Upper Norwood’s hilltop setting and period streets deserve gardens that are as practical as they are uplifting. We design and build outdoor spaces for care settings close to Crystal Palace Park and Westow Park, with clear routes and restful places to pause. From accessible pathways to shaded seating areas, every detail supports safer movement and relaxed time outdoors. Sensory planting and memory gardens help residents connect with familiar scents, textures and seasons.
Many properties around SE19 are Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with stepped entrances, narrow side access and mature boundaries. We plan layouts that work with existing levels, making routes smoother with handrails and safe, non-slip surfaces. Raised beds can be set at comfortable working heights for residents and staff, while planting schemes are chosen for low maintenance and year-round interest. Our designs respect the character of Upper Norwood while improving day-to-day usability.
We start with a site visit to understand access, supervision sightlines, and how the garden is used throughout the week. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering materials, safety features and a practical maintenance plan. Our team works tidily, keeps routes safe during the build, and communicates with managers and families where needed. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, so support and aftercare are never far.
Upper Norwood’s slopes and elevated plots often need careful level changes, drainage planning and robust edging. Parking and deliveries can be tighter near busier routes by Upper Norwood Library, so we schedule materials and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider conservation-style details where period properties set the tone, matching brickwork, paving colours and rail finishes. For care home gardens in London Borough of Croydon, we build with durability and straightforward maintenance in mind.

Costs vary with access, levels and the safety features required. As a guide, a small upgrade with new seating, planting and minor path repairs may be £3,000–£8,000. A mid-size scheme with accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails and lighting is often £10,000–£25,000. Larger rebuilds including drainage, new paving, shade structures and secure boundaries can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Timescales depend on the scope and how easily we can access the site. A light refresh (sensory planting, raised beds, seating) typically takes 3–7 working days. Installing new accessible pathways, handrails and boundary upgrades usually takes 2–4 weeks. Full redesigns with level changes, drainage and multiple zones can take 4–8+ weeks. Weather, approvals and bespoke joinery can extend the programme.
Most garden improvements—planting, raised beds, paths, seating areas and typical fencing—are usually permitted development. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, tall boundary treatments, lighting, or structures such as larger pergolas and shade canopies. We’ll flag anything that may need consent and can help you gather details for Croydon requirements. We also check site safety and access rules before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, steps, handrails fixings and built structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. Planting is living material, so coverage depends on season and care, but we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance plans. Any snagging issues are addressed promptly.
We tailor designs to mobility needs and supervision requirements. Popular options include resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, timber or brick raised beds, fragrant sensory planting, and sheltered seating areas with pergolas or sail shades. Memory gardens can include themed borders, familiar cottage plants and clear wayfinding. We’ll help you choose durable, easy-clean finishes, and specify safe boundaries, gates and handrails that suit the property style.
