A well-built edge stops gravel migrating, keeps mulch in place and makes mowing far simpler. We install precise borders across Coulsdon, including Old Coulsdon and CR5 homes near Farthing Downs. Whether you want a crisp lawn line or a raised bed definition, we set levels carefully for a professional look. The result is a garden that looks tidier all year round.
Coulsdon’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and newer developments often comes with generous front gardens, sloping lawns and long side access. We design edging that suits each layout, from subtle metal lines to more substantial brick or stone borders. If you’re updating planting around patios or drive edges, we’ll match materials and colours to existing finishes. Our recommendations balance appearance, durability and ongoing upkeep.
We start with a site visit to confirm lines, curves, heights and drainage, then prepare a solid base for long-term stability. Every run is measured, pinned or haunched correctly, and finished with clean joins and consistent levels. We keep disruption low, work tidily, and aim to complete most installations within one day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear pricing, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Coulsdon’s semi-rural setting brings chalky soils and occasional slopes, especially near Happy Valley and Coulsdon Common. We set edging with the right depth and anchoring to prevent lifting or movement in dry spells. Access and parking can vary between older streets and modern developments, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise inconvenience. We also keep an eye on boundary lines and public-facing front gardens common in the London Borough of Croydon.

Garden edging in the Coulsdon area typically costs £15–£50 per metre, depending on the material and ground preparation needed. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while stone, brick and sleeper edging sit higher due to heavier materials and more labour. Most projects come to around £300–£1,200 in total. Curves, steps, excavation depth and waste removal can also affect the final figure.
Most garden edging jobs are completed in one day, especially for straightforward lawn and bed borders. Larger gardens, complex curves, raised edging, or significant excavation can extend the timescale. Brick and stone edging may take longer than metal or plastic because bases and haunching need more careful setting. We’ll confirm the schedule after checking access, levels, and whether any old edging needs removing first.
In most cases, garden edging is permitted work and doesn’t require planning permission, particularly when it’s within your property boundary and not creating a substantial wall. However, rules can differ if you’re altering front boundaries, working near a highway, or your home is subject to specific restrictions. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can advise on sensible heights and placements to stay compliant in the London Borough of Croydon.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our garden edging installations, covering workmanship and installation-related movement where the edging has been fitted to our specification. This includes issues such as loosening, lifting or separation caused by inadequate base preparation. Normal wear, accidental damage, or changes made by others aren’t covered. We’ll also explain simple aftercare steps to help your edging stay straight, secure and looking sharp for years.
We offer metal edging for a clean, modern line; brick edging for a traditional finish; and stone edging for a premium, natural look. Sleeper edging is popular for raised beds and level changes, while plastic edging suits budget-friendly borders. Decorative borders can add detail around planting and paths. We’ll help you choose based on your garden style, soil conditions, desired height, and how you want the edge to look alongside paving and planting.
