CR5's mix of Victorian villas and modern estates each bring distinct landscaping puzzles. Perhaps you're battling waterlogged clay after heavy downpours, or wrestling with that awkward gradient typical of properties backing onto Farthing Downs. Stone pathways, retaining structures and thoughtfully designed patios solve these common Coulsdon challenges whilst adding serious kerb appeal.
Material selection proves crucial when chalk underlies much of our local terrain. Permeable resin-bound surfaces prevent pooling where traditional paving fails. Natural limestone complements period properties beautifully, whilst contemporary porcelain suits newer builds around Old Coulsdon. Proper sub-base preparation ensures longevity - particularly important given our area's notorious ground movement issues.
Twenty years tackling Coulsdon's quirky topography means anticipating problems others miss. Local knowledge matters when navigating planning considerations near conservation areas or managing drainage towards Caterham's water table.
