Coulsdon’s semi-rural setting brings bigger plots, sloping lawns and views towards Farthing Downs and Happy Valley. We design and build outdoor spaces that suit how you live—whether that’s a low-maintenance family garden, a smart entertaining terrace, or a practical front drive. Our team handles everything from excavation and drainage to planting and finishing details. Expect clean lines, robust construction and a garden that feels right for CR5.
Homes across Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley range from large detached houses to well-loved 1930s properties and newer developments. Each type has its own challenges—narrow side access, mature trees, uneven levels, or tired paving that needs upgrading. We plan layouts that improve flow, privacy and usability without losing the character of the property. Planting schemes are chosen to thrive in local conditions and look good across the seasons.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal, then a staged build programme you can rely on. You’ll get transparent specifications, tidy working practices and regular updates while we’re on site. We use proven construction methods for patios, retaining edges and sub-bases to prevent movement and puddling. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clear communication and long-lasting results backed by warranty.
Gardens around Coulsdon Common and Hooley often include slopes, clay-heavy ground and mature roots that affect drainage and foundations. We factor in access routes, skip placement and parking so the build runs smoothly on residential roads. Where front gardens become driveways, we design compliant drainage solutions and specify permeable options where needed. Our approach suits the varied housing stock across the London Borough of Croydon, from 1930s plots to modern builds.

Costs vary by size, access, levels and specification. As a guide, small patio or fencing projects often start from £2,000–£6,000. A mid-sized garden upgrade with paving, turf and planting is commonly £8,000–£25,000. Full redesigns including hard landscaping, lighting prep, retaining work and premium materials can be £25,000–£70,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after a site visit.
Most builds run from 1–2 weeks for a patio, driveway or fencing package, and 3–8 weeks for a full garden transformation. Timescales depend on groundworks, drainage, level changes, curing time for concrete, and lead times for bespoke items such as gates or composite decking. Weather and access can also affect progress. We agree a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden works are permitted development, including patios, paths and most fencing (within height limits). Driveways can be permitted too, but rules apply to drainage—new or replacement front paving usually needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area rather than the highway. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you’re altering levels significantly, extra checks may be needed. We review requirements and advise before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping installations such as patios, driveways, retaining details and decking structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. It covers defects arising from installation, including issues linked to sub-base preparation and construction methods. Materials are covered by the relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll also explain aftercare so your paving, timber and planting perform well long-term.
We tailor designs to your home and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean, low-maintenance terraces; natural sandstone for a softer look; resin-bound or block paving for driveways; contemporary slatted fencing; and timber or composite decking. Soft landscaping can range from structured evergreen planting to meadow-style borders, with options for water features and lighting-ready layouts. We bring samples and help you balance style, durability and budget.
