From Purley Cross to Purley Oaks, gardens here often need smart zoning for family life, entertaining and privacy. Our designs balance structure and softness—hard landscaping layouts, planting plans and lighting that looks good year-round. If your plot slopes towards Riddlesdown or sits behind mature trees, we’ll design around levels, shade and drainage. You’ll receive a plan you can build in phases or as a complete transformation.
Purley’s large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes suit timeless materials and confident planting. We create front gardens that improve kerb appeal and rear gardens that feel like an extra room. Whether you’re in Kenley, Sanderstead or Coulsdon, we tailor layouts to plot width, privacy needs and how you use the space. Our approach keeps proportions right, so patios, lawns and borders don’t fight for attention.
We start with a measured survey and a design consultation, then develop concept options before moving to detailed drawings. You can add 3D visualisation, lighting design and water feature concepts to help you commit with confidence. We specify materials, levels and planting so your build runs smoothly and budgets stay controlled. Local homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty on installed hard landscaping.
Purley gardens can be sloped, with clay-heavy soils and pockets of shade from established trees near Riddlesdown. We design drainage falls, steps and retaining details to suit these conditions, and we plan planting that copes with summer dry spells. Access and parking can be tighter around Purley Way and busier routes, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. As a team experienced in garden design in London Borough of Croydon, we also consider boundary treatments and sightlines typical of CR8 plots.

For Garden Design in Purley, design-only packages typically range from £500–£2,500, depending on garden size, complexity and whether you want extras such as 3D visualisation, lighting design or a detailed planting plan. If you proceed to a full build, most complete projects fall around £5,000–£25,000, influenced by levels, paving choices, walls, drainage and bespoke features like water elements.
Most projects run 2–8 weeks from the start of on-site work, with the timeline shaped by access, weather, ground conditions and the amount of hard landscaping. A straightforward patio-and-planting refresh can be completed sooner, while sloped gardens needing steps, retaining, drainage and lighting usually take longer. Design development and approvals happen before the build, helping the installation phase stay efficient and predictable.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, but there are important exceptions—especially for significant changes in levels, boundary walls/fences, structures, and work near trees that may be protected. Drainage rules and paving choices can also matter where surface water runoff is a concern. We’ll flag likely permissions early and can advise on checks with the London Borough of Croydon, so your design is practical and compliant before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on installed hard landscaping, covering workmanship on items such as paving, steps, edging and retaining details when installed to our specification. We also supply clear care guidance for planting and lawns, because living materials respond to weather and maintenance. If an issue arises with the hardscape installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
Homeowners often choose porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer traditional look, and composite or hardwood decking for warm seating areas. We regularly design with pergolas, built-in planters, discreet garden lighting, and water features such as rills or bubbling bowls. Planting can range from structured evergreens to cottage-style borders, depending on upkeep. We help you compare finishes, slip resistance and long-term care before you commit.
