A well-planned care home garden can improve wellbeing, encourage gentle activity and make visiting more enjoyable. In South Croydon, we design outdoor spaces that are simple to navigate, with clear routes, seating and safe boundaries. Whether you’re near South Croydon station or closer to Lloyd Park, we tailor layouts to the site and the residents’ needs. The result is a garden that looks premium while prioritising safety and ease of use.
The South Croydon area is known for leafy streets, excellent schools and generous plots, which often means scope for meaningful outdoor spaces. We regularly work around large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas that have been adapted for care use. Mature trees and sloping gardens are common around CR2, so we plan gradients, drainage and shade carefully. Our designs balance practicality with a warm, residential feel.
We start with a site visit and a listening-led design session, covering access needs, supervision lines and maintenance expectations. You’ll receive a clear proposal, material options and a programme that minimises disruption to residents. Our team is local (around 15 minutes away), reliable, and tidy on site, with strong attention to safeguarding and safe working areas. Every build is finished to a high standard and backed by our long-term warranty.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, we often encounter clay-heavy soils and pockets of slope, especially near green spaces like Croham Hurst Woods. We specify robust sub-bases, manage surface water, and choose planting that copes with seasonal swings. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and working zones to keep entrances clear. This is why care home gardens south croydon area projects benefit from a team that understands local constraints.

Costs vary with size, access requirements and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, small upgrades (seating, handrails, planting refresh) often start around £2,500–£7,500. Mid-sized schemes with new paths, raised beds and safe boundaries commonly fall between £10,000–£25,000. Larger, fully designed gardens with shade structures, lighting and multiple zones can be £30,000+. We provide itemised options to suit your budget.
Timescales depend on the scope and site conditions. A light refresh with planting and a few features may take 2–5 days. Installing new accessible pathways, raised beds and seating areas typically takes 2–4 weeks. Larger projects with groundworks, drainage, shade structures and multiple zones can take 5–8+ weeks. Weather, access for machinery, and safeguarding arrangements on site can also affect the programme.
Most garden works are permitted development, such as planting, patios, raised beds and many paths. However, permissions can apply for larger structures, significant changes to levels, works near boundaries, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. For care settings, we also consider safety and access standards. We’ll review the site, advise what’s likely required, and help you check any London Borough of Croydon constraints before work begins.
