Untidy lawn edges and spreading gravel can make even a well-kept garden look scruffy. Our edging work creates crisp boundaries between lawns, beds and paths, helping everything stay where it should. We regularly work around CR7, including properties near Thornton Heath station and Broad Green. The result is a smarter look and less time spent re-cutting edges.
Thornton Heath’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often have compact front gardens and long rear plots that benefit from strong, straight borders. We design edging that suits period features such as brickwork, bay windows and traditional paths, while keeping access practical for bins and bikes. Whether you’re refreshing a small frontage in Selhurst or a family garden near Grangewood Park, we tailor the finish to the property style. Good edging also helps define planting zones without shrinking usable space.
We start with a quick site check, then set out lines and levels so the edging looks intentional—not wavy or uneven. Materials are installed on a solid base where needed, with careful haunching and tidy joins for long-term stability. We protect existing paving and lawns, remove waste, and leave clean edges ready for mowing or mulching. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (about 5 minutes away), reliable on timing, and precise on finish.
Many Thornton Heath gardens sit on firm, compacted ground with mixed made-up layers from older landscaping, so we prepare bases properly to prevent movement. Access can be tight on terrace rows, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. If parking is limited near Thornton Heath Pond or the station, we schedule efficiently and keep materials organised on-site. Our approach suits Croydon property layouts, from narrow frontages to long rear gardens.

Most projects fall within £15–£50 per metre, depending on the edging type and the amount of groundwork needed. Plastic edging is usually at the lower end, while brick, stone and sleeper edging tend to cost more due to materials and installation time. Typical total spend is around £300–£1,200 for many Thornton Heath gardens, influenced by length, curves, corners, and whether you want decorative borders.
Many edging installs are completed in 1 day, especially for straightforward runs along lawns, beds or paths. Timescales can extend if there are lots of curves, multiple levels, or if we’re replacing old edging and improving the base. Brick and stone edging can take longer than metal or plastic because of bedding and alignment. We’ll confirm the schedule after measuring and checking access.
In most cases, garden edging is classed as minor landscaping and doesn’t require planning permission. That said, rules can vary if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the work changes levels significantly near boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise on sensible heights and materials. If needed, we can help you check Croydon Council guidance before work starts.
Yes—our installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as movement caused by incorrect base preparation or poor fixing. The warranty applies when the edging is used normally and the surrounding ground isn’t altered by later building work. We also give care guidance to help keep lines crisp, such as mowing height and how to avoid dislodging edges during digging.
We install metal edging for clean modern lines, brick edging to complement period homes, and stone edging for a premium, natural look. Sleeper edging is popular for raised borders, while plastic edging suits budget-friendly, hidden restraints. Decorative borders can be added to highlight paths or planting schemes. We’ll help you choose based on garden style, durability, maintenance preferences, and how the edging will meet existing paving or lawns.
