seating with pergolas or sail shades. Memory gardens can include themed borders, simple wayfinding cues and familiar plants. We guide you through choices based on maintenance, slip resistance, durability and budget, then provide a clear specification.
