If your garden feels dated, awkwardly sloped or hard to maintain, we can redesign it from the ground up. We carry out full landscaping projects across CR8, including gardens near Purley Cross and along routes towards Purley Way. Expect clear planning, tidy working practices and a finish that suits how you live outdoors. Soft landscaping and hard landscaping can be delivered as a single, coordinated build.
Purley’s leafy plots often come with generous lawns, mature boundaries and tricky gradients as you head towards the North Downs. We regularly work on large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes, creating terraces, steps and structured planting that feel in keeping with the house. For homes around Purley Oaks, Kenley and Sanderstead, we also improve drainage and access so the garden works in every season. The result is a space that looks established, not newly “done”.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a practical design that matches your budget and priorities. Next comes garden clearance, set-out and groundworks, followed by hard landscaping, then planting and finishing details. You’ll get a written scope, realistic programme (typically 1–4 weeks) and regular updates throughout. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Gardens in Purley and the wider London Borough of Croydon often combine clay pockets with chalky ground nearer Riddlesdown, which affects drainage and planting choices. Access can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. Sloping plots are common, so we engineer stable level changes and retaining structures with proper foundations. We also tailor materials and detailing to suit period homes and 1930s façades.

For Landscaping in Purley, most projects fall within £100–£250 per square metre depending on groundworks, levels and material choices. Typical overall budgets are around £5,000–£30,000 for a complete transformation. Costs rise where you need significant excavation, drainage, steps or retaining structures, or premium paving. After a site visit, we provide a detailed, itemised estimate so you can see where the budget goes.
Most landscaping projects take 1–4 weeks on site, depending on the size of the garden and the scope of works. Simple hard landscaping with light planting can be completed faster, while level changes, retaining walls, drainage and multiple patio areas add time. Weather and access for deliveries can also affect the programme. We’ll agree a realistic schedule before starting and keep you updated as the build progresses.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, such as patios, paths, planting and like-for-like boundary repairs. However, permissions can apply for higher retaining walls, changes affecting public highways, listed buildings, or work near protected trees. Drainage rules may also apply, especially where runoff could reach the street. We’ll flag likely requirements early, advise on compliant options, and can help you check Croydon Council guidance before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and the integrity of key build elements such as sub-bases, bedding layers and structural construction. It’s designed to give you confidence that paving, steps and retaining features have been built correctly. Warranty terms depend on the specification and correct use, and we’ll explain what’s included in writing. Planting is covered separately due to seasonal factors.
We tailor each scheme to your home and how you use the garden. Popular choices include porcelain patios, sandstone or granite paving, composite or timber decking, brick or stone edging, and rendered or sleeper-style retaining structures. For soft landscaping, we design planting with evergreen structure, pollinator-friendly borders, and low-maintenance lawn options. We’ll guide you through samples, drainage needs and colour palettes so the finished garden feels cohesive and practical.
