Upper Norwood gardens often need smarter levels, better drainage and stronger boundaries to match the area’s sloping plots. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or heading towards Westow Park, we build outdoor spaces that look refined and work hard year-round. Our garden contracting service covers full builds, patios and decking, fencing and walls, planting, water features and clearance. You get one experienced team managing the job from first dig to final sweep.
As specialist garden contractors Upper Norwood area homeowners rely on, we’re used to Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions with long rear gardens and side returns. We design around existing brickwork, mature trees and heritage details, keeping the character while modernising the layout. If you’re in SE19 and want a low-maintenance courtyard, family lawn, or entertaining terrace, we tailor the build to your lifestyle. Practical access planning matters here too, especially where parking is limited.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear scope of works, then provide a detailed proposal with materials and programme. Our team handles hard landscaping and soft landscaping in-house, coordinating deliveries and keeping disruption down. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, neat workmanship and straightforward communication. All installations are completed to a high standard and backed by our workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
Upper Norwood’s hilltop setting can mean windy corners, mixed soils and gardens with significant changes in level. We design retaining details, sub-bases and drainage to suit the site rather than forcing a flat-plan solution. Access can be tight around period conversions, so we plan waste removal, deliveries and parking to keep neighbours happy. As garden contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we also factor in local guidance where boundaries, trees or front gardens are involved.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification of finishes. For Upper Norwood projects, garden clearance may start from £400–£1,200, while a new patio or deck is often £2,500–£8,000 depending on size and materials. Fencing and walls commonly range from £1,200–£6,000. Full garden builds with hard and soft landscaping typically sit between £12,000–£45,000+ for SE19 gardens.
Most patio, fencing or small redesign projects take 3–10 working days. Medium builds with new levels, steps, planting and lighting often run 2–4 weeks. Larger full garden builds can take 4–8+ weeks, especially if there are retaining walls, drainage runs or bespoke joinery. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for stone, timber or specialist features.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as patios, decking at low height, planting and like-for-like boundary repairs. Permission may be needed for taller boundary walls or fences, major changes to levels, works near protected trees, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Croydon guidance before work starts, so there are no surprises.
