Upper Norwood gardens often combine generous front plots with private rear spaces, perfect for layered planting. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Westow Park, we design planting that looks good from day one and improves each season. Expect well-structured borders, reliable plant supply, and neat mulching to lock in moisture. We can also refresh tired beds without a full redesign.
We work regularly across SE19 and understand the character of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions on the hill. These properties benefit from planting that complements brickwork, bay windows and mature boundaries, without overcrowding paths or lightwells. We’ll balance evergreen structure with perennials and bulbs for long flowering windows. For smaller courtyards and raised patios, we specify plants that cope with wind and shade.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess light, soil, drainage and existing plants worth keeping. You’ll receive a clear planting plan, a curated plant list, and an installation day scheduled around access and parking. We source quality stock, plant to best practice, and finish with mulching and aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, dependable communication and a 10-year warranty on qualifying works.
Upper Norwood’s hilltop setting can bring wind exposure and fast-draining soils in places, while some gardens hold heavier ground in shaded pockets. We adjust species choice, soil conditioning and mulching to suit each plot. Access can be tight on period streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For garden planting in London Borough of Croydon, we also factor in boundary trees and neighbouring shade from mature canopies.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and whether you need a full planting design. As a guide, small border refreshes often start from £400–£900 including plants and labour. Medium gardens typically fall around £1,200–£3,000, while larger schemes with specimen shrubs or trees can be £3,500–£8,000+. We’ll itemise plants, soil improvers and mulching so you can adjust the budget.
Most border planting jobs take 1–2 days on site, depending on access, ground preparation and the number of plants. A larger scheme with multiple beds, tree planting and soil improvement is commonly 2–5 days. Timescales also depend on plant availability and whether we’re removing old planting first. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site visit 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), conservation area considerations, or work affecting shared boundaries. If you’re adding or removing trees, we’ll advise on checks with the London Borough of Croydon and help you confirm any constraints. We also keep planting clear of sightlines and footpaths where relevant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installation works, covering workmanship such as correct planting methods, staking and bed preparation. Plants are living materials, so their success also depends on weather, watering and ongoing care; we’ll give clear aftercare instructions to maximise establishment. Where possible, we source robust nursery stock and can discuss optional maintenance visits to support new planting through its first season.
We offer planting design with a mix of shrubs, perennials, bulbs and feature trees, tailored to your style and maintenance preferences. Popular choices include evergreen structure with seasonal colour, pollinator-friendly borders, shade planting for north-facing areas, and drought-tolerant schemes for sunny plots. We can also supply screening plants for privacy and underplanting to soften paving. You’ll get a clear plan, plant list and advice on spacing and long-term growth.
