Crystal Palace gardens often come with slopes, awkward corners and big potential. We design and build outdoor spaces that work for real life—whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Gipsy Hill. Expect a careful balance of hard landscaping and soft landscaping, finished with clean lines and robust detailing. We also handle garden clearance so your project starts on the right footing.
Our team is used to the varied housing around SE19 and SE20, from Victorian villas to Edwardian houses and period conversions. These properties often have narrower side access, established boundaries and mature trees that need thoughtful protection. We plan layouts that respect original features while modernising how the garden functions. If you’re in Upper Norwood, Anerley or Penge, we’ll tailor the design to your plot and lifestyle.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a practical design proposal, then schedule the build with minimal disruption. During installation we keep the site tidy, communicate progress, and manage levels, drainage and retaining structures properly—not as an afterthought. Every build is quality-checked, and we only use materials we’d be happy to install at our own homes. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent costs and workmanship that lasts.
The hilltop setting can mean windy, exposed plots and fast-draining soils, so we specify plants and finishes that cope well. Access can be tight around period homes, so we plan deliveries, protect hallways, and use smaller machinery when needed. We’re familiar with the patchwork of boundaries across Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, and we adapt designs to suit local constraints. If parking is restricted near the National Sports Centre, we schedule logistics to keep the build moving.

For most projects, landscaping in the Crystal Palace area typically falls between £100 and £250 per square metre, depending on materials, access and groundworks. Smaller refreshes may start around £5,000, while complete transformations with paving, steps, retaining walls and planting commonly range from £10,000 to £30,000. We’ll break costs down clearly so you can adjust scope and finishes to match your budget.
Most landscaping projects take 1–4 weeks on site. A straightforward patio and planting scheme can be completed in 1–2 weeks, while gardens needing significant clearance, drainage, level changes or retaining structures tend to run 3–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for specialist materials. We provide a realistic programme before work begins.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, but some elements can trigger permissions or approvals—especially raised platforms, tall retaining walls, major level changes, or work near boundaries. Rules can also vary by borough and whether your home is in a conservation area or a listed building. We’ll flag any likely issues early, advise on compliant design options, and help you check requirements with the relevant council before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as structural failure of installed hard landscaping, including sub-bases, laying methods and retaining structures built by us. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what’s included for your chosen products. We also give aftercare guidance for planting and surfaces so everything beds in properly and performs long-term.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a clean, modern look, sandstone for a warmer period feel, and clay or concrete pavers for paths and terraces. For level changes, we often use brickwork to complement Victorian and Edwardian properties, plus timber or composite for seating and screens. Soft landscaping can include evergreen structure, pollinator-friendly borders and low-maintenance lawns. We’ll guide you through options based on sunlight, exposure and how you use the space.
