Norwood Grove homeowners often want planting that brings structure, privacy and reliable seasonal colour without constant fuss. From compact front gardens near Norwood Grove Park to larger rear plots towards Beaulieu Heights, we tailor layouts to light levels and how you use the space. Our team handles planting design, plant supply and careful installation to set plants up for strong establishment. Expect crisp borders, well-spaced specimens and a finish that immediately lifts kerb appeal.
The Norwood Grove area is known for Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions, each with different garden proportions and access routes. We regularly work across Upper Norwood and SE19, where side returns can be narrow and patios sit close to borders. Planting schemes are planned around existing features such as bay-window frontages, boundary walls and mature trees. The result is planting that feels in keeping with the property while improving privacy and outlook.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess soil, drainage, shade patterns and maintenance preferences. We then create a practical planting plan, source quality stock from trusted nurseries, and install with correct spacing, staking and mulching. You’ll get clear aftercare guidance and optional follow-up visits to keep everything on track. Many clients choose us for garden planting in London Borough of Croydon because we’re punctual, tidy and consistent in our workmanship.
Gardens around Norwood Grove can vary from free-draining slopes to heavier, compacted soils, so we adjust composting, mulching and plant choice accordingly. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so deliveries are scheduled to minimise disruption. We also factor in mature trees near Upper Norwood Recreation Ground that can create dry shade and root competition. Where needed, we’ll advise on any London Borough of Croydon considerations before work begins.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density and the types of plants chosen. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £450–£900 including supply and planting. Medium schemes for front and rear borders commonly fall between £1,200–£2,800. Larger transformations with specimen shrubs or trees can be £3,000–£7,500+. We itemise design, plants, compost and mulching so you can adjust to budget.
Most planting jobs take 1–2 days once the design and plant supply are agreed. A simple border planting can be completed in a day, while multiple beds, tree planting and soil improvement may take 2–4 days. Timescales are affected by access through period properties, the amount of preparation needed, and whether we’re lifting old plants or improving drainage. We’ll confirm a schedule before we start.
In most cases, garden planting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. The main exceptions involve protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders), work within conservation areas, or changes that affect boundary walls and visibility at driveways. If you’d like new tree planting or removal as part of the scheme, we can help you check Croydon Council guidance and submit the right notifications where needed before any work proceeds.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation standards such as correct planting depth, staking, and bed preparation. Plant health is influenced by weather and aftercare, so living plants are covered in line with nursery guarantees and our agreed maintenance guidance. We provide clear watering and feeding instructions, and we can arrange follow-up visits to check establishment. Any issues linked to installation are put right promptly.
We can create everything from structured evergreen borders to softer, pollinator-friendly perennial planting. Popular options include mixed shrub and perennial borders, spring bulbs layered for succession, ornamental grasses for movement, and feature trees for height and privacy. We also use soil improvers, compost and mulching (bark or well-rotted organic mulch) to boost performance. We’ll recommend plants that suit your light levels, soil type and desired maintenance.
