A well-planned front garden changes how your whole home looks and works, from parking to privacy. We deliver tailored front garden landscaping for CR2 properties, balancing practical access with planting that suits the street. Whether you’re near South Croydon station or walking distance to Lloyd Park, we design layouts that look tidy year-round. Expect crisp edging, clean lines and finishes that complement your façade.
South Croydon is known for leafy roads, excellent schools and generous plots, so front gardens often need to do more than simply “look nice”. We regularly work on large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas across Sanderstead, Purley and wider Croydon. Many homes benefit from regrading, improved drainage and clearer routes from pavement to porch. We also integrate secure boundaries and bin storage without making the frontage feel boxed-in.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule works to minimise disruption. Our team handles excavation, sub-bases, surfacing, planting and electrics for lighting, keeping the site safe and tidy. You’ll get straightforward communication, staged payments and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, premium materials and a finish that stays sharp.
Front gardens in the London Borough of Croydon often sit on sloping plots, so levels and water run-off need careful planning. We specify permeable surfacing where appropriate and build solid foundations to prevent settlement. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. Materials and detailing are chosen to suit South Croydon’s mix of Victorian villas and 1930s semis.

Costs vary with size, levels and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, a simple refresh (tidy-up, edging, new planting, small lawn) often starts around £1,500–£4,000. A new driveway and pathway with drainage can be £6,000–£15,000+. Full front garden transformations with walls, fencing, lighting and bespoke bin storage commonly range from £12,000–£30,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once we start on site. A planting-and-turf update may be completed in a few days, while a new driveway with excavation, sub-base, drainage and surfacing typically takes 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times, and whether we’re building walls, installing lighting, or regrading levels. We’ll provide a clear programme before work begins.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but there are key rules to follow. For example, new or replacement driveways over a certain size usually need permeable surfacing or suitable drainage to a soakaway rather than the road. Walls, railings and works near highways can also have restrictions, and conservation areas may add requirements. We check the relevant Croydon guidance and flag anything needing approval.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installed hard landscaping, such as driveways, pathways, walls and edging, when built to our specification. This covers defects caused by installation issues, including movement from inadequate sub-bases or poor laying. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. Planting is living material, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance to help it establish well.
We design to suit your home’s style and how you use the frontage. Popular choices include block paving or permeable resin for driveways, porcelain or sandstone for pathways, and brick or rendered walls to match existing details. Planting can range from evergreen structure to pollinator-friendly borders, with lawns or low-water groundcover. We also integrate lighting, fencing and bin storage so everything looks intentional and cohesive.
