Crystal Palace developments sit alongside established streets around Upper Norwood and SE19, so new landscapes need to feel confident rather than out of place. We design and build show home gardens, front and rear plots, and communal areas that complement the character near Crystal Palace Park. Whether you’re presenting a marketing suite or completing handover plots, we focus on kerb appeal, durability and tidy detailing. Boundary treatments, driveways and street planting are planned as one coherent scheme.
Local projects often involve Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, as well as newer apartment blocks around Anerley and Penge. We’re used to tight side access, stepped levels and sloping plots that come with a historic hilltop setting. Our team specifies hardwearing materials and planting that suits exposed aspects and elevated views. The result is a landscape that looks established quickly, but performs well year after year.
We start with a site walkover, programme review and a clear scope for each plot and shared area, then coordinate deliveries to keep the site moving. You’ll receive practical designs, detailed specifications and a phased build plan aligned with your construction schedule. Quality control is built in: clean edges, correct falls, robust sub-bases and consistent planting layouts. Clients trust us for reliable communication, safe working and a finish that stands up to snagging and handover.
Crystal Palace spans multiple borough boundaries, so requirements can vary between Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. We plan for controlled parking, delivery restrictions and narrow streets around SE19/SE20, keeping disruption low. Sloping ground and exposed conditions near the Crystal Palace transmitter influence our planting and construction build-ups. We also coordinate street planting and frontage works to suit local highways expectations and adoption standards.

Costs vary by plot size, access, levels and specification. As a guide, front garden and entrance landscaping is often £1,500–£5,000 per plot, while rear gardens commonly range £3,000–£12,000 depending on paving, turf and fencing. Driveways typically fall between £4,000–£15,000. Communal areas and street planting are priced from drawings and schedules, often £10,000–£100,000+ for larger schemes.
A single plot can take 2–7 working days for a straightforward front or rear garden, while plots with levels, retaining, patios and driveway works may take 2–4 weeks. Communal areas are usually programmed in phases over several weeks to match handovers. Timescales depend on weather, ground conditions, access for machinery, and lead times for fencing, paving and planting stock. We provide a clear programme and keep it updated.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, but driveway works can require compliance with SuDS rules, especially where impermeable surfacing is proposed. Boundary treatments may also have height limits, and conservation areas can add restrictions. Because Crystal Palace spans several boroughs, we check the relevant council guidance and any planning conditions tied to the development. Where needed, we can recommend permeable paving, soakaways and compliant detailing.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our landscaping workmanship, covering installation quality such as sub-bases, laying standards, edging, falls and structural elements we build. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for specific products. Planting is living material, so it’s covered subject to correct aftercare, watering and seasonal conditions; we’ll set out an aftercare plan at handover. Maintenance contracts can also be added to protect presentation and long-term performance.
We tailor schemes to the development brief, from contemporary to period-sensitive. Popular options include porcelain or sandstone patios, permeable block paving, resin-bound surfacing, timber or composite decking, closeboard or slatted fencing, brick piers, and mixed evergreen-perennial planting for year-round structure. For communal areas we often specify robust turf, meadow mixes, specimen trees and low-maintenance shrub beds. We’ll guide choices based on budget, exposure, maintenance expectations and buyer appeal in the housing development landscaping Crystal Palace area.
