Fine Landscaping delivers tailored garden design for homeowners across Norbury, from streets near Norbury station to plots close to Norbury Park. We create cohesive layouts that balance entertaining space, storage and planting. Whether you want a calm retreat or a family-friendly garden, we design with year-round interest and low-maintenance options. Every plan is built around how you actually use your outdoor space.
Norbury has a mix of Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and Victorian conversions, often with long rear gardens and side access that varies by street. We regularly redesign narrow lawns, uneven levels and tired patio areas to make them feel larger and more usable. If you’re in Streatham Vale or Thornton Heath, we’ll factor in privacy, overlooking and practical routes from kitchen to garden. Our designs suit both traditional architecture and contemporary extensions.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear design brief, then we develop concept options before detailing planting, materials and lighting. You’ll receive a structured design pack, and we can take it through to installation if you want one team accountable from start to finish. We’re transparent on costs, keep disruption controlled, and share realistic timelines from the outset. Local homeowners choose us for dependable communication and designs that look great long after handover.
Working in the London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to Norbury’s varied ground conditions and the drainage challenges that come with compacted lawns and older patios. Parking and access can be tight around Norbury High Street, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and build sequencing carefully. Many SW16 gardens have long boundaries and mature trees, so we design around shade, roots and privacy. If you’re in Pollards Hill, we’ll also consider levels and sightlines to keep the garden feeling open.

For garden design in Norbury, design-only fees typically range from £500 to £2,500, depending on garden size, complexity and whether you want extras like 3D visualisation, lighting design or a full planting plan. If you choose a complete design-and-build project, most homeowners invest around £5,000 to £25,000, influenced by paving, walls, drainage, decking, and any water features.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks from start on site to completion, depending on scope and weather. A simple refresh with new paving and planting can be quicker, while redesigns involving levels, drainage, lighting and bespoke features take longer. Lead times for materials and specialist items can also affect the schedule. We provide a staged programme so you know what’s happening week by week.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, planting and most fences, but there are important exceptions. Rules can apply to raised platforms, boundary treatments, drainage to the public highway, and listed buildings or conservation considerations. In the London Borough of Croydon we’ll flag likely constraints early and advise if you need to contact the council or submit an application before work begins.
Yes. When we install the garden, our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty covering installation quality for hard landscaping elements such as paving, walls, steps and edging (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting, composite decking or specialist materials. We also provide care guidance for planting and can recommend aftercare visits to help new plants establish well.
We can design everything from contemporary porcelain patios to natural stone paving, brickwork that complements period homes, timber or composite decking, and structured planting with evergreens and seasonal colour. Popular upgrades include integrated garden lighting, pergolas, seating areas, and compact water features for sound and movement. We’ll guide you through options based on budget, maintenance preferences and how you want to use the space year-round.
