Upper Norwood gardens often need smart design to match the area’s character and changing levels. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or a short walk from Westow Park, we create outdoor spaces that feel considered and easy to live with. Our team handles everything from patios and fencing to planting schemes and water features. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication, and a finish that complements your home.
We’re used to working around Victorian villas, Edwardian houses, and period conversions across SE19, where access can be tight and boundaries are often irregular. Many properties benefit from re-levelled lawns, improved drainage, and better-defined entertaining areas. If your garden is shaded by mature trees or sits on a slope, we’ll propose planting and materials that perform well year-round. Our landscaper contractors Upper Norwood area homeowners rely on can modernise a garden without losing its heritage feel.
We start with a site visit, listening to how you want to use the space, then produce a practical design with material options and a staged plan. You’ll receive a transparent specification, realistic programme, and a dedicated point of contact throughout the build. We protect existing features, keep neighbours in mind, and leave the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose our landscaper contractors in London Borough of Croydon for dependable scheduling and long-lasting results.
Upper Norwood’s hilltop setting can mean sloping plots, exposed corners, and pockets of heavy clay that need careful groundwork. Parking and access can be limited on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal, and working hours to minimise disruption. We also consider Croydon council requirements for driveway drainage and any constraints affecting period homes. The result is a build that looks right and performs well in local conditions.

Costs vary by access, levels, and material choice. As a guide, small patio or fencing projects often start from £1,500–£4,000. Mid-size patio and planting upgrades commonly fall around £6,000–£15,000. Full garden redesigns with hard and soft landscaping can range from £15,000–£40,000+, while driveways typically sit between £5,000–£20,000 depending on size and drainage requirements.
Timescales depend on scope and site constraints. A fence line or small patio can take 2–5 days, while a new patio with steps and planting is often 1–3 weeks. Full garden design-and-build projects typically run 3–8 weeks. Sloping ground, restricted access, curing times for concrete, and bespoke items (like gates or water features) can extend the programme, especially in wetter months.
Many garden projects are permitted development, including patios, paths, and most fencing within height limits. Driveways can be permitted too, but rules often focus on surface water drainage; permeable paving or suitable run-off solutions may be required. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you’re changing levels significantly, extra checks may apply. We review the details, flag risks early, and can advise on any applications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping installations such as patios, retaining edges, steps, and driveway sub-bases, provided the area is used and maintained normally. Materials are covered by the relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. Soft landscaping and planting are living elements, so coverage depends on season and care, but we’ll advise on aftercare and can provide maintenance plans for best results.
We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your home and budget, from porcelain paving and natural sandstone to setts, gravel, and permeable block paving for driveways. For fencing, popular options include closeboard, slatted screens, and bespoke gates. Planting schemes can range from low-maintenance evergreens to cottage-style borders, with optional water features such as rills or bubbling stones. We bring samples and visuals to make decisions straightforward.
