Response within 24 hours
Crisp edging instantly makes a garden look finished—whether you’re separating lawn from borders or keeping gravel paths tidy. We install durable garden edging across Croydon, including CR0 and CR2, with careful attention to levels and drainage. If you’re near East Croydon station or the Whitgift Centre, we can plan access and parking so the job runs smoothly. Expect straight lines, tight curves and a border that stays put season after season.
The Croydon area has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments, and each needs a slightly different approach. Older gardens often have established roots and uneven ground that benefit from stronger restraints and precise setting-out. Modern plots can be compact, so we design edging that maximises usable space and keeps mowing simple. Our garden edging in London Borough of Croydon is tailored to the layout, soil and style of your home.
We start with a site visit to measure runs, confirm materials and agree the finish—flush, raised or mowing-strip friendly. Next, we excavate neatly, install a stable sub-base where needed, and set edging to consistent height and alignment. We leave the site clean, reinstate borders or gravel, and check everything is secure before we go. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a clear 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, ground conditions vary from compacted clay to lighter, free-draining soils, so we adjust excavation depth and bedding accordingly. Many streets around Addiscombe, South Croydon and Waddon have limited parking and narrow side access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also match edging styles to local property types—clean metal lines for modern builds, or brick and stone for period homes. Where levels are tricky, we set out with string lines and laser levels for a consistent finish.

Most projects in Croydon fall between £15–£50 per metre, depending on the edging type and the amount of groundwork required. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while stone, brick and sleeper edging tend to cost more due to materials and labour. Typical total costs are around £300–£1,200 for an average garden, influenced by length, curves, access and disposal.
Most garden edging jobs are completed in 1 day, especially for straightforward runs along lawns, borders or gravel paths. Time can increase if you’re choosing heavy materials like stone or brick, if there are lots of curves and junctions, or if we need to remove old edging and roots. Restricted access, multiple levels and extra reinstatement (turfing or gravel) can also extend the schedule.
In most cases, garden edging is classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary walls, working near a listed building, or your property is in a conservation area. If edging forms part of a wider scheme that changes levels significantly or affects drainage, it may need extra consideration. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise before work starts.
Yes—our garden edging installations come with a 10-year warranty for workmanship. This covers issues such as movement caused by incorrect bedding, poor fixing or inadequate ground preparation. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme ground movement from external causes, or changes made by others after installation. We also provide care guidance to help your edging stay aligned and looking sharp for years.
We install metal edging for clean, modern lines; stone edging for a premium, natural finish; and brick edging to complement period properties. Sleeper edging is popular for raised borders and level changes, while plastic edging suits budget-friendly, hidden restraints. Decorative borders can add detail around beds and paths. We’ll help you choose based on garden style, durability needs, mowing preferences and how you want the edge to look from the house.
