New homes often come with compacted soil, poor drainage and a basic handover finish. Our team upgrades plots across CR7 with practical layouts, crisp edges and planting that settles quickly. If you’re near Thornton Heath station or walking routes by Grangewood Park, we can transform your garden without weeks of disruption. Expect a tidy site, clear timelines and a garden you’ll actually use.
Thornton Heath’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses means gardens vary from long narrow plots to wider family spaces. We design around typical constraints such as shared side access, party fences and level changes between properties. Whether you’re extending a new-build rear garden or refreshing a modern infill plot close to Broad Green, we tailor the build-up layers and finishes to suit. The aim is a durable garden that looks established, not newly laid.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design plan that covers levels, drainage and materials. You’ll receive a written scope, staged schedule and straightforward options for turfing, patios, fencing, pathways and planting. Our crews protect neighbouring boundaries, keep access routes clear and leave the site clean each day. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we’re five minutes away and we stand behind the workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, new-build plots can suffer from compacted subsoil and water sitting after heavy rain. We specify the right topsoil depths, falls and drainage runs to prevent soggy lawns and puddling near patios. Access can be tight on terrace streets around Selhurst, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to keep neighbours onside. Our approach suits everything from slim Victorian gardens to wider 1930s plots.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide in Thornton Heath, a simple turf-and-border refresh may start around £1,500–£3,500. A mid-range package with patio, fencing and planting is often £6,000–£15,000. Full garden design with drainage, multiple zones, pathways and premium materials can be £15,000–£35,000+. We’ll itemise options so you can scale up or down.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are booked in. A small plot with turfing, a short path and fence repairs can be finished in 3–5 days. Larger gardens with patio installation, drainage, raised beds and extensive planting typically need 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, curing time for bases, access for machinery, and weather—especially during heavy rain or frost.
Many garden works are permitted development, including patios, paths, turfing, planting and most fencing (within height limits). Permission can be needed in specific cases, such as listed buildings, conservation considerations, high front boundary walls, or changes that affect drainage to the highway. In the London Borough of Croydon we also consider permeable surfacing and surface-water run-off rules. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you check before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as patios, pathways, edging and structural build-ups, when used and maintained normally. This covers issues caused by installation faults, including movement from inadequate bases or poor falls. Living elements like turf and plants are covered for initial establishment subject to watering and seasonal conditions. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before you proceed.
We design to match your home and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone for a warmer look, and gravel or resin-bound paths where permeability matters. For fencing, we fit closeboard, slatted screens or contemporary composite panels. Planting can be evergreen structure with seasonal colour, or wildlife-friendly borders. We’ll show samples, propose layouts, and balance budget, durability and style.
