Response within 24 hours
Norwood Grove homeowners often want a front garden that looks refined but works hard every day. Whether you’re close to Norwood Grove Park or walking routes towards Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, we create tidy entrances with clear paths, robust boundaries and planting that suits the aspect. Our team can integrate driveways, lawns and lighting so everything feels cohesive. The result is a front garden that’s easy to maintain and makes your property stand out on the street.
The Norwood Grove area includes Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and well-kept period conversions, each with different frontage widths and levels. We’re used to working with raised thresholds, bay windows and narrow side access, common across SE19. Materials and detailing are chosen to complement period brickwork and railings, while improving drainage and day-to-day usability. If you’re in Crystal Palace or South Norwood, we’ll tailor the look so it fits the local streetscape.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal covering layout, levels and finishes. Installation is planned to minimise disruption, with careful protection of entrances and a clean, organised worksite. Every build is completed to specification, with transparent communication and staged sign-off as we go. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, high-quality workmanship and a finish that lasts.
As specialists in front garden landscaping in London Borough of Croydon, we plan for the area’s mixed levels, clay-heavy patches and surface-water run-off. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider conservation sensitivities around period homes, keeping materials and boundary details in keeping. Where needed, we incorporate permeable driveway options to support compliant drainage.

Costs vary by size, levels and what’s included. As a guide, a simple refresh with planting, lawn work and minor path repairs may start around £1,500–£3,500. A new pathway, lighting and fencing often lands in the £4,000–£9,000 range. Full front garden transformations with driveway, walls and bespoke bin storage commonly sit between £10,000–£25,000+. We’ll provide an itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days depending on access and scope. A small job such as re-edging beds, laying turf and refreshing planting can be completed in 2–4 days. Driveway installations, new walls, steps and lighting typically require 1–3 weeks, especially if groundworks or drainage are needed. Timescales are affected by curing times, weather, materials lead times and whether you need multiple trades on site.
Many front garden changes are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Driveways over five square metres should use permeable surfacing or drain to a permeable area within your boundary, otherwise permission may be required. New walls, railings or gates can also be restricted by height limits, and some streets may have conservation considerations. We’ll advise on the rules, check constraints and recommend compliant materials and drainage details before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving, driveway sub-bases, walls and installed edging, subject to normal use and maintenance. This covers issues arising from installation defects, for example movement due to incorrect base preparation. Materials are covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable. Soft landscaping (plants and turf) is more seasonal, but we’ll advise on aftercare and can arrange follow-up visits if required.
For period homes, popular choices include clay pavers, natural stone setts, porcelain paths with contrasting borders, and low brick walls with railings. Planting often combines evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus low-maintenance grasses and shrubs. Lighting can be subtle: recessed step lights, spike spots for feature planting, or warm bollards along paths. We’ll propose options that suit your property style, budget, drainage needs and the level of upkeep you want.
