Addiscombe homeowners often want outdoor spaces that work in all seasons, not just summer. We design and build patios, pathways, walls, steps and edging that suit how you use your garden day to day. Whether you’re near Addiscombe tram stop or walking distance from Ashburton Park, we’ll create clean lines, safe levels and reliable drainage. Every build is set out carefully for a finish that looks right from the house and from the garden.
The area’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis means levels, access and existing groundworks can vary street by street. We’re used to narrow side returns, shared boundaries and gardens that need smart space planning. If you’re in CR0 around East Croydon or Shirley, we’ll recommend materials and layouts that match your property’s character. The result is hard landscaping that looks intentional, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear written specification covering foundations, falls and drainage. You’ll get guidance on materials, maintenance and how the build will be staged to minimise disruption. Our team keeps the site tidy, protects key access routes and communicates daily progress. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, ground conditions can shift from compacted made ground to heavier clay, so we tailor sub-bases and drainage accordingly. Addiscombe streets can have limited parking and access, which we plan for with timed deliveries and efficient waste removal. We also factor in typical front garden layouts and crossover constraints when designing driveways. If needed, we’ll help you align the build with local requirements and practical site realities.

Costs depend on size, access, ground conditions and the materials you choose. As a guide, patios often start around £120–£200 per m² installed, with premium stone higher. Driveways commonly range from £90–£180 per m² depending on block paving, resin or permeable systems. Walls, steps, drainage and foundations are priced by scope; after a site visit we provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most projects in the hard landscaping Addiscombe area take 3–10 working days, depending on complexity. A small patio or pathway may be completed within a week, while a driveway with drainage and edging can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, spoil removal, curing time for concrete, and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many patios, paths and garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, boundaries and drainage. For front driveways, the key issue is often surface water: non-permeable paving may require planning unless it drains to a permeable area within your property. We’ll advise on permeable options and suitable falls, and we can help you check any Croydon-specific constraints before work begins.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship. This covers issues linked to installation, such as failing joints, unstable edging, or movement caused by inadequate sub-base construction, provided the area is used normally and maintained sensibly. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also document the build specification—foundations, drainage and falls—so you know exactly what’s been installed.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a classic look, and granite setts for edging and detailing. For driveways, block paving and permeable resin systems are common, with channel drains where needed. We can build retaining walls in brick to match your house, or in natural stone for contrast. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and upkeep, and design around levels, steps and access.
