We deliver developer-focused landscaping that helps new homes in Shirley present brilliantly from day one. Whether you’re building near Shirley Windmill or along routes towards Addington Hills, our team creates cohesive external works that support sales and resident satisfaction. Expect clean lines, robust detailing and planting that settles quickly. We can landscape single plots or coordinate full-site delivery across CR0.
Shirley’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern developments calls for landscaping that respects the streetscape while meeting today’s expectations. We design front gardens and driveways that suit wider plots, plus practical rear gardens ready for family use. For multi-unit schemes, we plan communal areas that feel generous without becoming maintenance-heavy. Our finishes are chosen to complement brick tones, rooflines and boundary rhythms common locally.
You’ll get a clear scope, programme and specification before we start, then a managed install with tidy handovers for each phase. We coordinate groundworks, planting and surfacing so plots are completed on time and to a consistent standard. Quality control is built in, from levels and falls to planting plans and aftercare notes. Many clients choose ongoing maintenance contracts to keep show homes and communal areas looking sharp through the sales period.
Working in the London Borough of Croydon means factoring in varied soil conditions, mature tree roots and tight access on established roads. In Shirley, parking and deliveries can need careful scheduling, especially near schools such as Trinity School. We plan logistics, protect existing kerbs and footways, and keep sites compliant and neighbour-considerate. Our planting choices suit leafy suburban streets and reduce early failures.

Costs depend on plot size, specification and phasing. As a guide, front garden and driveway packages often start from £3,000–£8,000 per plot, while full front-and-rear landscaping commonly ranges £8,000–£20,000+. Communal areas vary widely, from £10,000 for simple turf and planting to £50,000+ for larger schemes with paths, lighting and structure. We provide itemised budgets for value engineering.
Timescales vary by weather, access and the number of plots. A single front garden and driveway may take 1–2 weeks, while a full plot (front, rear, boundaries and planting) is typically 2–4 weeks. Larger developments are usually programmed in phases alongside build completion, with communal areas often 2–8+ weeks depending on hardscape. We produce a practical programme aligned to handovers and sales milestones.
Most garden landscaping is permitted, but driveways can trigger rules around drainage and materials. In the London Borough of Croydon, new or replaced front hardstanding usually needs permeable surfacing or suitable runoff control to avoid planning issues. Boundary treatments may also have height limits, especially adjacent to highways. We review your proposals, check constraints, and can advise on SuDS-friendly options before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as installation defects in paving, edging, retaining details and constructed bases (subject to correct use and ground conditions). Planting is covered separately because it depends on season and aftercare; we’ll set out a clear establishment period and maintenance guidance at handover. If a snag arises, our nearby team can respond quickly and document fixes properly.
For the housing development landscaping Shirley area, popular choices include resin-bound or permeable block paving for driveways, porcelain or sandstone patios, and low-maintenance planting with evergreen structure plus seasonal colour. Boundary treatments often combine closeboard fencing, brick piers, trellis and acoustic panels where needed. We can also deliver street planting, rain-garden features and robust communal turf. We’ll match finishes to your elevations, budget and maintenance plan.
