The Shirley area includes plenty of 1930s semis with long plots, detached houses with side access, and newer developments that need modern, low-maintenance layouts. We regularly upgrade tired lawns, uneven paving and dated boundaries into practical zones for dining, play and planting. If your garden in CR0 has drainage issues or shaded corners, we’ll plan around them from day one. We also work across nearby Addiscombe, Addington and West Wickham.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a design-led plan, then schedule the build in clear stages. Hard landscaping is installed with proper sub-bases, falls and drainage, followed by soft landscaping and planting at the right time of year. You’ll get straightforward updates, a clean site at the end of each day, and a handover you can follow. Clients choose our garden contractors Shirley area team for reliability, finish quality and aftercare advice.
Shirley gardens vary from exposed, higher ground near Addington Hills to more sheltered streets with mature trees. We factor in clay-heavy soils, shade patterns and runoff so patios, lawns and borders perform well through winter. Access can be tight on some 1930s drives, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. As garden contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we also keep an eye on boundary heights and any local restrictions that may apply.

As a guide, garden clearance can start from £300–£900, while a new patio is often £120–£200 per m² depending on paving choice and groundwork. Full garden builds commonly range from £8,000–£35,000+.

Most projects take 1–6 weeks. A straightforward patio and fencing refresh may be completed in 3–7 working days, while a full rebuild with levels, drainage, walls and planting can run 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, access for machinery, curing time for concrete, and material lead times. We agree a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding decking at low level, or installing standard fences. However, rules can change for front gardens, drainage to the highway, higher boundary treatments, or if your property is listed or affected by specific constraints. We’ll flag anything that may need consent and can advise on permeable surfacing and compliant drainage before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural hard landscaping elements such as sub-bases, laying methods and installation standards for patios, walls and decking frameworks (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply to many materials we supply, and we pass those on where relevant. We also explain care requirements for timber, joints and drainage to keep everything performing well.
We can design to suit traditional 1930s homes or a clean, modern look. Popular choices include porcelain paving, sandstone, and granite setts; composite or hardwood decking; slatted or closeboard fencing; brick or rendered walls; and planting schemes with evergreen structure plus seasonal colour. We’ll help you compare durability, slip resistance, maintenance and budget, then sample materials so you can choose confidently.
