From Shirley Windmill to the edges of Addington Hills, gardens here benefit from well-planned planting that suits a leafy suburban setting. Fine Landscaping creates flower beds that bring seasonal colour without becoming a chore. Whether you want a crisp front border or a fuller back-garden scheme, we combine bed creation, soil preparation and planting design to match your space. We work across CR0 and nearby Addiscombe and Croydon.
Shirley’s 1930s semis often have generous front gardens and side access, while detached homes and modern developments can need smarter layouts for privacy and kerb appeal. We design beds that complement period brickwork, rendered finishes and contemporary paving alike. If you’re near Shirley Park Golf Club or Trinity School, we’ll plan planting that looks tidy year-round and copes with family use. Our schemes balance perennials, annuals and bulbs for reliable interest across the seasons.
We start with a site visit to assess light, drainage and existing soil, then set out bed lines and levels for clean edges. Next comes soil improvement, mulching and careful planting at the right spacing, so beds fill out properly rather than looking sparse. You’ll get clear aftercare guidance and optional maintenance to keep everything thriving. Local homeowners choose us for punctual workmanship, neat finishes and planting that performs as promised.
Gardens across the London Borough of Croydon can vary from free-draining slopes near Addington Hills to heavier soils in more sheltered streets. We adjust soil preparation, compost blends and mulching depth to suit your plot. Access around 1930s semis can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep paths clear. Where parking is limited, we schedule efficiently and keep the site tidy throughout.

Costs vary with bed size, access, soil condition and plant choice. As a guide, small bed creation and planting often starts around £500–£1,200, while medium borders are commonly £1,200–£3,000. Larger redesigns with significant soil improvement, edging and a fuller planting scheme can be £3,000–£8,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site visit in CR0.
Most small beds can be created and planted in 1 day. Medium borders typically take 1–3 days, especially if we’re improving compacted soil or reshaping levels. Larger gardens or multiple beds may take 3–7 days, depending on access, waste removal and the complexity of the planting design. Weather, plant availability and whether you want irrigation or edging can also affect timescales.
In most cases, creating or improving flower beds is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. Restrictions can apply if you’re altering boundary walls, working close to protected trees, or if your property is subject to specific conditions (for example on newer developments). We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on good practice around roots, drainage and levels so your garden works comply with local expectations.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which applies to installation elements such as bed formation, edging we install and ground preparation carried out by our team. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on watering, weather and aftercare; however, we select robust varieties and provide clear care instructions. If anything looks wrong soon after installation, we’ll inspect and advise promptly.
We can create crisp, formal borders or softer, naturalistic beds, depending on your style and maintenance preferences. Popular options include perennial frameworks with seasonal bulbs, annual colour pockets, pollinator-friendly planting, and evergreen structure for winter interest. Mulch choices can include composted bark, woodchip or decorative finishes where suitable. We’ll recommend plant palettes based on light levels, soil and the look of your home in the Shirley area.
