Moving into a new home in BR3 often means starting with a blank plot, uneven levels and compacted soil. Our team creates complete outdoor spaces with full garden design, turfing, patio installation, fencing, planting, drainage and pathways. We regularly work near Elmers End station and along routes served by the Croydon Tramlink, so scheduling and access are straightforward. If you want a show-home finish, we can deliver a polished, ready-to-enjoy garden.
Elmers End and neighbouring Beckenham, Penge and South Norwood have a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and Edwardian houses, each with different garden proportions and access points. We design layouts that suit narrower side returns, long rear gardens and shared boundaries. Where plots are overlooked, we add privacy with smart fencing, screening planting and zoning. The result is a garden that fits the property style rather than feeling like an afterthought.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and how you’ll use the space, then provide a clear plan and itemised quotation. Our build process is tidy and structured: groundworks first, then hard landscaping, then turfing and planting for the best establishment. You’ll get practical advice on aftercare, plus a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable timings, premium materials and clean finishes.
New plots around Elmers End can have compacted subsoil and uneven falls, so we prioritise drainage and correct build-ups before turfing or paving. We plan deliveries and waste removal with local parking constraints in mind, especially near Elmers End Green and tram routes. Boundary lines and shared access are common on period streets, so we confirm levels and fence positions early. Our approach keeps projects compliant, practical and neighbour-friendly.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple new-build tidy-up with soil prep and turfing might start around £1,800–£3,500. A mid-range garden with a patio, fencing and planting often falls between £6,000–£15,000. Full transformations with drainage, multiple zones, pathways and premium paving can be £15,000–£35,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on scope. Turfing and basic planting can be completed in a few days once ground preparation is done. A garden with patio installation, fencing, pathways and drainage typically takes 2–4 weeks, especially if there are level changes or restricted access. Weather, curing times for mortar/concrete and material lead times can also affect the schedule. We agree timings before work begins.
Many garden works are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing and most fencing (within height limits). Planning can be needed for items like walls over certain heights, significant changes to levels, works affecting trees, or if your property has specific conditions on the new-build planning consent. Drainage and paving may also need to follow permeable surfacing rules. We flag likely requirements and can help you check Bromley guidance before starting.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations such as patios, pathways, drainage and fencing, provided they’re used and maintained normally. The warranty covers defects caused by installation issues, including movement from incorrect sub-bases or poor fixing methods. Natural settling, storm damage and general wear aren’t covered, and plants are subject to seasonal factors. We’ll explain what’s included for your specific design and materials in writing.
We tailor designs to how you live and the style of your home. Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a warmer look, and permeable block or gravel paths for drainage. For boundaries, we install closeboard or slatted fencing, plus trellis or screens for privacy. Planting can range from evergreen structure to wildlife-friendly borders. We’ll guide you through samples, layout options and a planting plan that suits sun, shade and upkeep.
