Upper Norwood’s hilltop gardens deserve lighting that looks refined and works hard after dark. From subtle path lighting for steps to dramatic uplighting for feature trees, we tailor every scheme to your layout and lifestyle. We regularly work near Crystal Palace Park and Westow Park, where sloping plots and mature planting call for careful beam control. Expect clean cabling, tidy installation and a finish that complements your home.
Our team understands the character of SE19 properties, from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to period conversions with compact courtyards. We plan lighting around original brickwork, stone steps and ornate boundary walls so fittings feel intentional, not bolted on. For larger gardens, we zone lighting to keep the view crisp without glare. If you’re in the garden lighting Upper Norwood area, we’ll recommend options that suit both architecture and planting.
We start with a site visit, evening-use goals and a simple lighting plan showing placement, beam angles and control zones. Installations are carried out with safety-first wiring, weatherproof connections and neat trenching, then tested and commissioned with you. You’ll get clear guidance on timers, dimming and smart scenes, plus aftercare support. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent scopes and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
In the London Borough of Croydon, Upper Norwood gardens often sit on slopes with stepped access and tight side returns. We plan cable routes to minimise disruption and keep finishes neat around mature roots and period paving. Parking and access can be limited on some residential streets, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to keep the site orderly. Our designs suit older brick and stonework, avoiding harsh glare on façades and neighbours.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, cable runs, access and whether you choose smart controls. As a guide, a small scheme (6–10 fittings such as path lights and a couple of spotlights) often starts around £1,200–£2,500. Medium gardens with zoning, wall lights and deck lights are commonly £2,500–£6,000+. Larger, fully designed systems with multiple circuits and smart scenes can be £6,000–£12,000+.
Most installations take 1–3 days, depending on the size of the garden and how much trenching is required. A simple path lighting run with a transformer and timer can be completed in a day. Larger schemes with uplighting, wall lights, deck lights and smart controls typically need 2–5 days, especially where we’re working around mature planting, steps or complex access common in SE19 gardens.
Garden lighting is usually permitted development, so planning permission isn’t normally required. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if you’re mounting lights on certain elevations. We also consider neighbour impact and light spill, particularly with spotlights and uplighting. Before work starts, we’ll flag any potential issues and advise if you should check with Croydon Council or a conservation officer.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as cable joints, connections and fitting placement when used as intended. Manufacturer warranties on luminaires, drivers and smart control components vary by brand and specification, and we’ll confirm these in your proposal. If a problem arises, we’ll troubleshoot quickly and aim for a clean, lasting fix rather than a temporary patch.
We design schemes using path lighting, uplighting, deck lights, festoon lighting, spotlights and wall lights, with optional solar options for tricky areas. Finishes commonly include black powder-coated aluminium, stainless steel and heritage-style fittings for period homes. We’ll advise on colour temperature (warm vs neutral), beam angles and glare control, then set up smart controls for timers, dimming and scenes so the garden feels right year-round.
