Upper Norwood gardens often come with levels, long plots and big potential. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or Westow Park, we create outdoor spaces that feel considered, practical and beautiful. Our makeovers combine hard landscaping with softer planting to bring structure and seasonal interest. Expect thoughtful layouts, tidy edges and a build that stands up to real family use.
We work across the garden makeovers Upper Norwood area, including Crystal Palace and South Norwood. Many homes here are Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, so we design with heritage features in mind while improving usability. Courtyard gardens benefit from clever lighting and vertical planting, while larger plots suit zoning with patios, lawns and borders. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low.
Every project starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear design proposal. We then manage the build end-to-end: groundwork, drainage, paving, decking, planting, lighting and water features. You’ll receive a written schedule, transparent scope, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us for clean working practices, consistent communication and a premium finish.
As a team experienced with garden makeovers in London Borough of Croydon, we factor in Upper Norwood’s hilltop terrain, shade patterns and drainage needs. Many SE19 properties have stepped access and limited parking, so we schedule deliveries, protect shared pathways and keep sites organised. We also design around period architecture, using materials and detailing that complement brickwork, stone and traditional garden boundaries. Where council guidance applies, we help you stay compliant from the start.

Costs vary with size, levels and specification. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with new paving and planting may start around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-size gardens with patios, turf, raised beds and lighting often fall in the £12,000–£25,000 range. Larger, multi-level builds with retaining, premium stone, decking and water features can be £30,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after a survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for straightforward gardens, and 4–8 weeks for larger or multi-level sites. Timescales depend on access, demolition, drainage, curing time for concrete, and the amount of joinery or stonework. Planting is usually scheduled towards the end for best results. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated if weather or supply lead times affect sequencing.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, decking within limits, and most planting schemes. However, rules can apply to raised platforms, boundary changes, drainage to public sewers, and works near trees with protection orders. If your property is a conversion or in an area with added restrictions, requirements can differ. We flag likely issues early and can help you check guidance with the London Borough of Croydon where needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on hard landscaping installations, covering defects in build quality such as sub-base failure, poor jointing, or structural issues arising from installation. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like paving, decking boards, lighting transformers and pumps. Soft landscaping is living material, so planting is covered for establishment issues where agreed and when aftercare guidance is followed. Warranty terms are provided in writing with your proposal.
We tailor designs to your home and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or timber decking, rendered or brick raised beds, and layered planting with evergreens plus seasonal colour. Lighting options range from step lights to uplighters for feature trees, and water features can be rills, bowls or compact ponds. We bring samples, discuss maintenance levels, and create a layout that suits your budget and style.
