If your garden needs a full rethink, Fine Landscaping delivers tailored builds that suit how you live. We work across CR0, CR2 and CR9, including projects near East Croydon station and the Whitgift Centre. Whether you want a low-maintenance terrace, a family-friendly lawn area, or a modern entertaining space, we design and construct it as one coordinated job. Expect clear communication, neat workmanship and a finish that elevates the whole property.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments means no two gardens behave the same. We regularly landscape long, narrow plots in Addiscombe, sloped gardens in South Croydon, and newer rear courtyards in Waddon and Shirley. Our team plans drainage, access routes and material choices around your specific layout. The result is a garden that looks right for the house and works properly year-round.
We start with a site survey, then produce a practical design and itemised specification so you know what’s included. Our service covers soft landscaping, hard landscaping, garden clearance, level changes, retaining structures and complete transformations. You’ll have a named point of contact, a realistic programme (typically 1–4 weeks), and clean handover with aftercare advice. Local homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, tidy sites and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
The landscaping Croydon area often includes clay-heavy soils and gardens with awkward level shifts, so we prioritise drainage and stable sub-bases. Parking and access can be tight around Addiscombe and near East Croydon, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary responsibilities, shared access paths and any relevant London Borough of Croydon requirements. This local approach helps projects run smoothly and prevents avoidable rework later.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For landscaping in London Borough of Croydon, budgets commonly sit between £100–£250 per square metre depending on materials, groundwork and levels. Typical total project costs are around £5,000–£30,000, covering clearance, bases, paving, turfing/planting and any retaining structures. Complex drainage, large patios, premium stone or significant excavation can push costs higher, while simpler refreshes with minimal groundworks can be lower.
Most projects take 1–4 weeks once work starts, depending on garden size and complexity. Clearance and ground preparation can be quick, but level changes, retaining walls and drainage add time. Weather, access constraints, curing times for concrete and the availability of specific materials can also affect the programme. We provide a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated if anything on site changes the timeline.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing and most planting. However, rules can apply to large raised platforms, significant changes to ground levels, boundary walls/fences over certain heights, and works near highways or listed buildings. We flag potential issues early and can advise when it’s sensible to check with the London Borough of Croydon. If permissions are needed, we’ll help you gather the right information.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering structural integrity and build quality for elements such as paving sub-bases, retaining structures and installed edging. It’s designed to give peace of mind that the garden is built correctly, not just made to look good on day one. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, accidental damage or normal wear, and living plants are subject to seasonal conditions.
We offer a wide range of finishes, from porcelain and natural stone paving to block paving, gravel paths and timber or composite decking. For soft landscaping, we can include new lawns, low-maintenance planting borders, screening hedges and feature trees. Designs can incorporate steps, lighting-ready ducting and retaining walls where levels change. We’ll recommend options based on your budget, sun/shade, drainage needs and how much maintenance you want.
