From smart front gardens near South Croydon station to larger plots backing onto green corridors, planting needs to be planned properly to look good in every season. We create balanced planting schemes, supply quality plants, and install them with the right spacing and soil preparation. Whether you want colourful perennials, spring bulbs or evergreen structure, we’ll tailor the mix to your garden. We also finish with mulching to lock in moisture and keep weeds down.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include Victorian villas, 1930s semis and generous detached homes, often with deep borders and mature trees. We design planting that suits these settings—softening hard landscaping, framing patios and improving kerb appeal. If you’re in Sanderstead, Purley or closer to Croydon, we’ll match the style of your property and how you use the space. Shade planting, drought-tolerant borders and wildlife-friendly schemes are all common requests locally.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess light levels, soil condition and drainage, then we produce a clear planting plan and schedule. We source reliable nursery stock, plant correctly, and apply mulch for a clean finish and healthier root growth. You’ll get practical aftercare guidance so your new planting beds establish quickly. Homeowners choose us because we turn plans into tidy, well-executed gardens and stand behind our work with a 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon can vary from heavy clay to freer-draining pockets, so we adjust composting, mulches and plant choices accordingly. In CR2, access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We’re used to working around established trees and sloped plots near green spaces such as Croham Hurst Woods. The result is planting that settles in well and looks right for the property.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and whether you need full planting design and supply. As a guide, border planting often starts from around £500–£1,500 for smaller areas, while larger schemes for front and rear gardens can be £2,000–£6,000+. Tree planting typically adds £250–£1,500 per tree depending on size and access. We’ll provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Most planting jobs take 1–3 days, including soil preparation, planting and mulching. Larger gardens or complex schemes with multiple borders, trees and shrubs can take 4–7 days, especially if we’re improving soil or reshaping beds first. Timescales depend on access, the amount of digging required, and plant availability. We’ll agree a clear schedule and keep the site tidy throughout.
Planting borders, shrubs, perennials and bulbs usually doesn’t need permission. However, there can be rules around protected trees, conservation areas, and work near boundaries, particularly if a Tree Preservation Order applies. If you’re adding or removing trees as part of your garden planting in London Borough of Croydon, we’ll flag any likely constraints and can help you check with the council before work starts.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as incorrect planting, staking failures, or bed preparation problems that lead to avoidable defects. Living plants are affected by weather and aftercare, so plant guarantees depend on the supplier and the agreed maintenance plan. We’ll explain what’s covered, provide aftercare guidance, and can offer ongoing maintenance to help new planting establish strongly.
We can deliver everything from contemporary, low-maintenance evergreen structure to cottage-style borders packed with perennials and seasonal bulbs. Popular options include mixed shrub borders, pollinator-friendly planting, ornamental grasses, pleached screening trees, and spring bulb drifts. We also specify mulches such as composted bark or organic compost to suit your soil. We’ll help you choose colours, heights and flowering times for year-round interest.
