Victorian terraces in CR0 often hide surprisingly deep gardens waiting for transformation. From Waddon's clay challenges to South Croydon's sloping plots, groundworks unlock your outdoor space's true potential.
Response within 24 hours
Croydon's diverse housing stock throws up unique groundwork puzzles daily. Those narrow side returns in Selhurst need clever drainage solutions, while post-war semis across CR2 frequently battle waterlogged lawns. Years tackling everything from basement excavations near East Croydon station to complete garden levelling projects in suburban CR7 means no surprise lurking beneath your lawn phases us.
Proper groundworks begin underground - literally. Compacted hardcore bases prevent future sinking, French drains redirect that persistent pooling water, and correctly graded surfaces ensure rainwater flows where intended. Machine access through typical Croydon terraced passages requires precision planning, but compact excavators navigate even the tightest spaces when operated skillfully.
Local knowledge matters when London clay meets Surrey chalk beneath Croydon gardens. Understanding which areas suffer seasonal movement helps us specify appropriate foundation depths, saving heartache later.

Basic patio preparation starts around £1,200-£1,800 for typical CR0 terrace gardens. Full garden levelling projects on larger CR2 plots usually range £3,500-£6,000, depending on soil removal requirements and access constraints.
Absolutely - from compact courtyards near Purley Way to sprawling gardens bordering Addington Hills. Regular projects span CR0's town centre properties, CR2's leafy suburbs, and CR7's residential streets around Thornton Heath.
Small patio bases typically complete within 2-3 days. Comprehensive garden re-grading projects generally require 5-8 working days, weather permitting. Complex drainage installations might extend timescales slightly.
Every project carries decade-long structural guarantees. This covers base integrity, drainage functionality, and level retention - essentially everything below your finished surfaces remains our responsibility for ten full years.
Definitely - Croydon's clay soil notorious for winter waterlogging responds brilliantly to proper drainage systems. Strategic soakaway placement, land drains, or permeable sub-bases transform previously unusable gardens into year-round spaces.
