A well-planned front garden makes coming home easier and your property look instantly cared for. We design and build driveways, pathways, lawns, planting, walls, fencing and lighting to suit how you live. If you’re near Addiscombe tram stop or walking routes by Ashburton Park, we’ll create an entrance that feels tidy, welcoming and secure. Every scheme is tailored to your home and the street scene in CR0.
Addiscombe has a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different front garden proportions and levels. We’re used to narrow side access, bay-fronted façades and sloping drives that need careful falls and drainage. Whether you want a low-maintenance look or a greener frontage with seasonal interest, our front garden landscaping Addiscombe area service balances style with everyday function. We also integrate practical details like bin stores and safe lighting without cluttering the frontage.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a written scope so you know exactly what’s included. Our team handles groundworks, edging, paving, planting and finishing details to a premium standard, keeping the site clean and neighbours considered. You’ll get guidance on materials, drainage and lighting placement, plus aftercare advice for lawns and planting. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, front gardens often have mixed ground conditions and variable levels, so we assess sub-bases and drainage carefully. Parking and access can be tight around East Croydon and Addiscombe streets, so deliveries and waste removal are planned to minimise disruption. We also consider street-facing design choices—wall heights, railings and planting—so your frontage suits neighbouring properties. Our builds are tailored to CR0 layouts, from compact terraces to wider 1930s plots.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple refresh (tidy-up, new planting, edging and small path repairs) can start from £1,500–£3,500. New paving or pathways often fall around £80–£150 per m² depending on materials and groundwork. Driveways with proper sub-base and drainage are commonly £4,500–£12,000+, with walls, fencing, lighting and bin storage added to suit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once we start on site. A small front garden with new planting, turf and a short path may be completed in 2–4 days, while a driveway, walls and lighting can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, drainage requirements, curing time for concrete, and whether bespoke items (gates, railings, bin stores) are being fabricated.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around surface water drainage and materials. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway over 5m², using permeable paving or directing runoff to a permeable area is usually required. Walls, fences and gates can also have height limits, especially near highways. We’ll advise what applies and can help you check Croydon guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, covering issues such as sinking due to inadequate sub-base, poor jointing, or installation defects. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. Planting and lawns are living elements, so coverage depends on season and aftercare, but we’ll give clear maintenance guidance and can return for follow-up visits to keep everything establishing well.
Popular choices include block paving or permeable setts for driveways, porcelain or sandstone for paths, and brick or rendered walls to complement period façades. For planting, we often use structured evergreens with seasonal perennials, plus low hedging for definition. Lighting options range from discreet bollards to step and wall lights, and bin storage can be timber slatted, composite or brick-built. We’ll show samples and match finishes to your home.
