Upper Norwood developments need landscaping that sells homes quickly and still looks sharp years later. We create show home gardens, front and rear plots, and welcoming communal areas that suit the area’s period character and hilltop views. Whether your site sits near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Westow Park, we plan planting and hardscapes to look established from day one. Our team coordinates smoothly with site managers to keep programmes moving and plots handover-ready.
This part of the London Borough of Croydon includes Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, alongside newer infill schemes around Crystal Palace and South Norwood. Buyers often expect refined detailing—crisp edging, quality paving, and planting that complements brickwork and iron railings. We design front gardens that boost kerb appeal, and rear gardens that feel private without losing light. For the housing development landscaping Upper Norwood area, we specify durable materials that cope with heavy footfall and frequent viewings.
We start with a site walkover, levels check and service-location review, then produce a practical design and build schedule aligned to your build phases. Our crews handle groundworks, drainage, paving, turfing, street planting and boundary treatments with clear snagging lists for each plot. You’ll get consistent finishes across the development, plus optional maintenance contracts to keep show homes and communal beds immaculate. Local homeowners and developers trust us for tidy sites, reliable communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Upper Norwood’s sloping streets and tighter access can affect levels, drainage and material deliveries, so we plan logistics early. We’re familiar with SE19 parking constraints and schedule drop-offs to keep roads clear and neighbours on side. Soil conditions vary across the ridge, so we tailor topsoil depths, irrigation allowances and plant choices for reliable establishment. For housing development landscaping in London Borough of Croydon, we also factor in SuDS-friendly surfacing and local tree considerations where applicable.

Costs vary by plot size, levels, specification and how many plots are included. As a guide, front garden landscaping often starts from £1,500–£4,000 per plot, while rear gardens commonly range £3,000–£12,000 depending on paving, turf and fencing. Driveways can be £4,000–£15,000+ based on area and surfacing. Communal areas and street planting are typically priced from measured drawings following a site visit.
Timescales depend on plot numbers, access, weather and whether groundworks are complete. A typical front garden may take 1–3 days, while a rear garden with paving, turf and fencing usually takes 4–10 working days. Driveways are often 3–7 days including sub-base and curing time. Communal areas and street planting are programmed around handovers and utilities, and we can phase works to match your build schedule.
Many garden and driveway works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. New or altered vehicle crossovers, certain boundary heights, works affecting protected trees, and drainage requirements for non-permeable surfacing can trigger approvals. Conservation area constraints may also apply around period streets. We check the relevant Croydon guidance, recommend permeable or SuDS-friendly options where needed, and flag anything that should be confirmed with the council before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, covering issues such as failed bedding, settlement from incorrect build-up, and installation defects on paving and edging when used as intended. Planting and turf are living materials, so these are covered for establishment subject to season, watering and aftercare; we’ll set out clear maintenance guidance. For developments, we can also include a defects period and scheduled return visits for snagging.
For period-led streetscapes, popular choices include clay pavers, sandstone or porcelain paving, and resin-bound or permeable block driveways. Boundary treatments often combine brick piers, timber slats, metal railings and acoustic fencing where needed. Planting schemes commonly use evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus robust street trees where permitted. We help you balance kerb appeal, durability and maintenance, presenting samples and a spec that suits your target buyer and budget.
