Evening lighting changes how you use your garden—making paths safer, steps clearer, and seating areas more inviting.

Whether you’re near South Croydon station or walking distance to Lloyd Park, we’ll match the look to your property and planting. The result is a garden that feels considered after dark, not overlit.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, each needing a slightly different approach. We plan cabling routes that respect mature borders, patios and existing drainage runs. For period homes, we favour discreet fittings and warmer colour temperatures that complement brickwork and stone. For newer extensions and outdoor kitchens, we can integrate smart controls and layered lighting zones.
We start with a site visit and lighting plan, then specify durable, low-voltage fittings with neat, hidden wiring. Installation is tidy and carefully tested, with clear handover guidance on timers, sensors and app-based controls. You’ll get honest recommendations on brightness and beam angles so the garden looks natural at night. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean finishes and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Croydon, access and parking can vary between residential roads and larger driveways, so we plan deliveries and installation times carefully. Many South Croydon gardens have level changes, mature trees and long side returns, which influences transformer placement and cable runs. We also consider nearby neighbours and sightlines to avoid spill light through windows. Our approach keeps installations compliant, discreet and easy to maintain.

Costs depend on the number of fittings, cable runs, and whether you choose mains, low-voltage or solar. As a guide, small schemes (6–10 lights) often start around £900–£1,800, while mid-sized gardens with multiple zones and smart controls are commonly £2,000–£4,500. Larger properties in the garden lighting South Croydon area with feature spotlights and extensive wiring can be £5,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–3 days, depending on garden size, ground conditions and how much trenching is required for cables. A simple path lighting run can be completed in a day, while a multi-zone design with uplighting, deck lights and smart controls may take longer. We also factor in testing, aiming and night-time adjustments where needed. If you’re combining lighting with other landscaping, we’ll coordinate timings to minimise disruption.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, especially for low-level fittings and standard wall lights. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or if lighting could cause nuisance through glare or light spill. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on positioning, shielding and brightness. If permissions or landlord approvals are required, we’ll help you gather the right information before work starts.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality, cable routing and connections when used as specified. Individual fittings and transformers also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and product type. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to maintain the system, and how to replace lamps or drivers if needed. If a fault occurs, we’ll diagnose it promptly and aim to keep any disruption minimal.
We offer layered designs using path lighting, uplighting, spotlights, wall lights, deck lights and festoon lighting for entertaining areas. Popular finishes include anthracite, black, stainless steel and aged bronze to suit Victorian villas or 1930s semis. You can choose solar options for specific zones, or low-voltage LED for consistent performance. We’ll help you select beam angles, colour temperature and smart controls so the scheme feels balanced and practical.
