Response within 24 hours
If your new home has been handed over with a blank, uneven plot, we can make it feel finished quickly. Our team designs and builds complete gardens across CR2, from South Croydon station up towards Sanderstead. Whether you want a family lawn, a smart patio for entertaining, or clean pathways and borders, we handle it end-to-end. We also create show home gardens for developers who need kerb appeal from day one.
South Croydon is a leafy residential area with excellent schools and generous plots, so gardens need to work hard for family life. We regularly landscape around large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, as well as new-build infill sites near Purley and Croydon. Levels, overlooked boundaries and compact side access are common challenges, and we plan the build to suit. Planting schemes are chosen to look good year-round without becoming high-maintenance.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule the build in logical stages: groundworks, drainage, hard landscaping and finishing. You’ll get straightforward specifications for turf, paving, fencing and planting, so there are no surprises. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, and we keep the site tidy and safe throughout. Many homeowners choose us because we’re based just 15 minutes away and can respond quickly if anything needs adjusting.
We’re used to South Croydon’s mix of sloping plots and heavier soils, so drainage and levels are designed in from the start. Parking and access can be tight around CR2 streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For homes near Lloyd Park or Croham Hurst Woods, we often recommend planting that copes with shade and leaf drop. If any works touch boundaries, walls or front gardens, we’ll flag relevant London Borough of Croydon considerations before you commit.

Costs depend on size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple new-build tidy-up with turfing and basic planting might start around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-range garden with patio, fencing, turf and borders often falls between £8,000–£18,000. Larger plots or show-home finishes with premium paving, steps, drainage and lighting can be £20,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on weather and how much groundworks are required. Turfing and planting can be completed quickly, but patios, pathways and fencing add time, especially if we’re correcting levels or installing drainage. Lead times for materials can also affect the start date. We’ll give you a clear programme and keep you updated if conditions change during excavation.
Most rear garden landscaping—patios, turfing, planting and standard fencing—usually falls under permitted development. However, rules can apply to fence heights near highways, listed buildings, conservation areas, and significant changes to ground levels or drainage outfalls. Front garden works and new hardstanding can also have requirements around permeable surfaces. We’ll check the practical constraints for your property and advise if you need to contact the London Borough of Croydon.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as patios, pathways, edging and fencing (subject to normal use and maintenance). This covers issues caused by installation faults, for example movement from inadequate sub-base or poor fixing. Living materials like turf and plants are covered differently because establishment depends on aftercare, weather and watering, but we’ll give clear care guidance and can offer maintenance visits.
Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, permeable paving for problem areas, and clean timber or composite fencing for privacy. For planting, we often use evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus low-maintenance grasses and pollinator-friendly perennials. Pathways can be stepping stones, setts or resin-bound finishes depending on style and budget. We’ll match materials to your home’s architecture and provide samples so you can choose confidently.
