Sanderstead homeowners often want a garden that feels calm, structured and easy to enjoy year-round. Whether you’re close to Sanderstead Recreation Ground or walking distance from All Saints Church, we create tailored layouts that balance planting, entertaining space and privacy. Our designs consider sightlines from key rooms, sunlight patterns and how you move through the garden. The result is a scheme that looks considered from day one and matures beautifully.
The Sanderstead area is known for larger detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, many with generous plots. We regularly design for families who want safe lawns, discreet storage and smarter transitions between patio, planting and pathways. If you’re on CR2 and looking to upgrade an ageing garden or start from a blank canvas, we’ll match the design to your architecture and lifestyle. We also work across nearby Purley, Selsdon and Hamsey Green when you need the same level of detail.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear brief, then moves into concept layouts and refined design drawings. You can add planting plans, lighting design, water features and 3D visualisation to help you make confident decisions before any build begins. We provide transparent design fees, realistic budgets and a staged plan so you know what happens next. Local homeowners trust us for tidy working practices, dependable scheduling and a finish that stands up to real use.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon can vary from free-draining slopes to heavier clay pockets, so we specify planting and drainage accordingly. In Sanderstead, access can be tight on some drives, so we plan materials handling, parking and waste removal early. We also design with mature trees and boundary screening in mind, especially near green spaces such as Sanderstead Plantation. The outcome is a scheme that’s buildable, compliant and suited to local property styles.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Garden Design in Sanderstead, design-only fees typically range from £500–£2,500, depending on garden size and the level of detail. A full build budget is commonly £5,000–£25,000, influenced by paving, retaining walls, lighting, drainage and planting maturity. We’ll help you prioritise where to spend for the biggest impact, and can phase the project if you want to spread costs.
Most projects take around 2–8 weeks from starting on site, but timings vary with complexity. Larger gardens, level changes, bespoke joinery, water features and extensive hard landscaping can extend the programme. Weather, access constraints and lead times for specialist materials also affect duration. We provide a realistic schedule before work begins and keep you updated as each stage is completed.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, planting and like-for-like boundary changes, but there are exceptions. Raised decking, significant level alterations, new walls/fences over certain heights, listed buildings and conservation considerations can trigger permissions. In the London Borough of Croydon we’ll flag likely requirements early and can guide you on what to check before construction, so you avoid delays and compliance issues.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering issues arising from installation defects under normal use. This typically includes structural failures in paving bases, retaining elements and built features where we’ve supplied and installed to specification. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently, but we’ll advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance to protect your investment.
We design with a wide range of finishes, from porcelain paving and natural sandstone to gravel, resin-bound paths and timber or composite decking. Popular features include stepped terraces, pergolas, built-in seating, contemporary water bowls and smart garden lighting. Planting can be formal and architectural or softer and wildlife-friendly, depending on your taste. We’ll present options that suit your home, budget and maintenance preferences.
