If your borders look tired or you want a fresh start, we create planting schemes that work in real gardens, not just on paper. We regularly work around Addiscombe tram stop and near Ashburton Park, so we understand the pace and access of local streets. Whether you need a full planting design or a simple border refresh, we supply and plant the right mix for colour and structure. Mulching finishes the job neatly and helps plants establish.
Addiscombe has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different garden proportions and light levels. Front gardens often need smart, low-maintenance planting that still looks welcoming, while rear gardens benefit from layered borders and screening. We plan for shade from neighbouring extensions, sunny patio edges, and narrow side access common in CR0 homes. The result is planting that suits the property and the way you use the space.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess soil, drainage, aspect and existing plants worth keeping. We then propose a clear planting plan, source quality stock, and install with correct spacing, staking and soil improvement. We work cleanly, protect lawns and paths, and finish with mulching to reduce weeds and water loss. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, straightforward advice, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re on site in around 10 minutes from our Norbury base, making aftercare and follow-up easy. Across the London Borough of Croydon, soils can vary from free-draining to heavier clay pockets, so we adjust compost, grit and mulch accordingly. Many Addiscombe streets have limited parking and narrow access, especially near East Croydon and Woodside, so we plan deliveries and plant handling to minimise disruption. We also consider mature street trees and shade patterns when selecting perennials and shrubs.

Costs depend on planting density, plant sizes and whether you need design and soil improvement. As a guide, small border planting refreshes often start around £450–£900. A fuller scheme for multiple borders with perennials, shrubs, bulbs and mulching is commonly £1,200–£3,500. Tree planting varies widely, typically £250–£1,200 per tree installed, depending on size, staking and access. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a visit.
Most jobs are completed in 1–2 days for a couple of borders, including soil preparation and mulching. Larger gardens, multiple beds, or a mix of shrubs and trees can take 3–5 days, especially if we’re removing old planting first. Timescales are affected by access (common with terraces), delivery windows, and whether ground needs improvement. We’ll confirm a schedule before we start and keep disruption to a minimum.
In most cases, garden planting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. The main exceptions are protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) and properties within conservation areas, where work to existing trees may need consent. If you’re adding new trees near boundaries, we’ll also advise on sensible positioning to avoid future issues. We can help you check Croydon Council guidance and confirm any restrictions before planting begins.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering correct installation such as planting depth, staking, edging and mulching where included. Plants are living materials, so plant losses can occur due to extreme weather, pests, or lack of watering during establishment; we’ll explain how to care for everything and can offer a maintenance plan. If any issue relates to our installation, we’ll put it right promptly.
We offer everything from contemporary, architectural planting to softer cottage-style borders. Popular choices include evergreen structure with seasonal perennials, spring bulbs for early colour, and shrubs for screening. For trees, we can suggest options for blossom, shade or privacy, matched to garden size and proximity to buildings. We also specify mulches (bark, composted mulch) to suit your soil and planting. We’ll guide you through options and provide a clear planting palette.
