If you want a garden that stays neat without weekend chores, our low maintenance designs are built for Norwood Grove life. We create clean, durable outdoor spaces near Norwood Grove Park and the SE19 streets around Upper Norwood. Expect smart hard landscaping, gravel areas and planting that holds its shape through every season. The result is a garden that looks intentional, not “done on the cheap”.
Homes around Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and South Norwood often have compact plots, side returns and split-level terraces that need careful layout. Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions benefit from crisp edges, level changes handled properly, and materials that suit the architecture. We design for practical access, storage, bin routes and seating that actually fits. Every scheme balances low effort with a premium finish.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear proposal covering materials, drainage and aftercare. Installation includes proper sub-bases, weed membrane where needed, and tidy detailing so the garden stays low maintenance long-term. You’ll have one point of contact from design to build, with respectful working practices and a clean site at the end of each day. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty for extra peace of mind.
Norwood Grove gardens can sit on sloping ground and varied soils, so we plan levels, drainage and retaining details carefully. Parking and access can be tight near Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary walls and shared access typical of period conversions. Where council guidance applies in the London Borough of Croydon, we help you stay compliant from the outset.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a small refresh with gravel areas, weed membrane and container planting may start from £2,000–£4,000. Mid-size gardens with artificial grass and new edging often fall around £5,000–£12,000. Full transformations with composite decking, hard landscaping and automated irrigation are commonly £12,000–£25,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects in Norwood Grove take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, groundwork and finishes. A straightforward artificial grass or gravel install may be completed in 2–4 days. Composite decking, steps, walls and irrigation typically extend the programme to 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, drying times for concrete, and whether levels or drainage need correcting. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as decking at appropriate heights, patios, planting schemes and most hard landscaping. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, building tall walls, affecting drainage, or working near boundaries. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, additional checks may apply. We’ll flag any likely permissions early and can guide you on Croydon requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for qualifying installations, covering issues such as failing sub-bases, movement caused by poor installation, and defects in construction detailing. Manufacturer warranties also apply to products like composite decking and irrigation components, subject to their terms. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of basic care (such as clearing drains). You’ll receive written confirmation of what’s included.
Popular options include premium artificial grass with proper drainage layers, composite decking in modern greys or warmer tones, and gravel areas with crisp edging and weed membrane. For planting, we use evergreen structure (such as shrubs and architectural grasses) plus container planting for flexible colour. Automated irrigation can be zoned for beds and pots. We’ll recommend finishes that suit your period property, budget and how you use the space.
