Shirley homeowners often want gardens that feel polished but still natural, with structure, colour and easy upkeep. We create tailored garden design and planting design schemes that suit how you use the space, whether it’s family-friendly lawns or a calmer retreat. Working near Shirley Windmill and across CR0, we deliver soft landscaping, borders and trees that settle in quickly. Expect tidy work, clear communication and a garden that improves with each season.
The area’s 1930s semis and detached houses typically have generous front and rear plots, while modern developments benefit from smarter zoning and low-maintenance planting. We design layouts that respect existing levels, patios and access routes, then refresh tired spaces with border planting, lawn installation and tree & shrub planting. If you’re near Addington Hills or commuting via Croydon, we plan schedules to minimise disruption. Every scheme is scaled to the property, not a template.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a practical design proposal, followed by a staged build plan and planting schedule. We specify the right topsoil, compost and turf for long-term performance, then finish with detailed aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose us for reliable timekeeping, clean working practices and consistent results. Ongoing maintenance plans are available to keep lawns, borders and shrubs looking sharp.
Shirley gardens can vary from free-draining slopes near Addington to heavier ground in more sheltered streets, so we tailor soil improvement and plant choices accordingly. Access and parking can be tighter around schools and busier routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We’re familiar with common plot sizes and boundary layouts in CR0, especially around 1930s homes. If any council considerations apply, we help you navigate them before work starts.

Costs depend on the scope and specification. As a guide, planting design and border planting often starts from £600–£1,500, while soft landscaping refreshes may range £2,000–£6,000. Lawn installation typically falls around £25–£45 per m² depending on ground preparation. Full garden renovation projects can be £8,000–£25,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Timescales vary with access, weather and the amount of groundwork required. A straightforward lawn installation can take 1–3 days including preparation. Border planting and tree & shrub planting is often 1–2 days, depending on quantities and soil improvement. A garden renovation with multiple zones may take 2–6 weeks. We agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated if conditions change.
Most garden landscaping, planting, turfing and general renovation works are usually permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply to boundary treatments, significant level changes, drainage alterations and works affecting protected trees. If your property is in a sensitive area or has a Tree Preservation Order, permissions may be required. We’ll flag likely issues early and help you check Croydon Council guidance before starting.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship for installed landscaping elements, giving you confidence in the build quality. This covers issues arising from installation rather than misuse, accidental damage or extreme weather events. Plants are living materials, so their success depends on season, aftercare and site conditions; we’ll advise on watering and maintenance to maximise establishment. Any concerns are handled promptly and professionally.
We tailor choices to your style and maintenance preferences. Popular options include structured evergreen frameworks with seasonal perennials, wildlife-friendly borders, low-maintenance shrub planting, and family lawns with durable turf. For trees, we often specify multi-stem specimens or smaller ornamentals to suit suburban plots. We’ll present a planting palette and layout options, explain pros and cons, and select materials that match your budget and how you use the garden.
