Crystal Palace gardens often need smart planning to make the most of sloping plots and big views. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Anerley, we design and build outdoor spaces that feel practical and refined. Our team covers garden design, hard landscaping and soft landscaping, so your project stays consistent from first sketch to final finish. We also create planting schemes and water features that sit naturally within the setting.
From Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to period conversions around SE19 and SE20, we’re used to working with mature boundaries, narrow side access and existing brickwork that deserves respect. We can modernise a tired layout without losing the character of original materials and proportions. If you need a new patio for entertaining, a safer set of steps, or a driveway that complements period frontage, we’ll tailor the specification to your property. Planting is chosen for structure, seasonal interest and manageable upkeep.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a straightforward proposal that breaks down options for finishes and budgets. You’ll get a staged plan covering groundworks, drainage, construction and planting, with realistic timescales and tidy handovers. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, protect the site, and deliver crisp detailing on paving, edging and timberwork. We’re only 15 minutes away, so support and follow-ups are quick and reliable.
We regularly work as landscaper contractors Crystal Palace area, including Upper Norwood, Penge and Gipsy Hill. The hilltop terrain can mean changes in levels, retaining details and careful drainage design, especially after heavy rain. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where boundaries sit across London Borough of Bromley/Croydon/Lambeth/Southwark/Lewisham lines, we also factor in local requirements and neighbour considerations.

Costs vary by access, levels, drainage needs and finish. As a guide, small patio builds often start from £2,500–£6,000, while larger patios with steps, lighting prep or retaining can be £8,000–£20,000+. Driveways typically range from £6,000–£18,000 depending on size and sub-base. Full garden redesigns with planting schemes and fencing are commonly £12,000–£40,000+.
Timescales depend on scope and ground conditions. A straightforward patio or small fencing run may take 3–7 working days, while a driveway is often 1–2 weeks including excavation and curing time. A full garden project with levels, drainage, hard landscaping and planting typically runs 3–8 weeks. Weather, access through the house, and any unexpected underground issues (old footings, services) can extend the programme.
Many garden works are permitted development, but there are key exceptions. Driveways may need compliant permeable surfacing or suitable drainage to avoid planning issues, and front garden changes can have extra rules. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, restrictions can apply to walls, railings and materials. We’ll advise early, check the relevant borough guidance, and help you plan a compliant approach before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our hard landscaping installations, covering issues arising from our construction methods such as movement due to poor sub-base preparation or incorrect laying. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what each product includes. We also give clear aftercare guidance for paving, timber and planting. If anything needs attention, we respond quickly and put it right.
We design around how you use the space and the style of your property. Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a softer period look, and block paving or resin-bound for driveways (with proper drainage). For fencing, we fit slatted screens, closeboard or bespoke timber detailing. Planting schemes can be contemporary architectural or cottage-style, and we can add water features for sound and movement.
