If your new home has been handed over with a blank lawn and compacted soil, we can transform it into a practical outdoor space. Our team delivers full garden design, turfing, patios, fencing, planting, drainage and pathways across CR0, CR2 and CR9. We regularly work near East Croydon station and the Whitgift Centre, coordinating smoothly with tight access and busy streets. Expect a tidy site, clear timelines and a garden that looks finished from day one.
Croydon is one of South London’s largest boroughs, with everything from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and modern developments. That variety affects levels, boundaries, drainage routes and privacy needs, especially in areas such as South Croydon, Addiscombe and Shirley. New builds often arrive with poor topsoil and uneven falls, so we plan for proper ground preparation rather than quick cosmetic fixes. The result is a garden that settles well and stays usable through the seasons.
We start with a site survey, measurements and a design that matches how you’ll actually use the space. Next comes groundwork: drainage, levels, edging and sub-bases, followed by patios, pathways, fencing, turf and planting. You’ll get a written scope, staged payments and a dedicated point of contact throughout. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (around 10 minutes away), dependable on programme, and we stand behind the workmanship.
New build landscaping in London Borough of Croydon often needs extra attention to compaction, clay-heavy patches and run-off after handover. We factor in restricted access, parking controls and skip placement, particularly around busier routes near Fairfield Halls and East Croydon. Where plots are tight, we use smaller machinery and phased deliveries to keep neighbours onside. We also design for privacy and screening, which is a common request in modern developments.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification. As a guide, a straightforward new build tidy-up with soil improvement and turfing may start from £1,500–£3,500. A mid-size garden with patio, fencing and planting is often £6,000–£15,000. Larger plots, complex drainage, premium paving or show home gardens can run £15,000–£35,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on size and what’s included. Turfing and basic planting can be completed in a few days once ground preparation is done, while patios, pathways, fencing and drainage typically extend the programme. Timescales are affected by curing time for paving bases, weather, access restrictions and any changes to levels. We’ll agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, turfing, planting and like-for-like fencing. However, rules can apply to fence height (especially facing a highway), drainage and surface water management, and any works near listed buildings or within conservation areas. If you’re adding extensive hardstanding or changing levels significantly, extra checks may be needed. We flag likely requirements, design to comply, and can advise on contacting Croydon Council when appropriate.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements such as patios, pathways, edging, drainage runs and fencing, subject to normal use and maintenance. This covers issues arising from installation defects, for example settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. Living elements like plants and turf are also supported with aftercare guidance, as their success depends on watering and seasonal conditions.
We tailor designs to your home and how you’ll use the space, from family lawns to low-maintenance layouts. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, permeable paving options, timber or composite decking, closeboard or slatted fencing, raised planters, and contemporary pathways with setts or gravel. Planting can be evergreen screening, wildlife-friendly borders, or architectural grasses. We’ll show samples, explain pros and cons, and design around budget and maintenance preferences.
