A well-planned care home garden can reduce anxiety, encourage gentle movement and make outdoor time easier for everyone. We design spaces around clear routes, safe boundaries and seating that invites conversation. In Purley, we’re often working near Purley Cross and along routes leading towards Riddlesdown, so we plan access and deliveries with minimal disruption. Every layout is tailored to your residents’ needs, from memory prompts to shaded rest points.
The Purley area includes large detached houses, 1930s properties and well-kept period homes, and many care settings share similar plot sizes and mature planting. We’re used to working with established lawns, hedges and tree canopies that need careful protection during construction. Whether your site is in CR8 or nearby Kenley, we can adapt designs to sloping gardens and tight side access. The result is a garden that feels familiar, domestic and reassuring rather than institutional.
Our process starts with a site visit, risk-aware design and a clear plan for accessibility, drainage and maintenance. We install surfaces, handrails and boundaries to consistent standards, then finish with planting designed for colour, scent and seasonal interest. You’ll receive a written scope, tidy working practices and regular updates throughout the build. Many clients choose us for care home gardens purley area because we combine premium workmanship with practical, resident-first design.
Purley’s gardens often sit on chalky North Downs soils, which can drain quickly and affect planting choices. We specify drought-tolerant schemes where appropriate and build in irrigation options for raised beds. Access and parking can be constrained near Purley Way and busier junctions, so we schedule deliveries carefully and keep walkways clear. For care home gardens in London Borough of Croydon, we also consider boundary treatments and sightlines to support safeguarding.

Costs vary with size, access requirements and the level of construction. As a guide, small upgrades (paths, a few raised beds and seating) often start around £5,000–£12,000. Mid-sized redesigns with accessible pathways, handrails, lighting and sensory planting are commonly £15,000–£35,000. Larger schemes including multiple zones, shade structures and robust boundary works can be £40,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for smaller upgrades and 3–6 weeks for a full redesign, depending on groundworks and the complexity of access features. Timescales are influenced by drainage needs, levelling, curing time for paving, and lead times for bespoke handrails or shade structures. We agree a programme in advance and plan noisier works around resident routines wherever possible to reduce disruption.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paths, adding raised beds, and most planting. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary heights, adding substantial shade structures, installing lighting, or working near protected trees. In the London Borough of Croydon we’ll check constraints, advise on any permissions, and liaise with the relevant parties if needed. Our aim is to keep the project compliant and straightforward.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for qualifying hard landscaping elements, such as paving installation, edging, retaining details and built structures, when maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products (for example, paving or shade components) and are passed on to you. We also offer a practical handover, care guidance and prompt snagging support. This gives you confidence the garden remains safe, stable and presentable.
We can tailor the garden to your residents and staffing needs, from looped pathways to quiet corners and memory-garden features. Popular options include resin-bound or porcelain paving for smooth access, timber or composite raised beds, stainless or powder-coated handrails, and pergolas or sail shades. Sensory planting might include lavender, rosemary, grasses and high-contrast colour blocks. We’ll recommend options based on maintenance, slip resistance, budget and the site’s light levels.
