Croydon's diverse housing stock presents unique opportunities for garden makeovers. Those narrow plots typical of Selhurst terraces need clever design to maximise every square metre. Meanwhile, the generous gardens found in parts of CR2 offer scope for ambitious landscaping projects. Local knowledge matters when you're working with London clay and unpredictable drainage.
A successful makeover begins by assessing existing conditions - soil quality, sunlight patterns, drainage issues common to this part of South London. Design considerations include privacy screening from neighbouring properties, creating distinct zones for different activities, and selecting plants that thrive despite urban pollution. Hard landscaping elements like patios and pathways establish the garden's structure before softer planting brings everything to life.
Twenty years of transforming Croydon gardens has taught us which materials withstand our local weather extremes. From compact courtyard redesigns near East Croydon station to sprawling family gardens in Sanderstead, each project reflects both the property's character and the owner's lifestyle.
