Shirley’s leafy streets deserve gardens that feel as well-finished as the homes themselves. Fine Landscaping creates outdoor spaces built for year-round use, whether you want a smarter frontage near Shirley Windmill or a family-friendly back garden close to Addington Hills. We combine design flair with robust construction, so patios stay level, lawns drain properly and planting thrives. Expect clear communication, tidy working and a result that adds real value.
Many properties in CR0 are 1930s semis with generous plots, plus detached houses and newer developments that benefit from sharper layout and structure. We regularly redesign long side returns, regrade sloping lawns, and modernise tired paving to match updated extensions and bifold doors. If you’re near Shirley Park Golf Club or commuting routes towards Croydon, we can also improve kerb appeal with a crisp driveway and coordinated planting. Every scheme is tailored to how you use the space—entertaining, play, pets or low-maintenance living.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a practical design that balances looks, drainage and budget. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, material choices and a realistic programme before we begin. We use proven installation methods for sub-bases, falls and fixings, and we keep you updated as the build progresses. Homeowners choose us because we deliver premium finishes, stand by our work, and make the experience straightforward from start to handover.
We understand the mix of clay-heavy soils and sloping ground seen around Shirley and Addington, so drainage and levels are designed in from day one. Access can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan deliveries, skips and parking to minimise disruption. Where front gardens are being converted to parking, we consider permeable options and crossover requirements. This local approach helps projects run smoothly and keeps finishes looking sharp for years.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, small upgrades (new turf, planting, minor paving) often start from £1,500–£4,000. A new patio commonly ranges £3,500–£12,000 depending on stone choice and groundwork. Driveways are typically £5,000–£18,000, while full garden transformations with design, hard and soft landscaping may be £12,000–£50,000+.
Timescales depend on complexity and weather. A straightforward patio or decking area is often 3–10 working days. A driveway installation commonly takes 1–3 weeks, especially if excavation and drainage are required. Full garden redesigns with walls, fencing, lighting, planting and turf typically run 3–8 weeks. Access, ground conditions, curing times and bespoke materials can extend the programme.
Many garden projects are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front driveways may need permeable surfacing or drainage to a soakaway rather than the road, and a new dropped kerb requires council approval. Walls, fences and decking heights can also trigger rules, especially near highways or in restricted areas. We check the relevant London Borough of Croydon guidance and advise what’s needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, incorrect falls, or installation defects. Materials are supplied with manufacturers’ guarantees where applicable. Soft landscaping (turf and plants) is living material, so coverage depends on season and aftercare, but we give clear care guidance and can offer maintenance visits to help everything establish well.
We design around how you live and the style of your property. Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a warmer look, and block paving or resin-bound finishes for driveways. For structure, we install closeboard or slatted fencing, composite or timber decking, and raised beds in brick or sleepers. We can also add water features, lighting and planting schemes, then help you compare samples and costs.
