Crystal Palace gardens often need smart planning to make the most of sloping plots and long views. We create tailored garden design and planting design that suit how you use the space, whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Anerley. Our team delivers soft landscaping, border planting and lawn installation with a clean, premium finish. Expect a garden that feels considered in every season, not just on day one.
Across SE19 and SE20 we work on Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions where outdoor space can be compact, tiered or shaded by mature trees. We design borders that thrive in mixed light and choose plants that cope with wind exposure on the hill. If your garden has tired paving edges, thin turf or overgrown shrubs, a focused renovation can transform it quickly. We also plan for family use, pets and low-maintenance living without sacrificing style.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear proposal covering layout, planting and build sequence. You’ll get practical recommendations, transparent options and a schedule that respects neighbours and access constraints. Our crews work tidily, protect existing features, and communicate throughout so there are no surprises. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, aftercare advice and maintenance plans that keep the garden performing.
Crystal Palace sits across boundaries, so we’re used to working with requirements in the London Borough of Bromley/Croydon/Lambeth/Southwark/Lewisham. Hilltop exposure, mature tree roots and variable drainage can affect planting and lawn performance, so we specify resilient species and correct soil structure. Access and parking can be tight around Upper Norwood and Gipsy Hill, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in period property details, keeping garden edges and layouts sympathetic to the house.

Costs vary by access, levels, planting density and whether you’re renovating or starting fresh. As a guide, planting design and border planting often start from £800–£2,500, while soft landscaping and lawn installation commonly fall around £2,500–£8,000. Larger garden renovations with tree and shrub planting can range from £8,000–£25,000+. We provide itemised options so you can scale the scope to budget.
Most projects run from 2–10 working days once materials and plants are confirmed. A straightforward lawn installation and border planting may take 2–4 days, while a full renovation with clearance, soil improvement, planting and finishing details can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on garden size, slopes, weather, access for deliveries, and whether you’re keeping existing features. We’ll agree a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, especially soft landscaping, planting, lawns and most maintenance work. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary treatments, working near protected trees, or affecting drainage and levels. Because Crystal Palace spans several councils, we check the relevant London Borough guidance and advise what may need consent. If permissions are required, we can help you prepare the information needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues that arise from installation faults under normal use. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently: we source quality stock, plant correctly, and provide aftercare guidance to maximise establishment. If a plant fails due to proven planting or installation error, we’ll put it right. Ongoing maintenance plans further improve long-term results.
We tailor options to your style and how you use the space. Popular choices include structured evergreen frameworks with seasonal perennials, wildlife-friendly borders, shade-tolerant planting under trees, and robust lawns for families. For renovation projects we can improve soil with compost and conditioners, reshape borders, and add tree and shrub planting for privacy. We’ll guide you on colour palettes, heights and maintenance levels so the garden stays cohesive year-round.
