Victorian properties throughout CR8 often hide spectacular potential beneath decades of ivy and brambles. Those narrow side returns typical of Purley's older streets become secret gardens with clever design. Modern estates near Purley Way present different challenges - bland builders' lawns crying out for personality and purpose.
Ground preparation forms the backbone of lasting renovation success. Compacted clay soil, common across the chalk downs surrounding Sanderstead, requires careful amendment before planting begins. Drainage solutions prevent the waterlogging that plagues lower Coulsdon gardens each winter. Strategic hardscaping creates year-round structure whilst maximising precious growing space.
Fifteen years tackling Purley's sloping plots has taught us which plants genuinely thrive here. Local knowledge beats generic garden centre advice every time.

Complete makeovers for typical CR8 properties range £8,000-£25,000, though smaller refresh projects start around £3,500. Terraced houses often sit at the lower end whilst detached homes with extensive grounds push higher.

Most Purley renovations complete within 3-6 weeks, weather permitting. Compact terraced gardens sometimes finish in just 10 days, whilst acre plots naturally demand longer timescales.
Comprehensive 10-year coverage protects all structural elements - patios, walls, pergolas. Plant establishment receives 12-month support including seasonal care guidance specific to CR8's microclimate.
Preservation usually proves possible and desirable - established trees add instant maturity. Protected species common in older Purley gardens require council consultation, which we handle throughout the planning process.
