Response within 24 hours
From Addiscombe to South Croydon, we create outdoor spaces that elevate new-build schemes and mixed-tenure sites. Fine Landscaping supports developers with show home gardens, communal areas and smart frontages that photograph well and stand up to daily use. We’re regularly working near East Croydon station and around CR0 and CR2. Expect tidy sites, clear programmes and a finish that matches premium interiors.
Croydon’s streets mix Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments, so landscapes need to feel appropriate to the setting. We design front gardens and driveways that complement period brickwork, while giving contemporary schemes clean lines and low-maintenance planting. Rear gardens are planned for real living—durable lawns, practical patios and child-friendly layouts. Communal areas are designed for longevity, visibility and easy upkeep.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a practical specification tailored to build phases. We coordinate with site managers and other trades to keep access routes clear and handovers smooth. Work is delivered by experienced landscapers with quality materials, proper sub-bases and attention to drainage. Clients trust us because we communicate well, document decisions, and stand behind the finish with long-term cover and maintenance options.
We’re used to Croydon’s varied plot sizes, tight access and controlled parking near busy routes and town-centre links like the Whitgift Centre. Ground conditions can vary across the borough, so we specify drainage, sub-bases and soil improvement to suit each site. We also plan logistics for phased handovers and resident access in occupied blocks. If council requirements apply, we align materials and planting with local expectations from the outset.

Costs vary by plot size, specification and phasing. As a guide, front garden and driveway packages often start from £3,000–£8,000 per plot, while rear gardens commonly range £4,000–£12,000 depending on paving, turf and fencing. Communal area landscaping can run £10,000–£60,000+ based on hard landscaping, planting density and irrigation. We provide itemised quotes and value-engineering options.
Timescales depend on the number of plots, access and whether works are phased around other trades. A single plot front and rear garden is typically 5–10 working days, while a show home garden may be completed in 3–7 days if materials are ready. Communal areas can take 2–8 weeks. Weather, ground conditions, utility locations and client approvals can all affect the programme.
Most garden landscaping, fencing and patios are permitted development, but there are exceptions—especially for new-build planning conditions, boundary heights, and changes to driveways. For driveways, surface water drainage rules and the use of permeable paving can be important. We’ll review drawings and any planning conditions, flag likely constraints, and recommend compliant materials and levels before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects such as failed sub-bases, movement from poor construction, or drainage issues caused by incorrect falls. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. Soft landscaping is living and seasonal, but we specify robust planting and can include an establishment period and maintenance contract to keep it thriving after handover.
We tailor schemes to the development’s architecture and budget. Popular options include permeable block paving for driveways, porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or timber decking, closeboard or slatted fencing, and mixed native/ornamental planting for year-round interest. Street planting can include hardy trees and structured shrub beds. We’ll provide samples, layout options and a maintenance-friendly planting plan suited to the Croydon area.
