Norwood Grove homeowners want outdoor spaces that look smart and work properly in all weather. We design and build patios, pathways, walls and steps that suit how you use the garden day to day. Whether you’re near Norwood Grove Park or heading towards Crystal Palace, we create clean lines, safe levels and solid finishes. Every project starts with practical advice on layout, drainage and materials.
The Norwood Grove area has plenty of Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions, often with narrow side access and stepped plots. We’re used to matching new paving and edging to traditional brickwork and heritage-style details without it looking “bolted on”. For SE19 front gardens, we can replace tired surfacing with a driveway that respects the character of the street. We also work on rear gardens in Upper Norwood where levels and retaining walls need careful planning.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, measured design, clear written quote, then a scheduled build with tidy working. We excavate properly, install the right foundations, and finish with edging and falls that move water away from the house. You’ll get regular updates and options where choices matter, such as jointing, drainage channels and step heights. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, honest timelines and a finish that stays true year after year.
Hard landscaping in London Borough of Croydon often needs careful attention to levels, run-off and neighbouring boundaries. Around Upper Norwood and Beaulieu Heights, sloping ground can require retaining walls, stepped patios and robust drainage. We plan deliveries and waste removal around residential parking and access constraints, keeping disruption low. Materials and detailing are chosen to complement SE19 streetscapes and period façades.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, excavation depth, drainage needs and the materials you choose. As a guide, patios often start from around £120–£250 per m² installed, while premium stone can be higher. Driveways commonly range from £3,500–£12,000+ depending on size, sub-base and edging. Walls, steps and drainage are usually priced by scope after a site survey, especially on sloping plots.
Small jobs such as edging, short pathways or a set of steps can take 1–3 days. A typical patio is often 4–7 working days, while a driveway may take 5–10 days depending on excavation, drainage and curing times. Larger schemes with walls, multiple levels and foundations can run 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, ground conditions and material lead times.
Many garden hard landscaping projects are permitted development, but driveways can be affected by rules on surface water run-off. If you’re paving over a front garden, permeable surfacing or suitable drainage is often required to avoid directing water to the highway. Properties in conservation areas may have extra constraints, and walls by the road can have height limits. We check requirements and advise before work starts.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on hard landscaping installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or failures in our installed drainage and foundations. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what each product includes. The warranty assumes normal use and that any future alterations by others don’t disturb the build. Aftercare advice is included.
We offer a wide range of options including porcelain paving, sandstone and granite, clay pavers, concrete blocks, and resin-bound surfacing for suitable areas. For walls and steps, we can use brickwork, rendered blockwork, natural stone or coping details to match period homes. Edging choices include setts, kerbs and metal edging for crisp lines. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, maintenance, colour, and how it complements your property.
