Upper Norwood gardens often sit on sloping plots with big views, so good layout and planting structure matter. We work across SE19, including Crystal Palace and Norwood New Town, creating gardens that feel balanced from every level. Whether you want a full redesign or a targeted refresh, we handle garden design, planting design and soft landscaping end-to-end. Expect clear plans, careful workmanship and a finish that complements the area’s character near Crystal Palace Park.
Many homes here are Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, each with different access, light and soil conditions. We’re used to narrow side returns, stepped patios and long rear gardens that need zoning for dining, play and planting. Our landscape gardener contractors Upper Norwood area clients often ask for lawn installation, border planting and evergreen structure to frame the view. We also design for privacy without blocking light, using the right trees and shrubs for scale.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a practical design proposal that fits your budget and how you use the garden. Once agreed, our team schedules the works, keeps the site tidy, and communicates progress clearly from first dig to final mulch. Every project is built to last, with quality materials and proven installation methods. Homeowners choose us because we’re local, consistent, and we stand behind the result with robust aftercare and maintenance plans.
Upper Norwood’s hilltop setting can mean exposed spots, fast-draining areas and shaded corners behind mature trees. We specify plants and soil improvements to suit these microclimates and keep lawns thriving. Access and parking around SE19 can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. As landscape gardener contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we also factor in local constraints such as boundary lines and conservation considerations where relevant.

Costs vary by access, levels, and how much design and planting is involved. As a guide, planting refreshes and border improvements often start from £800–£2,500. Lawn installation is commonly £45–£90 per m² depending on preparation and turf type. Full garden renovation with design, soft landscaping and trees/shrubs is typically £6,000–£25,000+, especially for multi-level SE19 plots.
Small planting and lawn projects can take 1–3 days, while a medium garden renovation is often 1–3 weeks. Larger schemes with levels, extensive planting and multiple zones may run 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access (steps and narrow paths are common), weather, lead times for plants, and whether you want phased work. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Most soft landscaping, planting, lawns and typical garden renovations are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary treatments, significantly changing ground levels, or working near protected trees. Some works may also need checks for Tree Preservation Orders. We flag any likely permissions early and can help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Croydon.
