If your garden needs a fresh layout, better planting, or a complete overhaul, Fine Landscaping provides a full contractor service across CR2. We work around South Croydon station, Lloyd Park and nearby streets to deliver garden design, soft landscaping and lawn installation with minimal disruption. Whether you want crisp borders, a family lawn or a calmer, greener outlook, we tailor the plan to your space. Expect tidy sites, clear schedules and a finish that looks established quickly.
South Croydon’s leafy roads include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, each with different levels, access and drainage challenges. We design planting schemes that suit mature gardens and shaded boundaries, then install them with the right soil improvement and aftercare. For sloping plots near Croham Hurst Woods or more formal gardens towards Sanderstead and Purley, we balance structure with seasonal colour. The result is a garden that feels appropriate for the property, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a practical design proposal covering layout, planting design and maintenance needs. We schedule works in sensible phases—ground preparation, soft landscaping, border planting, then lawn installation—so quality doesn’t get rushed. Every project is managed by experienced landscapers, with workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for straight answers, careful planting and a finish that stays sharp year after year.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon often mix clay-heavy ground with pockets of chalk, so we adjust soil conditioning, drainage and plant choice accordingly. Many CR2 homes have narrow side access and shared driveways, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to avoid neighbour issues. We also factor in mature trees and shaded boundaries common around Coombe Wood and Selsdon. The aim is a garden that thrives in local conditions, not just on day one.

Costs vary by access, ground conditions and the scope of design and planting. As a guide, soft landscaping and planting refreshes often start from £1,500–£4,000. Lawn installation typically ranges from £1,200–£3,500 depending on preparation and turf quality. Full garden renovation with design, soil improvement and extensive planting is commonly £6,000–£25,000+. We provide itemised estimates after a site visit.
Small planting and border upgrades can take 1–3 days, while lawn installation is often 2–5 days including groundwork. A larger garden renovation with design, soil improvement and phased planting commonly runs 2–6 weeks. Timescales depend on weather, curing time for ground preparation, access for materials, and whether you want mature trees/shrubs or more intricate planting design. We agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden works—soft landscaping, planting, lawns and general renovation—are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works affect protected trees (TPOs) or alter levels and drainage significantly. We check the relevant London Borough of Croydon guidance, flag any risks early, and can advise on applications or arboricultural checks where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues caused by poor installation or construction methods. This includes things like edging failures, settlement due to inadequate preparation, or incorrect fixing where we’ve supplied and installed. Living materials such as plants are subject to seasonal factors, but we specify suitable stock, install correctly and can offer maintenance plans to improve establishment. Warranty terms are provided in writing.
We offer garden design, planting design and soft landscaping tailored to how you use the space. Popular options include structured evergreen frameworks, wildlife-friendly borders, low-maintenance shrub schemes, and layered planting with grasses and perennials for long seasonal interest. For lawns, we can install premium turf and improve soil for better drainage and resilience. We’ll recommend plant palettes for sun, shade and clay/chalk conditions, then source quality stock to match the design.
