New developments around Upper Norwood and SE19 often come with compact, unfinished outdoor space and heavy, builder-grade subsoil. We provide a complete New Build Landscaping service that makes the garden usable from day one, with smart levels, durable surfaces and planting that suits the light. Whether you’re close to Norwood Grove Park or walking distance to Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, we plan layouts that work for real family life. Expect tidy site management and a finish that looks established, not rushed.
Norwood Grove has a mix of Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions, alongside newer infill builds that need thoughtful transitions to existing boundaries. We’re used to narrow side access, shared paths and neighbours close by, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. For homeowners upgrading a new-build rear garden behind a period façade, we match materials and detailing to the character of the property. The result feels consistent with the street, not like an afterthought.
Our process starts with a measured survey, drainage checks and a clear design proposal, then a staged build: groundworks, levels, hard landscaping, and finally turfing and planting. You’ll get a written scope, realistic timelines and options for finishes, so there are no surprises. We protect existing structures, keep the site safe and leave it clean at completion. Local homeowners choose us for dependable communication and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
Ground conditions in the London Borough of Croydon can vary, but new builds commonly suffer from compacted subsoil and poor falls. We test levels, specify suitable aggregates and install drainage where needed before laying turf or paving. Access can be tight around period conversions in Crystal Palace and South Norwood, so we plan barrow routes, protect shared areas and coordinate parking and deliveries. We also factor in local guidance on front gardens, boundary heights and surface water run-off.

Costs depend on size, access and how much hard landscaping is included. As a guide, a simple refresh with soil improvement and turfing often starts around £2,000–£4,500. A mid-range package with patio, pathways, fencing and planting commonly falls between £6,000–£15,000. Larger gardens, extensive drainage, retaining edges or premium paving can take projects to £20,000+. We provide itemised options after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the scope. Turfing with basic preparation can be completed in a few days, while patios, pathways, fencing and planting typically need 7–14 days. Drainage, significant level changes or restricted access can extend timelines. Weather also plays a part, especially for groundworks and turf establishment. We agree a staged programme so you know what happens when.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, paths, turfing and typical boundary fencing. However, rules can apply to front garden surfacing (especially drainage), fence heights next to highways, retaining structures, and any works affecting protected trees. Some new-build estates also have covenants or management company requirements. We flag potential issues early, check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Croydon, and can suggest compliant permeable solutions.
We include a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as patios, pathways, edging, drainage installations and fencing structures, provided they’re used normally and maintained sensibly. Turf and plants are living materials, so their success depends on watering and aftercare; we’ll give clear care instructions and can offer maintenance visits. If any workmanship-related issues arise, we respond quickly and put them right.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a warmer traditional look, and resin-bound or gravel paths where permeability matters. For boundaries, closeboard fencing with concrete posts is common, while slatted screens add a modern feel. Planting often combines evergreen structure with pollinator-friendly perennials and low-hedging. We guide you through options based on light, privacy needs, and how you want to use the space day to day.
