Sanderstead gardens are made for relaxed entertaining, especially around Sanderstead Recreation Ground and the leafy lanes leading towards Purley. We design and build outdoor seating areas that feel like a natural extension of your home—whether that’s a calm sun-lounging corner or a generous dining space for weekends. Expect clean lines, premium finishes and thoughtful details such as shade structures and integrated lighting. Everything is planned to suit how you use your garden in CR2.
With Sanderstead’s mix of large detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, seating layouts need to be tailored—not copied from a brochure. We regularly create stepped patio areas for sloping plots and design pergola seating that complements traditional brickwork and mature planting. If you’re in Selsdon or Hamsey Green, we’ll factor in privacy, wind and evening sun so the space is comfortable, not just attractive. The result is a practical outdoor room that works from spring through autumn.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear design and itemised specification. Our team handles groundworks, sub-bases, paving and electrics for lighting, keeping the site tidy and safe throughout. You’ll get a realistic programme, regular updates, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we deliver premium finishes without surprises—and we’re only 20 minutes away if you need us.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, Sanderstead plots often have changes in level and pockets of heavy clay that need careful drainage planning. We design bases and falls to move water away from the house and keep paving looking sharp through winter. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our outdoor seating areas Sanderstead area are built to suit larger footprints and mature boundaries common in CR2.

Costs vary with size, levels and finishes. As a guide, a small patio seating area starts around £3,500–£6,500. Mid-sized designs with built-in benches, lighting and quality paving are often £8,000–£18,000. Larger projects with pergola seating, fire pit areas and multiple zones can be £20,000–£45,000+. We’ll survey your garden and provide an itemised quote so you can adjust scope and materials.
Most builds take 3–10 working days, depending on groundwork, curing times and complexity. A straightforward patio can be completed in under a week, while designs with steps, retaining edges, pergolas, lighting and a fire pit area typically take 1–3 weeks. Weather, access for machinery and the condition of existing ground can affect timings. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden seating projects are permitted development, especially patios, pergolas and low-level structures. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if the property is listed, or if structures are unusually tall or close to boundaries. Drainage requirements may also apply for new hard surfaces. We’ll advise early, check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Croydon, and can help you plan the design to stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating builds, covering installation issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, poor jointing, or faulty construction of built-in benches and edging. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like paving, pergola components and lighting fittings. We also give clear care guidance to protect finishes and help your patio, dining space or fire pit area perform well long term.
We tailor the design to your home and how you entertain. Popular choices include porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance patio, sandstone or granite for a more natural look, and timber or composite for pergola seating and shade structures. Built-in benches can be rendered, brick-faced or clad to match existing walls, with optional storage. We’ll help you choose textures, colours, lighting and layout so the space feels cohesive and practical.
