Upper Norwood gardens often deserve planting that matches the area’s period character and elevated views. We create and refresh beds for homes around SE19, from borders near Westow Park to front gardens by Upper Norwood Library. Whether you want a crisp, architectural look or a softer cottage feel, we plan for colour across the seasons. Our work includes bed creation, soil preparation, planting design and mulching for a clean finish.
Many properties here are Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and well-kept period conversions with mature boundaries and established trees. We design planting that copes with shade, root competition and exposed hilltop conditions without looking sparse. If you’re in the Crystal Palace or Norwood New Town side streets, we can also improve narrow front beds to boost kerb appeal. The result is a scheme that suits your home’s proportions and your maintenance preferences.
We start with a site visit, discuss your style and how you use the space, then propose a planting palette that balances perennials, annuals and bulbs. Soil is improved with the right conditioners, levels are corrected, and planting is set out for strong spacing and future growth. We work neatly, protect paths and features, and leave beds mulched to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. Local homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and long-lasting results.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon can vary from free-draining slopes to heavier pockets where water sits after rain. Upper Norwood’s hilltop position can mean wind exposure, so we select sturdier plants and stake where needed. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads near Crystal Palace Park, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. If your home is a period conversion with limited outdoor space, we maximise impact with layered planting and smart edging.

Costs vary with bed size, access, soil condition and plant choice. As a guide, refreshing an existing border with soil improvement, planting and mulching often starts around £350–£900. Creating a new bed with edging, excavation, soil preparation and a fuller planting scheme is commonly £900–£2,500+. Larger gardens or premium plant palettes can be more. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most refresh projects take half a day to one day, depending on weeding, soil improvement and the amount of planting. New bed creation typically takes 1–2 days, especially if excavation, levelling or edging is required. Larger schemes can run 2–4 days. Timescales are affected by access in SE19 streets, waste removal, the complexity of the planting design, and whether we’re working around established trees or features.
In most cases, flower bed creation and planting are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works involve significant changes to walls, railings, hard landscaping or drainage. We’ll ask the right questions at survey stage and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Croydon. If needed, we’ll help you plan a compliant approach.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship related to installed landscaping elements where applicable (such as edging and bed construction). Planting is living material, so performance depends on weather and ongoing care, but we only use quality stock and plant correctly prepared soil. We’ll also give clear aftercare guidance for watering, feeding and pruning. If an issue arises due to installation, we’ll put it right.
We can create formal or informal beds with clean lines or softer curves, using options such as steel edging, brick edging, timber sleepers or natural stone setts. Planting can focus on pollinator-friendly perennials, bold annual colour, spring bulbs, evergreen structure, or low-maintenance schemes with repeated planting blocks. We’ll match colours to your home and choose plants for sun, shade or wind exposure. You’ll get a plan that suits your budget and upkeep level.
