Addiscombe homeowners often want a garden that looks tidy without spending every weekend weeding and mowing. We create practical outdoor spaces near Addiscombe tram stop and Ashburton Park that stay neat in every season. From artificial grass to gravel areas and evergreen structure planting, each element is chosen for long-term performance. The result is a garden that suits real life, not constant maintenance.
The Addiscombe area includes Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and plenty of 1930s semis, many with compact rear gardens and side-return access. We design layouts that maximise usable space, improve drainage and reduce muddy patches. For families around East Croydon and Shirley, we often add robust zones for seating, play and storage. Container planting can also bring colour where borders are limited or paved.
We start with a site visit to understand how you use the garden, light levels and existing levels. You’ll receive a clear plan, material options and a tidy, scheduled installation—usually with minimal disruption. Our team is based just 10 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable workmanship, clean finishes and a warranty-backed build.
Gardens in CR0 often have heavy clay and shaded boundaries, so we prioritise drainage, stable sub-bases and the right planting palette. Access can be tight on terrace rows, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and on-site cutting to keep disruption down. We also consider local requirements in the London Borough of Croydon, especially for drainage and boundary works. Our solutions suit smaller plots as well as longer 1930s gardens with level changes.

We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship for qualifying projects, covering issues such as sub-base failure, movement due to poor preparation, and defects in fitting. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking and irrigation components, and we’ll register these where required.
