Norwood Grove benefits from excellent green space nearby, and we bring that same sense of wellbeing into outdoor areas for care settings. From routes that feel secure to quiet corners for conversation, our gardens are planned to support daily routines. We regularly work close to Norwood Grove Park and Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, so we understand what local clients expect from a premium finish. Every design balances independence with safety.
In Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and South Norwood, outdoor spaces often sit behind Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions, with levels, narrow side access or older hard landscaping. We adapt layouts to make movement simpler, adding handrails where needed and creating turning space for wheelchairs and walkers. Raised beds reduce bending and make gardening activities more inclusive. Shade structures and seating areas are positioned to suit sun patterns and supervision lines.
We start with a site visit and a clear access and risk review, then provide a detailed plan covering pathways, safe boundaries and planting. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and clear communication throughout. Our team is based just 15 minutes away, so aftercare and snagging are handled quickly. Clients trust us for consistent workmanship, transparent scope, and a finish designed to last.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, we often encounter sloping plots, compact rear gardens and shared access, especially around SE19. We plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to keep neighbours and residents comfortable. Drainage and surface choices are matched to existing levels and older sub-bases found around period properties. Our designs also consider ongoing maintenance so the garden stays safe and attractive year-round.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a small upgrade (path repairs, a few raised beds and planting) often starts from £3,000–£8,000. Mid-size refurbishments with new accessible pathways, seating areas, handrails and safe boundaries commonly fall around £10,000–£25,000. Larger schemes with shade structures, memory gardens and full resurfacing can be £30,000–£60,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on how much hard landscaping is involved. A light refresh with planting, minor path works and seating can be completed in a few days. Full redesigns with new accessible routes, drainage adjustments, raised beds, handrails and boundaries typically take 2–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing time for bases, and lead times for bespoke shade structures or railings.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paths, adding raised beds, planting and most seating areas. However, permissions can apply for higher boundary treatments, significant level changes, works close to highways, or if the building is listed or in a conservation area. We check the site context, advise on likely requirements, and can help you prepare information for Croydon Council if an application or consent is needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, including properly constructed bases, edging, paving and retaining details, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products such as handrails, shade structures and lighting where specified. Planting is living material, so we advise on care and can offer maintenance plans; we also return promptly to address snagging after completion.
We tailor options to mobility needs, supervision and the character of the site. Popular choices include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, brick or timber raised beds, and sensory planting with herbs, grasses and high-contrast colour themes. Seating can be backed benches, companion seats or circular social areas, with pergolas or sail shades for shelter. We present samples, explain slip resistance and maintenance, and design memory gardens to suit residents’ preferences.
