Coulsdon developments sit alongside open green spaces such as Farthing Downs and Happy Valley, so landscaping needs to feel structured yet natural. Fine Landscaping creates show home gardens that photograph beautifully, plus practical front and rear gardens for everyday living. We also deliver communal areas, street planting and boundary treatments that make a new scheme feel established. Whether you’re completing a small infill build or a larger site, we plan for smooth handovers and consistent quality.
The CR5 area includes large detached houses, well-loved 1930s properties and newer developments around Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley. That mix means specifications vary: some plots need generous driveways and crisp front gardens, others need compact, low-maintenance rear spaces. We design around levels, access and privacy, balancing clean lines with planting that suits Coulsdon’s semi-rural character. The result is landscaping that fits the street scene and adds value to each plot.
We start with a site walkover, drawings and a clear scope for each plot and shared area. Our team installs hard landscaping first—groundworks, drainage falls, paving and edging—then completes turfing, planting and final detailing. Every phase is checked against the specification so finishes stay consistent across the development. Clients trust us because we communicate clearly, keep sites tidy, and back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
Coulsdon’s downland setting can mean chalky, free-draining soils and exposed conditions, especially near Farthing Downs. We specify plants that cope with wind and summer dry spells, and we improve soil where plots have been compacted by construction traffic. Access and parking can be tight on active sites, so deliveries and waste removal are scheduled to reduce disruption. We also consider London Borough of Croydon requirements, including drainage approaches and street scene expectations.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and how much groundwork is needed after construction. As a guide, front garden packages often range from £1,500–£5,000 per plot, while rear gardens commonly fall between £4,000–£15,000. Driveways can be £3,000–£12,000 depending on materials and drainage. Communal areas and street planting are usually priced per square metre after a site survey and schedule of works.
Timescales depend on the number of plots, access, weather and whether services and levels are finalised. A single plot front and rear garden is often completed in 3–10 working days once the site is ready. Show home gardens may take 1–2 weeks due to higher detailing and planting. Larger programmes are phased to suit build completion, with snagging visits scheduled around handover dates and sales activity.
Many garden works are permitted development, but some elements can trigger rules—particularly new or altered driveways, changes to levels, drainage to the highway, and boundary treatments on prominent frontages. In the London Borough of Croydon, SuDS-friendly surfaces are often expected for front gardens and parking areas. We check constraints, advise on permeable options, and flag where a planning application, condition discharge or highways approval may be needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping installations such as paving, edging, walls and boundary structures, provided they’re used and maintained correctly. This covers issues linked to installation, including movement caused by inadequate sub-bases or incorrect laying methods. Planting is living material, so it’s covered separately and depends on season, aftercare and watering. We can also provide maintenance contracts to protect the finish.
We offer a wide range of finishes to suit both modern schemes and 1930s-style streets: porcelain or sandstone paving, permeable block paving, resin-bound surfacing, timber or composite decking, and robust edging details. Boundary options include closeboard fencing, slatted screens, brick piers and hedging. For planting, we often use structured evergreens with seasonal colour and wildlife-friendly mixes. We’ll propose options that fit budgets, maintenance levels and the local setting.
